BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WTVA) — The Southeastern Conference announced Friday it is moving the December 5 football games for Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

The moves were made to get in games postponed earlier this season because of the coronavirus.

Ole Miss was supposed to play at LSU that Saturday, and Mississippi State had planned to host Missouri.

Instead, LSU will host Alabama that weekend to make up the game originally scheduled for November 14, and Missouri will host Arkansas on a game that was supposed to happen November 28.

The SEC said the Ole Miss-LSU and Missouri-Mississippi State games will be rescheduled as will Alabama-Arkansas, but time is running out for that to happen.

The SEC Championship Game is set for December 19 in Atlanta.
