After a bye week on Saturday, Vanderbilt football will return to action against Ole Miss on October 8 at Vanderbilt Stadium. Per today’s release from the SEC, the game will kick off at 3:00 PM CT on the SEC Network.
The 3 PM SEC Network timeslot is, in the recent paradigm, where games go to die up against the 2:30 PM CBS game (CBS’ contract with the SEC forbids ESPN from broadcasting games opposite the CBS game), and this also happens to be the weekend of the day-night doubleheader on CBS. The big network picks up Auburn-Georgia at 2:30 PM CT, and then also will televise Texas A&M-Alabama at 7:00 PM CT.
