Confirmed
Sam Houston St. @ LSU - 6:30 PM Night game
UL Monroe @ LSU - 6:00 PM Night game
Alabama @ LSU - CBS Primetime


Speculation
Mississippi St. @ LSU
- Troy @ Georgia is already confirmed for the 11:00 SEC Network game.
- Florida @ Alabama will 99.9% get the 2:30 CBS game
- South Carolina @ Vanderbilt and Miss St @ LSU are the only other SEC games. I'm predicting a night game

New Mexico State @ LSU
There are 4 SEC match-ups this day. There's a chance this one is on the SEC Network at 11:00

Kentucky @ LSU

- Kentucky could possibly be 4-2 heading into this game if they upset one of Vandy, USCe and Florida.
- It's 1 of 5 SEC Match-ups that day. I think we compete with Tennessee @ Ole Miss for the last night game slot

Ole Miss @ LSU
- I think South Carolina @ Auburn will be the 2:30 CBS game

Mississippi State @ LSU wil be a night game in my opinion, and I think one of Kentucky and New Mexico State will be too. Unless one of or both teams tank..Ole MIss @ LSU will be a night game. Might luck out and have all 7 home games at night.

It is confirmed that CBS's day night double header is that weekend.

You can put things together I'm sure

Ole Miss and Mississippi State are two I'd expect would be night games. Kentucky may be one of those odd noon games.

I think ESPN is going to try and put us on at night

My prediction: all 7 will be night games

I know it's not a home game, but what time slot do you think we'll have for 10/11 @ Florida? a&m and Ole miss play that day too..hopefully they get the 2:30 and we steal the night game, especially since we haven't played the UF game at night since 2010

It is a double header game for CBS at 11 and 2:30. So we'll be at 2:30

Both teams will either be 5-0 or 4-1..it'll probably be at 2:30.

i don't think SEC NETwork will force LSU to play home @11am. But you never know.

If Joe really did get commitment from the networks for more night games, that alone will earn my respect.

Its a big deal

"Through these conversations there has developed an understanding that CBS, ESPN and all its platforms will recognize the importance of LSU home night games in their scheduling process with assurances that every effort will be made to maximize the number of LSU home games at night. For example, CBS has agreed to limit the number of games played in their afternoon window. And I can assure you that the SEC Network will enhance LSU's tradition of playing games at night in Tiger Stadium.

"We sincerely appreciate Commissioner Slive and the SEC for recognizing the importance of night games to the LSU football program and to all of you who so passionately support the Tigers. Night games in Tiger Stadium are a long-standing tradition of our culture. We are extremely excited that the league recognizes this unique tradition.

"I look forward to seeing you in Tiger Stadium this fall ... when the sun goes down!
