BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The Southeastern Conference announced that South Carolina will host Texas A&M on Aug. 28, 2014 in the first conference football game to be televised on the SEC Network.

The conference released its full 2014 league schedule on Wednesday, which includes eight games for all 14 teams. The schedule uses a 6-1-1 format that includes six games against all division opponents, one permanent non-divisional opponent and one rotating non-divisional opponent.

The SEC's leadership is reviewing the scheduling process and changes could be made by 2016.

The SEC Network is scheduled to debut on Aug. 21, 2014 and will have one week on air to prepare for the South Carolina-Texas A&M showdown.

The league's championship game will be played at the Georgia Dome for the 23rd consecutive year on Dec. 6, 2014.
