At least one SEC team was featured in six College GameDay events last season, including four of the first six. There are at least three out-of-the-ordinary matchups to start the campaign this season involving Florida State, Notre Dame and the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Though the College GameDay crew has shown a preference in recent years to diversify its destinations and even looks for small conference, Ivy League or military academy matchups, there are plenty of options in the SEC.

While trying to mix it up, here are the best options each week across the SEC in 2017:

Week 1: Sept. 2 Alabama vs. Florida State in Atlanta: Both teams are expected to be ranked at least in the top five to start the season, and there will be plenty of talk about a potential rematch in the College Football Playoff.

They have combined to win or play for a national championship in five of the past six years. The conference chatter will begin early and often as Jimbo Fisher is 9-1 against the league as Florida State’s head coach.

Look for this comment to be replayed over and over: The SEC didn’t invent football.

Even with some slight stumbles, Alabama has won 40 of its 44 games in three seasons and four of the past eight national championships.

Second option: Florida vs. Michigan at Arlington, Texas

Week 2: Sept. 9 Georgia at Notre Dame: This should go a long way toward figuring if Notre Dame’s 4-8 season in 2016 was a trend or aberration. Georgia, meanwhile, has its own questions to answer, even at quarterback, where Jacob Eason will solidify himself as the next Matthew Stafford or have to fight off a challenge from Jake Fromm. Notre Dame made a host of staff changes, while Georgia has off-the-field questions starting with Trenton Thompson. The 1981 Sugar Bowl will be a hot discussion where Herschel Walker was the MVP in the win over Notre Dame.

Second option: Auburn at Clemson. Both teams have new quarterbacks and Playoff aspirations, but GameDay might delay a trip to Death Valley until Clemson hosts FSU on Nov. 11.

Week 3: Sept. 16 Tennessee at Florida: The Streak is over, given the Vols’ win last year, but this will still offer an early barometer to the SEC East this season. What kind of hot seat will each coach be on by kickoff? And will there be any comments made about a duck pulling a truck?

Second option: LSU at Mississippi State

Week 4: Sept. 23 Arkansas vs Texas A&M at Arlington: Another series defined by a streak in recent years. This one has the Aggies with five straight, all since they joined the SEC. Two questions will be answered by the buzzer in this one: Can A&M sustain a hot start for the fourth consecutive season, and can Bret Bielema fend off any hot seat chatters without a win? Raleigh Williams III had a decent outing last season, and could be in line for a breakout game.

Second option: Mississippi State at Georgia

Week 5: Sept. 30 Georgia at Tennessee: The Vols made comeback victories a habit last season, none more dramatic than the Hail Mary in Athens. After Georgia won five straight in the series, Tennessee has won the past two. Both coaches need this win to keep restless fans at bay. Georgia fans will no doubt squawk about knee injuries on the Neyland Stadium turf in recent years to Nick Chubb, Keith Marshall and Justin Scott-Wesley, while Tennessee fans will wonder if Butch Jones will go dancing once more.

Second choice: Ole Miss at Alabama

Week 6: Oct. 7 LSU at Florida: Don’t expect Jeremy Foley and Joe Alleva, if they’re even in the Swamp, to have a friendly midfield chat before this one. Given the history of this cross-division rivalry, with multiple hurricane delays, Tim Tebow’s appearance and the fourth down classic in 2007, it’s difficult to short-change the expectations.

Last year’s game was marked by the off-the-field back and forth by the administrations, but it really came down to a goal-line stand. Two years ago, it was Treon Harris enjoying one of the best performances of his career. And one would think, given the stable of quarterbacks, Jim McElwain will be able to figure out what options his has to win with long term. It’s also deep enough into the season to learn the offensive differences from Les Miles to Ed Orgeron.

Second choice: Alabama at Texas A&M

Week 7: Oct. 14 Auburn at LSU: Storylines abound. This could be a top 10 matchup pitting Derrius Guice’s Heisman campaign vs. the Auburn’s punishing front seven. Both offenses have promised change. Which one will deliver?

Second choice: Texas A&M at Florida

Week 8: Oct. 21 Tennessee at Alabama: The “Third Saturday in October” again fits the game and the calendar for this annual showdown that’s been dominated by the Crimson Tide in the past 10 meetings. If the Vols can pull the presumed upset, they no doubt would be in line for a possible rematch in Atlanta and berth in the College Football Playoff. The Vols haven’t won in Tuscaloosa since 2003, a team led by Casey Clausen, Cedric Houston and James Banks, which beat the likes of Brodie Croyle and the Crimson Tide coached by Mike Shula.

Second choice: Auburn at Arkansas

Week 9: Oct. 28 Georgia vs. Florida at Jacksonville: Georgia has a decent chance to be 6-1 or 7-0 at this point, and with remaining division games against Kentucky and South Carolina, the East could be decided by sunset. Jim McElwain has already built up equity in the series with a winning start, and Georgia fans’ heartburn could be a carryover from the lackluster end to the Mark Richt era in Jacksonville.

Second choice: Mississippi State at Texas A&M

Week 10: Nov. 4 LSU at Alabama: There will be no more important game on the schedule for Ed Orgeron than this one, and if he can’t quickly turn the fortunes of this series, he won’t be far behind Les Miles in the coaching history of the Tigers. Not only has Alabama won six straight and eight of 10, the Crimson Tide has kept the Tigers relatively in check on offense, as eight of the past 10 games has seen LSU score fewer than 20 points. While LSU’s offense will be scrutinized, the timing of this game will also reveal how Alabama has evolved following Lane Kiffin.

Second choice: South Carolina at Georgia

Week 11: Nov. 11 Georgia at Auburn: This game delivers the next tier of pressure for Gus Malzahn. Already behind Nick Saban, now he’s faced with keeping up with, or passing, one of Saban’s former assistants. Georgia holds a three-game winning streak, and the appeal of this contest will come down to Georgia being undefeated and Auburn being a legitimate threat in the West. The Tigers are 2-9 in the past 11 games against Georgia as the Bulldogs inched ahead in the all-time mark at 57-55-8.

Second option: Arkansas at LSU

Week 12: Nov. 18 LSU at Tennessee: The teams haven’t met since 2011, but the Vols represent good memories for the Tiger faithful. The teams played in the SEC Championship Game in 2001 and 2007, both LSU wins. The Tigers have won the past four matchups, their longest win streak in the series. LSU is 3-11-1 in Knoxville, but Tennessee owns the all-time mark at 20-9-3. This is the longest break in the series since 1993 and 2000.

Second option: Texas A&M at Ole Miss

Week 13: Nov. 25 Alabama at Auburn: The Iron Bowl will get the nod for an upset bid, or the winner locking up a bid in the College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide have enjoyed a three-game winning streak and won seven of the past nine. The CFP has dropped some luster from this one, as the winner might play three more games after this meeting. And honestly, it’ll come down to Auburn’s relative rebound from a 6-6 and 8-5 stretch the past two seasons. Though if the Crimson Tide are in the midst of a stumble, the television audience could be interested in seeing the recent king of the hill go down.

Second choice: Florida State at Florida, Clemson at South Carolina
