We’re a quarter of the way in, but now the real season starts as the Vols head into SEC play against the Florida Gators this Saturday in Gainesville. Tennessee is a sizeable underdog, although that often doesn’t matter as much as which color jersey The Weirdness is wearing. Sure, he’s usually on the wrong team, but he has to graduate at some point, doesn’t he?

Here’s when and where to find the games that matter to Vols fans this week, along with some suggestions on how and why to watch them. First up is the list curated just for Vols fans. The full schedule follows that.

It’s Vols-Gators at high noon on ESPN in The Swamp, Tennessee hoping for an upset. A couple of future Vols opponents are also in action, but those games shouldn’t provide much entertainment or education.

In the afternoon slot, it’s No. 8 Auburn at No. 17 Texas A&M on CBS. Four future Vols opponents — Kentucky, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Missouri — are in two games at the same time, so check in on them every once in a while or DVR them to watch later.

The game of the week is No. 7 Notre Dame at No. 3 Georgia at 8:00 on CBS. Who are you rooting for in that one? I’m going green.

Enjoy!
