The SEC revealed its TV schedule for Week 6 of college football on October 4th, a little less than two weeks from now. There are marquee matchups across the conference.

Week 6 kicks off with Kentucky at Georgia at 12:00 p.m. ET on ABC. Then, there will be two 3:30 p.m. ET games, a 4 p.m. ET game and a 7:30 p.m. ET game in prime time.

The full schedule can be seen below as the five games below are featured. There is one non-conference game.

Week 6 SEC TV schedule

Kentucky at Georgia, 12 p.m. ET (ABC)
Vanderbilt at Alabama, 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC or ESPN)
Texas at Florida, 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC or ESPN)
Kent State at Oklahoma, 4:00 p.m. ET (SEC Network)
Mississippi State at Texas A&M, 7:30 p.m. ET (SEC Network)

Perhaps the game to zone in on is Vanderbilt and Alabama. This SEC matchup has way more drama this season considering the massive upset of the Crimson Tide last year.

But as it stands now, the SEC sees Vandy and Bama ranked in the AP Poll at the same time! Vanderbilt is No. 18 and Alabama is No. 17 in the latest rankings.

But first things first, Alabama has Georgia to deal with. In fact, Kirby Smart is under more pressure than Kalen DeBoer according to ESPN’s Paul Finebaum.

“It’s Kirby Smart,” Finebaum said. “Maybe after the game, Kalen DeBoer might be. But, Kirby Smart has to prove to his own fan base that he can get through Alabama. And, that is really a mental issue. I’ve already heard it from ‘Bama fans. I’ve heard it. I know you have. They feel very good about the game. Not so much, maybe, about the matchups, but they just they feel like Georgia is their game.

“And, why not, if you look at recent history? So, I think Kirby does deal with a lot of pressure, probably not as much as he would have had last week in Neyland gone the other way. But I don’t feel as much pressure on the Alabama side right now. I think those last two games in the off-week helped to settle everyone down. Everyone now can acknowledge that Florida State was a much better team than anyone dreamed possible. And maybe that goes down as the outlier as opposed to the norm.”
