And now the real football season begins, as the SEC kicks off a 10-game conference-only schedule this week.
First up is this week’s college football TV schedule curated just for Vols fans. Again, this means a little something different this year. We’re assuming you’re hungry for pretty much anything resembling football at this point.

UAB | South Alabama | 7:30 PM | ESPN | Live | It's football |
Not a lot to see here, but it’s Thursday night of a real college football week now that the SEC is playing games. And just the general sound of ESPN — the on-air personalities, the theme music, etc. — warms a heart.

Middle Tennessee | UTSA | 8:00 PM | CBSSN | Live | It's football |
This may be a maybe-maybe-not game for you, depending on how hungry you still are for anything resembling football. Honestly, I probably won’t catch this one.

#23 Kentucky | #8 Auburn | 12:00 PM | SECN | Live | Two future Vols opponents. Root for: Auburn |
AFTERNOON | |||||
#4 Georgia | Arkansas | 4:00 PM | SECN | Live | Two more future Vols opponents. Root for: Hogs |
EVENING | |||||
#15 Tennessee | South Carolina | 7:30 PM | SECN | Live | GO VOLS! |
Vanderbilt | #10 Texas A&M | 7:30 PM | SECN Alt | DVR | Two future Vols opponents. |
And finally, it’s the SEC all day, baby! At noon, we have two future Vols opponents (Week 4 and Week 8). The Vols are competing in the East, so we’re rooting for West teams over East teams every time to get a leg up on the standings. Kentucky’s no slouch, but Auburn should get them and help the Vols a bit right out of the gate.
The afternoon slot features our first look at Georgia, which should be downright frightening on defense but possibly anything but on offense. New Hogs head man Sam Pittman goes up against his former team, and although they’re not likely to score many (if any) points, maybe he can do something on defense. Woo Pig Sooie.
And then, finally, it’s Football Time in Tennessee, although it’s actually taking place in the Palmetto State as the Vols travel to South Carolina to take on the Gamecocks at 7:30 on the SEC Network. I’m liking the Vols a lot in this one. But don’t forget to set your DVR to catch two other future Vols opponents in Vanderbilt and Texas A&M taking place in the same time slot.
