CBS tabs Georgia football for two prime time games

Georgia football’s 2020 schedule is coming into place with two CBS prime time games against Florida and Alabama.

CBS has tabbed the Georgia Bulldogs for two prime time games throughout the 2020 college football season. University of Georgia fans will hope the Dawgs will play in a third (Dec. 19 SEC Championship Game).

Georgia’s two prime time games are: Georgia at Alabama on Oct. 17 and Georgia versus Florida on Nov. 7. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs travel to Alabama for what is slated to be CBS’s prime time night game of the season with an 8 pm kickoff. Georgia faces Florida at the usual 3:30 pm time slot.

Georgia already knows its SEC-only schedule for the 2020 season. That being said, the Bulldogs don’t know the kickoff times for their remaining slate of contests.

The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party will have a different feel this year. Although it will be at the normal kickoff time the lack of fans and tailgating will be disappointing for many Bulldog and Gator die-hard fans.

Despite the circumstances, from a fans’ prospective, some college football is better than no college football. Here’s a look at the full schedule of prime time SEC games this season:
