More on Early Season Kickoffs

Tony Barnhart has the full SEC schedule for Weeks 1-3 in the AJC. I'm especially interested in the South Florida at Auburn (9:00 pm EST in Week 2) game.

USF has beaten West Virginia and Louisville in the past two years. Granted, this game isn't in Tampa, but Auburn is good for about one sleep walk against a lesser rated foe per year. Ideally, this would've started at 11:30 CST so that Tuberville's boys could've slept through the first half. But it's still one to watch.

USF beat West Virginia in Morgantown last year, so you never know. Don't see it happening on the plains in prime time, though.

I don't see how ESPN sees Kansas State-Auburn as a more attractive game than UGA-Oklahoma State.

My theories on the AU vs. KSU being priortized over ours.

1. KSU isn't getting a return trip from AU. ESPN brokered the deal. Maybe they demanded ESPN instead of ESPN2 to do the deal.

2. We went 9-4 last year. AU had a better record.

Regardless, I think ours will be the more compelling game.

I think it has more to do with Aubie being in the Central Time Zone.
