The Southeastern Conference revealed its complete television schedule for the first three weeks of the football season Tuesday afternoon, and that includes four league head-to-head matchups on Sept. 17.
Alabama’s game at Ole Miss that day previously was announced by CBS as its 3:30 p.m. EDT telecast, and the LSU-Mississippi State, Auburn-Texas A&M and Georgia-Missouri contests will be shown that night. The games at LSU and at Auburn will be televised by ESPN or ESPN2 with kickoffs at 7, while Georgia’s game at Missouri will have a 7:30 kickoff on the SEC Network.
Georgia will be making its third venture to Faurot Field, having drubbed the Tigers by a combined 75-20 the first two times.
Road teams are 3-1 in the Georgia-Missouri series since Mizzou joined the SEC in 2012, and they’re 4-0 in the Auburn-Texas A&M series in that same stretch. Auburn continued the road success last season with a 26-10 win in College Station.
LSU and Mississippi State will play in Baton Rouge for the first time since the 2014 meeting, when Dak Prescott led the Bulldogs to a 34-10 lead in an eventual 34-29 win. It was MSU’s first triumph inside Tiger Stadium since 1992.
