In less than three months time, we will be nearing the third weekend of SEC football.

Exciting isn’t it?

The league office released its official kickoff times for the first three weeks of the season on Thursday afternoon. Several out-of-conference matchups featuring Power 5 opponents were previously announced thanks to TV contracts and now the wait is over for the remaining cupcake home games and early-season league contests.
