The SEC was upset-filled in Week 7. Auburn ended No. 1 Georgia’s 53-game winning streak against unranked opponents with a walk-off field goal and 27-24 triumph at Sanford Stadium. Moments later, No. 14 Tennessee polished off a 26-10 victory vs. No. 6 Alabama. Before both of those wins, though, Florida went to Austin and beat the Texas Longhorns by a 27-24 margin of its own.
Those final scores put the SEC’s potential College Football Playoff participants in an awful lot of flux. They also allowed the conference to decide on its final kickoff times and TV designations for Week 8.
As a result of Week 7’s games, LSU–Auburn will be a noon ET kickoff on ABC. Tennessee and South Carolina will get underway at 3:30 p.m. ET, as will Oklahoma and Mississippi State. The Vols and Gamecocks will air on ESPN, while the Sooners and Bulldogs will appear on SEC Network.
The all-Tiger affair at Jordan-Hare features two teams coming off big wins. LSU shutout Mississippi State — who was missing quarterback Kamario Taylor and running back Fluff Bothwell — 31-0 on Saturday. The goose egg in the opposing scoring column was the Tigers’ first against an SEC foe since 2007. Lane Kiffin and Co. will hope history repeats itself, because LSU won the national championship that season.
Whether Oklahoma will head to Starkville off a win or loss has yet to be determined. To find out, you can watch the Sooners face the Kentucky Wildcats on SEC Network.
