The SEC on CBS isn’t messing around with the start of its college football coverage in 2013. The network announced that it will kick off their 2013 schedule with Texas A&M hosting Alabama on September 14th, with the game kicking off at 3:30 p.m. ET. It’s a rematch of last year’s epic tilt in Tuscaloosa, where Johnny Manziel handed the national champions their lone loss of the 2012 season.

Additionally, CBS is keeping the LSU-Arkansas game on Black Friday. The Tigers and Razorbacks will continue to play their rivalry game the Friday after Thanksgiving, at its traditional 1:30 p.m. CT slot.
The only other SEC football game to be scheduled is the traditional World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Florida and Georgia will play in Jacksonville on November 2nd with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.
Also scheduled are two doubleheaders on October 19th and November 9th, with game matchups not yet announced. October 19th features promising contests like Arkansas-Alabama, Florida-Missouri, Georgia-Vanderbilt, and South Carolina-Tennessee for CBS to choose from, while November 9th matches up Arkansas-Ole Miss, Vanderbilt-Florida and the usually titanic matchup between LSU and Alabama that you can probably pencil in for the night slot once again.
