Doesn't look to me like too many schools have times yet. There are no times listed for week 2.
You can pretty much be assured that AZ St. vs. aTm is going to be a night game. It also wouldn't surprise me if Louisville V Auburn is a night game. It all depends on what TV wants.
I would about bet my house on OU at Tennessee will be a 8pm ABC/ESPN game. Game has got to go prime because that week no good matchups.
Oregon at Michigan State isn't a good matchup? That's already been announced as the 8pm ABC game. Tennessee will likely play at 4 or 8 on ESPN.
No idea on the opener. ESPN/SECN would have liked to move it to Sunday, but UT couldn't do that with Oklahoma coming the following weekend.
The OU game will be probably be a night game, likely on ESPN. ESPN2 has tennis coverage.
However, because CBS' game that week was actually purchased from ESPN, ESPN can schedule an afternoon SEC game against it. So that possibility is still out there.
ESPN is aiming to have the first three weeks of the SEC schedule announced by the end of the month, by SEC media days in July at the latest.

I don't think it can be a primetime ABC game like last year because of tv conference contracts (which conference the home team is in determines these).
Not to mention, ABC has already picked up Oregon v. Michigan State for it's 8 PM game that weekend. (Not to mention Notre Dame vs UVA was picked up by ABC as one of the 3:30pm ABC games, presuming they do a mirror channel that weekend.)
The game's also going to be up against LSU vs Mississippi State for as far as ESPN's SEC selections go.
But the only other noteworthy game (besides LSU/Miss St and Oregon/MSU) might be Oregon St v Michigan and that's it (which more than likely won't end up a night game just because it's at Ann Arbor).
