The SEC has 10 games on its Week 12 slate. Four of those contests involve FCS teams, while six are all-SEC affairs. Only a handful will potentially have College Football Playoff ramifications, though, which made the conference’s job a bit easier when planning the schedule.
On Monday, the SEC released its initial TV assignments for Week 12. Every game already is locked into its time slot, but a few intriguing battles still have their exact network to be determined.
Here’s the SEC’s full Week 12 slate:
- Wofford vs. Ole Miss – noon ET, SEC Network+
- Vanderbilt vs. Florida – noon ET, ABC or ESPN or SEC Network
- Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma – noon ET, ABC or ESPN or SEC Network
- Tennessee Tech vs. Mississippi State – 1:00 p.m. ET, SEC Network+
- Chattanooga vs. Alabama – 2:00 p.m. ET, SEC Network+
- Samford vs. Auburn – 3:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network
- Arkansas vs. Texas – 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC or ESPN
- LSU vs. Tennessee – 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC or ESPN
- Georgia vs. South Carolina – 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC
- Kentucky vs. Missouri – 7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network
Georgia, as the No. 1 team in the nation, finds itself in the unenviable position of playing another road affair at night in primetime. Kirby Smart’s squad has already beaten Alabama and Ole Miss in this same scenario, but a hot South Carolina Gamecocks team is ready to continue a late-season College Football Playoff push.
Elsewhere, LSU and Tennessee — if they beat Texas and Texas A&M, respectively, in Week 11 — would lock in the ABC designation for Week 12. The Tigers and Vols would be fighting for a potential CFP berth at Neyland Stadium, which is much more compelling than Arkansas traveling to Austin. The SEC will finalize its TV networks at least six days before kickoffs.
