LSU vs UF CBS
AL v A&M
UGA v Mizz
Vandy v USCe
UK V AU
Ole Miss v Memphis
MSU v LaTech

6 PM to 7:30 start

We definitely won't be on CBS. From there, it's a total crapshoot imo.
A nooner on SECN is not outside the realm of possibilities. ABC slot is already taken.
Michigan State @ Michigan and the SEC matchup that CBS does not take will get ESPN & ESPN2 at night. That doesn't leave a lot - 4pm on SECN is probably our best opportunity.

I highly doubt MSU/Mich is a night game. There have only been two night kickoffs in the history of Michigan Stadium. That'll be a noon or 3:30 game on ABC almost guaranteed.
Start time will depend on how the games this weekend go. I could easily see an ESPN noon kickoff like last time they were in town.
CBS would take Alabama/aTm first because I'm assuming Florida loses this weekend. LSU/UF would be an ESPN night game. MSU/Mich will probably be 3:30 ABC.
That leaves 12:00 ESPN, 4:00 SECN and 7:30 SECN.

No home SEC game is televised by ABC anyway so that's kind of irrelevant. As mentioned it's definitley not the 3:30 CBS game, so we're basically looking at noon or night ha.

I agree with you on Michigan...didn't think about that. Your list is missing 12pm SECN and 7pm ESPN2.
My guess in order of probability: 4pm SECN, 12pm SECN, 7pm ESPN2, 7:30pm SECN, 12pm ESPN.
In other words, who the hell knows.

If Mizzou loses to USC, then it'll be a nooner.
Posted on 10/1/15 at 12:40 pm to UGAalum08
Would love a night game. Not too many possibilities left on the schedule (maybe UK but Mizzou may travel better)

one of these could be on CBSSN like vandy/mtsu is this week or maybe ESPNU. nobody GAS about either of these. The other could be the noon SECN like we were vs southern

AL v A&M

vandy/sc could also be the noon SECN. In order of eyeballs on the sets of these matchups I'd say:
AL/A&M (by a lot)
UGA/Miz
UK/AU
Vandy/SC
Al/A&M is clearly (IMO) the 2nd best matchup of the day from a network standpoint. Alabama will always get eyeballs and A&M is hot right now (granted, that could change in 2 weeks). So where does that leave us....would next pick go to SECN (in the evening or 4pm slot) or ESPN2? I don't know.

Imma guessing noon on the SECN... FWIW, IIRC, I think that slot is #3 in the pecking order after #1CBS & #2ESPN pick. Depending on what happens with Mizzou-SCe Sat. The UGA-MU game might unfortunately be the 3rd game in the pecking order that Sat. with Bama vs aTm on ESPN... 
ETA:.....
CBS gets first pick every week for their 3:30/2:30c time slot. No other network may broadcast a game where an SEC team is the home team during this time slot.
ESPN gets to pick the next 2 games. They may choose to start these games either before 1:30/12:30c or after 7/6c as to not conflict with the CBS broadcast.
SEC Network gets next pick for their for their 12/11c game.

Yeah I think we're pretty squarely in the #3 best matchup of the day. I just didnt' know the pecking order. Damn.

Do you have a source on SECN nooner being 3rd pick, above 4pm & 7:30?
Week 1
12pm - ULM @ UGA
4:00 - BGSU @ UTk
7:30pm - New Mexico State @ UF
Week 2
12pm - Jax State @ AU
4:00 - Middle Tenn @ Bama
7:30pm - UK @ USCjr
Week 3
12pm - Nevada @ A&M
4:00 - Northwester @ Miss State
7:30pm - UF @ UK
Week 4
12pm - Southern @ UGA
4:00 - ULM @ Bama
7:30pm - Mizzou @ UK
The 7:30 slot sure seems to have better games to me.

There's a SEC game at 4pm pretty much every weekend. There are sometimes games at 6pm too. We played USCjr at 6 on ESPN.

Yeah, the 4pm SECN games seem to be shitty OOC games. We did have USCjr at 6pm on ESPN though...Maybe 6 is their cutoff, I dunno.
I wouldn't use it as the de-facto pecking order though. Actual selections this year suggest otherwise. I realize I left this week out...SECN games:
12pm - USC @ Mizzou
4pm - SJSU @ AU
7:30pm - (21) Miss State @ (14) A&M
Those nooners aren't being picked over 7:30...

Il thinking we're gonna be 7:15 on ESPN 2.
Posted on 10/1/15 at 1:29 pm to UGAalum08
posted above... SECN gets the 3rd pick after CBS, then ESPN/ESPN2(they usually take 2 SEC games but not always) then the SECN 12:00 game
Once again the SECN 4:00 game is a OOC matchup...

would love that. I'm not worried about them this year since they suck and we seem to be fairly legitimate, but that noon start in 13 was just awful. I'd love to get them at night at home and really take it to em.

Yeah, I get the LSU sticky, just struggling to believe 12pm SECN has priority over 7:30pm SECN based on actual selections.
They took USC @ Mizzou over (21) Miss State @ (14) A&M this week?
What's in the sticky just has some inconsistencies - not just pecking order, but the whole thing about conflicting with the CBS 3:30 slot. Sticky says no game where SEC is the home team...that ain't true because there's at least one every week. "No conference matchup" between 1pm and 7pm doesn't work either, because we played USC at 6pm. There might be some stipulation along those lines in the contract, but it's not what the sticky says.
