Fellas, I’m trying to make some travel plans for Auburn weekend and am hoping to get a read on the likely kickoff time. Any ideas?

Oct. 14 is one of the SEC “doubleheader” days with 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Central kickoffs.

The CBS games we know about so far are:

Sept. 23: Ole Miss @ Bama

Sept. 30: Georgia @ Auburn

Oct. 7: TBA but the options are Vanderbilt at Florida; Kentucky at Georgia; Arkansas at Ole Miss; LSU at Missouri; Alabama at Texas A&M. I’m guessing they go with Bama @ A&M.

Oct. 21: most likely Tenn @ Bama or Ole Miss @ Auburn


So for the October 14 doubleheader, the options are:

Arkansas @ Alabama
Missouri @ Kentucky
Auburn @ LSU
Florida @ South Carolina
Texas A&M @ Tennessee
Georgia @ Vanderbilt

I see three potential options for CBS there: Missouri @ Kentucky (could be a decent game), Auburn @ LSU, and A&M @ Tennessee.

So do they put us in the 2:30 time slot and put one of the other games at 11? Surely they don’t make LSU-Auburn the 11:00 game, right??

Let me shake my Magic 8 ball and see what it says.

Standard answer: 69 minutes after 3:50.


Realistic answer: It has proven to be a futile effort to try to "predict game times" 3 weeks out. Too many variables and moving parts.

I hear you bro. Just wanted to get a read on what the crowd thinks. We can always trust the collective wisdom of TD

I would vote 2:30. I don’t think it will be on CBS at 11am

Every year for quite a while. Usually the 11:00 central game is at an SEC location in the eastern time zone though.

That’s a slate of mediocre games, nothing stands out. I think you’ll have to see how games shape up before you can even make an educated guess. LSU/Auburn at 2:30 would be my lean

I doubt it, unless there’s 3 more losses between the 2 teams by them. As far as the 2:30 slot, we appear to be the best matchup right now. But losses will factor in—Auburn will probably have 2. And how many times they feature Auburn in that slot will be a factor. They already have them for Georgia and will likely have them for the Iron Bowl later. Will they want to have them there 3 times so close together if they have a couple losses? Maybe. Especially if LSU looks good in beating Arkansas and Ole Miss and shoots up the rankings, and they want to make sure they feature us in that slot at least once.

Tl;dr—who knows. A few variables still have to play out. We’ll know more after Saturday and a lot more after next Saturday.
