Tidefans,

It's time for the "First Annual S-Man Projected Schedule!" After looking at the composite schedule for the SEC this upcoming year, and looking back at previous years, and the times that the games have been played, here is my best guess as to who will show the games, and what time kick-off will be.

9/3 MTSU PPV 6:00 p.m.
9/10 So. Miss. ESPN 2 8:00 p.m.
9/17 @ So. Carolina ESPN 6:45 p.m.
9/24 Arkansas CBS 2:30 p.m.
10/1 Florida CBS 2:30 p.m.
10/15 @ Ole Miss JP 11:30 a.m.
10/22 Tennessee CBS 2:30 p.m.
10/29 Utah State PPV 2:00 p.m.
11/5 @ Miss. State JP 11:30 a.m.
11/12 LSU ESPN 6:45 p.m.
11/19 @ Auburn 2:30 p.m.

I know that this looks like I’m only looking at the importance of Alabama games, but if you look at the CBS days, our match up is the most intriguing. Here is my projection for the CBS games:

9/10: USC @ UGA
9/17: UT @ UF
9/24: UArk @ UA Or UT @ LSU
10/1: UF @ UA
10/8: UGA @ UT
10/15: UF @ LSU
10/22: UT @ UA
10/29: UF vs. UGA
11/5: USC @ UArk.
11/12: AU @ UGA or UF @ USC
11/19: UA @ AU

I am not sure when CBS coverage starts, if it’s on 9/3 or 9/10, and I am not sure about Thanksgiving weekend.

It's just an educated guess, so feel more than free to debate it and correct any oversights. I wish I could give you all the explanation of why I've chosen some games over others, but that type of post would take an hour to put together... and I need to have a productive Friday (haha)!

Roll Tide! ~SMan
 
If you looked at the schedule from last year, you would have noticed that we played the majority of our games at night. I think it will be the same this year, due to the fact that it's not as hot at night and it's better for the economy when people are in town all day and stay the night. Just my thoughts :)
 
Good point

Unfortunately, we probably play most of our games according to what the TV networks tell us. :frown:
 
i'm really hoping that the arkansas game is at night. my grandfathers 100th birthday party is that afternoon in tuscaloosa and i'm hoping we can get many of the family members (sans grandpa unfortunately) to that game
 
In the name of GOD- ALL THE SEPT. GAME PLEASE START AT NIGHT!!!!!

That was due to ESPN and pay per view broadcasts. Games are in the afternoon if not broadcast on TV or PPV.

Those are fine reasons, just not the main ones.
