SEC Football Week 1 Schedule, TV Times, and How to Watch

GAME OF THE WEEK

	Sat., 7 p.m. ET
	ESPN

There might be more national attention on Wisconsin-Alabama, but this should be the most exciting game involving SEC teams this weekend. The Aggies can make a huge statement by taking out one of the Pac-12's best teams, and don't think for a second that people won't point to this game later when arguing about whether the SEC West or Pac-12 South is the tougher division. Beyond that? The high powered offenses should make it a load of fun.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

	6 p.m. ET
	ESPN

These teams both had great offenses and bad defenses last year. Which team shores up the defense better this year might be the one who takes it.

	8 p.m. ET
	SEC Network

Vandy is actually the betting underdog in this game according to Vegas. Sorry, Vandy.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

	Noon ET
	SEC Network

All eyes will be on the Bulldog quarterbacks. Greyson Lamber will start, but how much will he play? How much will Brice Ramsey play? How irrelevant will the run game make them both look?

	Noon ET
	SECN Alternate

In a common theme around the conference, this game is a chance for an SEC team to test out battling quarterbacks against a lesser opponent.

	3:30 p.m. ET
	CBS

The Tigers don't have a quarterback controversy, but it'll still be fascinating to watch Jeremy Johnson's first start as the actual named starter and not just as a fill-in starter for a suspended Nick Marshall. Bobby Petrino teams tend to take a big leap forward in the second seasons, so the Cardinals should be tough.

	3:30 p.m. ET
	ESPNU

Let the bludgeoning begin.

	4 p.m. ET
	SECN Alternate

There isn't a quarterback controversy to speak of here, but if Maty Mauk looks iffy and Drew Lock looks good, expect to hear some grumbling out of Columbia.

	4 p.m. ET
	SEC Network

The Volunteers begin what we expect to be their first true run at an SEC East title since 2007 with a tune up against the favorite in the East division of the MAC.

	7 p.m. ET
	ESPNU

The Wildcats had better be ready for this one, as ULL has won nine games each of the past four seasons. UK should win, but the Cajuns aren't a pushover.

	7:30 p.m. ET
	SECN Alternate

Brandon Harris should put on a show here. If he doesn't, the howling in Baton Rouge will be strong.

	7:30 p.m. ET
	SEC Network

Yeah, yeah, it's another quarterback controversy thing here. It's true, but Florida has some of the biggest O-line questions in the league. If those QBs can't stay clean against the Aggies, it's bad news for the rest of the year.

	8 p.m. ET
	ABC

This is a bad, bad matchup for Wisconsin. The Badgers will certainly not roll over or anything, but running against Bama's front seven is going to be a very tough thing to pull off this year.

	10 p.m. ET
	Fox Sports 1

Yep, State is traveling to Southern for this one. No, it shouldn't make a difference in the outcome of the game.
