1. Ohio State at Oregon, Sept. 12

2. Alabama at LSU, Nov. 7
A rare revenge game for Alabama, this time against the defending national champs in Baton Rouge.
 
3. Florida vs. Georgia, Oct. 31 (Jacksonville, Fla.)
The Bulldogs have ruled the SEC East the last few years, but Florida is closing the gap and ready to make their push back to the top of the division. SEC and playoff implications are likely on the line.

4. Georgia at Alabama, Sept. 19
Speaking of Georgia and Alabama, they’ll actually play in the regular season in mid-September. It could be an early preview of the SEC Championship Game as Nick Saban looks to remain perfect against former assistants (Kirby Smart).
 
5. Texas at LSU, Sept. 12
Sam Ehlinger and the Longhorns couldn’t keep up the pace against the Tigers last season. Can Texas score a major victory on the road in the second part of this home-and-home series?
 
6. Ohio State at Penn State, Oct. 24

7. LSU at Florida, Oct. 10
LSU heads to The Swamp as Dan Mullen and the Gators look to take a bite out of the defending SEC and national champs.

8. Auburn at Georgia, Oct. 10
Georgia and Auburn have had some great games over the years, and Bo Nix and the Tigers hope to score a big road victory to help remain a contender.
 
9. Alabama vs. USC, Sept. 5 (Arlington, Texas)
Alabama looks to set the tone for a national championship run in its season opener in Arlington. USC QB Kedon Slovis hopes to stand in the Tide’s way.
 
10. Clemson at Notre Dame, Nov. 7
11. Michigan at Ohio State, Nov. 28

12. Auburn at Alabama, Nov. 28
The Iron Bowl could be the game that decides the SEC West champion, with the winner moving on to Atlanta for a shot at the SEC title.
 
13. Penn State at Michigan
14. Michigan at Washington, Sept. 5
15. Minnesota at Wisconsin (Oct. 10)
16. USC at Oregon, Nov. 7
17. Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame, Oct. 3 (Green Bay, Wis.)
18. USC at Utah, Oct. 2
19. Cincinnati at Nebraska, Sept. 26
20. Wisconsin at Iowa, Nov. 28
21. Louisville at Clemson, Sept. 12
22. Wisconsin at Michigan, Sept. 26
23. Oklahoma vs. Texas, Oct. 10 (Dallas)
24. Cincinnati at UCF, TBA
25. Baylor at Oklahoma, Oct. 3

Why would anyone be looking forward to Alabama v USC? That game will be over in the first quarter.

By God, they’re gonna find a way to squeeze Nebraska into a preseason top 25 one way or another.

This isn’t 2005 anymore. Why do they have 3 USC games on there? If they want To put PAC games, Oregon vs Washington makes more sense than a bunch of USC games.

I don't get how LSU vs Auburn isn't here, yet Auburn vs Georgia and Bama is...all three can win the West. List is trying to hard.

This is the case every year.

You know it will be either Auburn, Alabama or LSU going to Atlanta, just like it's been every year for the last 20 years (with the exception of the two times that Arkansas went and got embarrassed.)
