We had seen some early television listings for the SEC Network that will feature each of the 14 members from the conference who has won seven of the past eight national championships earlier this spring, and now we have the times and information for 12 additional games so fans can begin to schedule their plans to attend the contests.

Week 1
South Dakota State at Missouri, 3:30pm ET on ESPNU
Clemson at Georgia, 5:30pm ET on ESPN
Idaho at Florida, 7pm ET on ESPNU

Week 2
UAB at Mississippi State, 2pm ET on FSN
Ohio at Kentucky, 3:30pm ET on ESPNU
Ole Miss at Vanderbilt, 4:30pm ET on ESPN
San Jose State at Auburn, 7pm ET on ESPN2 or ESPNU
East Carolina at South Carolina, 7pm ET on ESPN2 or ESPNU

Week 3
Massachusetts at Vanderbilt, noon ET on FSN
Southern Mississippi at Alabama, 6pm ET on ESPN2
Louisiana-Monroe at LSU, 7pm ET on ESPNU
Rice at Texas A&M, 9pm ET on ESPN2

The Week 1 game in Athens between Clemson and Georgia will be a fantastic way to start the season as the two teams met in the season opener last season in primetime with the Tigers escaping with a narrow victory in Death Valley. This year’s game should be just as exciting as Todd Gurley leads the Dawgs with Aaron Murray in the NFL.

Ole Miss at Vanderbilt will be the marquee game for the week of the games listed above in a rematch of a game that went down to the final seconds last season as the Rebels got a 75-yard touchdown run from Jeff Scott with 1:07 remaining in the game as they rallied twice late to win 39-35 in Nashville in their season opener.

Week 3 doesn’t have a particularly sexy matchup on paper but it will be an opportunity to see Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M on national television as each of the SEC West programs will be breaking in a new quarterback this season, so it will be an early look at how those signal-callers fare early on.
