There are just 85 days left until the 2016 college football season kicks off, and we’re already getting excited for some monster matchups in Week 1.

Unfortunately, not all the games on the slate will get you going.

On Sept. 1, Tennessee opens up against Appalachian State, while South Carolina and Vanderbilt kick off inter-conference play. On Sept. 3, Arkansas meets Louisiana Tech, Florida takes on Massachusetts, Kentucky will face Southern Mississippi and Mississippi State will play host to South Alabama.

Luckily, the other seven SEC teams will be facing off against other Power 5 teams for our viewing pleasure, and all seven have met their opponents at least once before.

So here’s a look at the history of these matchups:

Alabama vs. USC

When: Sept. 3 at 7 p.m. CT
Where: AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas
Record: Alabama leads 5-2

Perhaps the most significant game in the history of this matchup was in 1970. In the midst of marches and protests, Paul “Bear” Bryant deliberately scheduled what was just the second integrated game that would be played in the state of Alabama. The Tide lost big to USC at Legion Field, but it was speculated that it was Bryant’s expectation all along.

Now, everyone wants to beat Alabama. For every team on Alabama’s schedule, its biggest game seems to be the one against the Tide. It’s no different for the Trojans.

Auburn vs. Clemson

When: Sept. 3 at 8 p.m. CT
Where: Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala.
Record: Auburn leads 34-13-2

Auburn is the heavy leader in this matchup, and between 1952 and 2010, Auburn held up a 14-game winning streak. However, then Clemson knocked off our Tigers in 2011 and 2012. Now, Clemson is coming off an obviously monster season, and there’s no reason to think head coach Dabo Swinney will have his team slowing down at all.

On the other hand, Auburn is coming off a painful-to-watch season, and head coach Gus Malzahn is on the hot seat. There’s a lot on the line in this Tigers versus Tigers matchup, so the winner might come down to who is hungrier.

Georgia vs. North Carolina

When: Sept. 3 at 5:30 p.m. ET
Where: Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga.
Record: Georgia leads 16-12-2

This matchup is more even than you might expect. And in fact, nine — more than half — of Georgia’s 16 wins came in the last 10 meetings. That being said, the Bulldogs finished last season on a five-game win streak, while the Tar Heels suffered two heartbreaking losses to close 2015.

This will be Kirby Smart’s first showing as head coach for Georgia, so there’s a first impression to be made. Larry Fedora will be leading the Tar Heels in the season opener, but defensive coordinator Gene Chizik may be the more interesting challenge. The last time the two faced each other, Smart was the defensive coordinator for the Tide, and Chizik was the head coach for Auburn.

LSU vs. Wisconsin

When: Sept. 3 at 2:30 p.m. CT
Where: Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.
Record: LSU leads 3-0

Wisconsin has yet to win a game against the Tigers, but it came close in 2014. The Badgers were up 24-13 entering the fourth quarter, but LSU came back with a fury, outscoring Wisconsin 15-0 in the last 15 minutes of play in the 28-24 win. There’s no doubt the Badgers are hungry to avenge that loss, but do they have the tools?

LSU is returning offensive stars RB Leonard Fournette and WR Malachi Dupre, and QB Brandon Harris is expected to show great improvement in the 2016 season. On the other side of the ball, the Tigers are bringing back S Jamal Adams, CB Tre’Davious White and LB Kendell Beckwith.

Missouri vs. West Virginia

When: Sept. 3, Noon ET
Where: Milan Puskar Stadium (Mountaineer Field) in Morgantown, W.Va.
Record: Missouri leads 3-2

This matchup is pretty even. However, these two teams haven’t met since 1998, and they are certainly not the same teams they were back then. Mizzou has moved from the Big 12 to the SEC, while the Mountaineers have moved from the Big East to the Big 12.

This season opener is big for both sides. For new Tigers head coach Barry Odom, this will be his first opportunity to show his worth as the successor to the legendary Gary Pinkel. Last year, West Virginia looked like it might be a great team, but head coach Dana Holgorsen just couldn’t keep his team consistent. It’s likely that the loser of this game won’t be taken very seriously in 2016.

Ole Miss vs. FSU

When: Sept. 5 at 8 p.m. ET
Where: Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla.
Record: Ole Miss leads 1-0

These two teams met once back in 1961, and the Rebels delivered a 33-0 beating to the Seminoles. However, this is not 1961, and Florida State is expected to win a lot more than four games this season. Both teams are expected to enter the 2016 season ranked in the top 10, so this opener should be exciting.

However, there are still some outside factors to consider. After the NCAA alleged 13 violations against Ole Miss football, the school announced it would self-impose a number of sanctions. This decision may have little to no impact on this 2016 team, but we’ll have to wait until Sept. 5 to find out for sure.

Texas A&M vs. UCLA

When: Sept. 3, 2:30 p.m.CT
Where: Kyle Field in College Station, Texas
Record: Series tied 2-2

These teams last met in the 1998 Cotton Bowl, where the Bruins came away with a close 29-23 win. Considering all the changes the Aggies have seen since 1998, I doubt anyone there is thinking of payback, so this matchup holds very little historical significance for the players on either side.

Texas A&M has been buried in off-the-field drama since last season, but after finally settling on a quarterback — Oklahoma transfer Trevor Knight — it looks like the Aggies might be ready for some stability. It won’t be easy, though. The Bruins are returning eight starters on defense, and Knight will have to play one of his best games in order to get past them.
