SEC announces kickoff times, television assignments for Week 4 slate
The SEC has released kickoff times for the weekend of Sept 23, including the showdown between Alabama and Ole Miss.
The Crimson Tide will host Ole Miss at 3:30 p.m., with CBS televising the game. Nick Saban will be facing his former assistant in Lane Kiffin that weekend.
Alabama escaped with a 30-24 win over Kiffin and the Rebels last fall. Unfortunately for the Crimson Tide, Alabama didn’t fare as well against another former Saban assistant this past weekend as Steve Sarkisian and Texas pulled off a stunning 10-point upset in Tuscaloosa.
As for other games that weekend, arguably the biggest one is Arkansas at LSU. That matchup will kick off at 7 p.m. and will be televised by ESPN.

SEC announces Players of the Week following Week 2 of college football
In addition to announcing kickoff times on Saturday, the league also revealed players of the week for Week 2.
You can check the winners out right here:
Offensive Player of the Week: Spencer Rattler (QB, South Carolina)
Co-Defensive Players of the Week: Jett Johnson (LB, Mississippi State), Eugene Asante (LB, Auburn)
Special Teams Player of the Week: Caden Davis (K, Ole Miss)
Offensive lineman of the Week: Eli Cox (IOL, Kentucky)
Co-Defensive Linemen of the Week: Nyles Gaddy (DL, Missouri), Trajan Jeffcoat (DL, Arkansas)
Freshman of the Week: London Humphreys (WR, Vanderbilt)
Leading the way, Rattler put on a heck of a show in the limited time he actually did play against Furman. He threw for 345 yards and three touchdowns and put the Gamecocks so far ahead in the early going that they were able to cycle through four other QBs the rest of the way.
The other SEC offensive players recognized were Kentucky offensive lineman Eli Cox, a stalwart guy on the interior who was strong in the win over Eastern Kentucky — as well as rookie Vandy wideout London Humphreys, who caught four passes for 109 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Wake Forest.
