SEC announces kickoff times, television designations for Week 7

The SEC has arguably been the best conference in the country this season. With teams officially in the thick of conference play, things are only heating up.

On Monday, the SEC revealed its teams’ Week 7 slate of games and how to watch them. While not all the kickoff times and broadcast channels for the Oct. 11 slate have been decided yet, here’s what the conference knows thus far.

All games below are scheduled for Oct. 11.

Alabama at Missouri — 12 p.m. ET/11 a.m. CT (ABC)
Washington State at Ole Miss — 12:45 p.m. ET/11:45 a.m. CT (SEC Network)
Oklahoma vs. Texas — 3:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CT (ABC)
Arkansas at Tennessee — 4:15 p.m. ET/3:15 p.m. CT (SEC Network)
Florida at Texas A&M — 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT or 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT or 7:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. CT (ESPN or ABC or SEC Network)
South Carolina at LSU — 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT or 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT or 7:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. CT (ESPN or ABC or SEC Network)
Georgia at Auburn — 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT or 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT or 7:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. CT (ESPN or ABC or SEC Network)

No matter how the upcoming weekend plays out, Texas versus Arkansas will be the most-talked about SEC game in Week 7. Texas dominated Oklahoma 34-3 in the Red River rivalry game last year, and the Sooners will be hungry to exact revenge.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer is expected to nearing a return around the time of the highly-anticipated matchup, but it’s unclear if he’ll be able to play. Mateer underwent hand surgery last week after suffering an injury in Week 4.

Plenty of eyes will be on Arkansas’ game against Tennessee as well. The outing will be Arkansas’ first game since firing head coach Sam Pittman. Razorbacks offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino will serve as the team’s interim coach.

It won’t be Petrino’s first time leading the program. Petrino served Arkansas’ head coach from 2008-11 and guided the Razorbacks to back-to-back double-digit win seasons. Arkansas hasn’t won more than nine games in a season since.

Of course, Tennessee won’t make it easy for Petrino to have a triumphant return to the helm of Arkansas. The Volunteers are 4-1 and will also be coming off a bye week.

Ole Miss is the only team in Week 7 playing a non-conference opponent. However, the Rebels played three conference foes through their first five games, and will have a chance to taste outside competition on Oct. 11.
