2009 SEC Football TV Predictions


God Bless Night Games

JimFromDuluth has put together his self proclaimed way too early TV forecast. His projections for kickoff times for Georgia Bulldog football games (home games in caps):
    Sept. 5 - Oklahoma St. 3:30 ABC
    Sept. 12 - S. CAROLINA 7:45 ESPN
    Sept. 19 - Arkansas 7:00 ESPN2
    Sept. 26 - ARIZONA ST 7:00 ESPN2
    Oct. 3 - LSU 3:30 CBS
    Oct. 10 - Tennessee 12:00 ESPN
    Oct. 17 - Vandy 12:30 ESPN-R
    Oct. 31 - Florida (JAX) 3:30 CBS
    Nov. 7 - TENN. TECH 1:00
    Nov. 14 - AUBURN 7:45 ESPN
    Nov. 21 - KENTUCKY 12:30 ESPN-R
    Nov. 28 - Ga. Tech 3:30 ABC
Jim and I disagree on a few games. I think Oklahoma State will be a twilight start on ESPN or ABC, and I don't think we'll have three true night games at home in a season. In other words, I would imagine that South Carolina might be moved up to a twilight start (5:00 ish) and Arizona State might land on CBS at 3:30. But who knows.

He didn't just put this together for UGA games in a vacuum. He actually went week by week across the entire SEC schedule. The tricky part is guessing what ESPN will do with their extra inventory of games in terms of time slots.
