ABC's Saturday Night Football has announced its schedule for the first three weeks of the 2018 college football season.
September 1: Louisville vs Alabama in Orlando
September 8: Penn State vs Pitt
September 15: TCU vs Ohio State in Arlington
There is also a special Sunday prime time game on September 2nd, with LSU playing Miami in Arlington.
Other games from those three weekends will be announced at a later date. Most games after September 15th will be announced 12 days in advance.
Texas plays USC in Austin on September 15th, a rematch of the dramatic overtime game in Los Angeles a year ago. This announcement means the 2018 game will probably be an afternoon game on ABC or a night game on Fox.
Texas opens the season on September 1st with a road game at Maryland. That is followed by the home opener on September 8th against Tulsa.
