The Tennessee Volunteers kick off Gameday this week at noon on the SEC Network, and there are six (six!) games involving eight (eight!) future opponents (plus one former opponent) that will probably impact the Vols’ 2020 season.

First up is this week’s college football TV schedule curated just for Vols fans. A full and searchable college football TV schedule for this week is below the curated version.

Away Home Time TV How Why
Louisiana Tech #22 BYU 9:00 PM ESPN2 Live It's football

If you owe your family or someone else some time, you’re good both Thursday night (no games) and Friday night. If you’re looking to kill some time with football, though, this one will do the job.

Gameday, October 3, 2020

Away Home Time TV How Why
NOON
Missouri #21 Tennessee 12:00 PM SECN Live GO VOLS!
South Carolina #3 Florida 12:00 PM ESPN DVR Prior opponent, future opponent
AFTERNOON
#13 Texas A&M #2 Alabama 3:30 PM CBS Live, then channel hop Two future opponents
Ole Miss Kentucky 4:00 PM SECN Channel hop, then live Future opponent
EVENING
#7 Auburn #4 Georgia 7:30 PM ESPN Live/Channel hop Next opponent, future opponent
Arkansas #16 Mississippi State 7:30 PM SECN Alt Channel hop/DVR Future opponent
#20 LSU Vanderbilt 7:30 PM SECN Channel hop/DVR Future opponent

The Vols kick the day off in the noon slot on the SEC Network when they host the Missouri Tigers. But set your DVRs for the South Carolina-Florida game, too, as we’ll get some more information about how frightened we should be of the Gators.

In the afternoon slot, we get looks at three future Vols’ opponents. Alabama and Texas A&M square off on CBS. Assuming the Vols beat Missouri at noon, root for the Tide here, as it increases the chances that the Tennessee-Georgia game the following week gets the prime CBS 3:30 slot. Kentucky also plays in the afternoon slot, so keep your eye on both games.

The feature game in the evening slot is Georgia-Auburn on ESPN at 7:30. Root for Georgia here, as the Bulldogs also need to win for the Vols to be playing at 3:30 on CBS instead of noon next Saturday. Future Vols opponents Arkansas and Vanderbilt are also in action, so watch live what’s most interesting and DVR the rest unless you’d prefer to just channel hop among all three all night long.

So that Miss v. UK game really intrigues me and I think it’s a must win for UK. Unless UK’s defense is significantly better than UF’s, I could see Kiffin putting up points. The question will be, can UK can keep up with an offense that isn’t built for shootouts? I honestly don’t see that. UK will need their defense to dictate the game, slow it down, and keep the score in the 20s to win. If it reaches the 30s or higher then Ole Miss has the edge. Now, why is it a must win? If UK somehow goes… Read more »
