A huge opportunity awaits the Vols this week when they travel to Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs in the Best-Game-From-The-Best-Conference time slot at 3:30 on CBS. Nothing matters more, although there are a handful of other games of some interest to Tennessee fans as well.
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.

Tulane and Houston may not get your motor running, but this is a big week for Vols fans, so let’s go ahead and prime the pump early.

Louisville | Georgia Tech | 7:00 PM | ESPN | Live | It's football |
This could be a fun one. Louisville is only a 6.5-point favorite over the maybe-still-retooling Yellow Jackets.

Gameday kicks off with two future Vols opponents matching up against each other when No. 4 Florida takes on No. 21 Texas A&M. There’s also a Top 25 matchup in the ACC, but in a year where pretty much everybody is just playing within their own conference, it doesn’t matter nearly as much as what our conference foes are doing. Same goes for the Red River Rivalry, which would usually merit at least a check-in every once in a while. But in 2020, we’re focused on the Gators and the Aggies in this time slot. Gig ‘Em.
And then it’s the main attraction for the day when No. 14 Tennessee takes on No. 3 Georgia on CBS at 3:30. The Bulldogs are two-touchdown favorites, and the GRT Statsy Preview Machine likes them by 17, but my gut isn’t buying it just yet. Also, don’t forget to set your DVR for the Arkansas-Auburn game on at the same time so you can watch that one later.
In the evening slot, we’ll get a look at two future Vols opponents as Nick Saban and Alabama take on Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin at the odd kickoff time of 6:00 on ESPN and Mississippi State takes on Kentucky at 7:30 on the SEC Network.
