What two SEC games got picked before LSU-Tenn??

I think you are most likely correct. CBS had their 2 choices of any SEC games on the schedule, then ESPN choose the LSU/UT game with the 3rd pick. It has nothing to do with the weeks the games are played. I'm suspecting that Tenn. may have been the first 3 games picked due to the rivalry/war with Bama, the big game with Florida and then the possibility of both UT and LSU being undefeated.

 

You guys are forgetting a big one, Spurrier's return to the Swamp. Gamecocks and "Gamecrocs"

 

Ok, I see how some people get chapped because some may think this isn't a big game compared to others but really it works for us. There is nothing like a Saturday NIGHT in Tiger Stadium

 

True. It would be nice to finally get a prime time CBS telecast though. Maybe it will happen with Floriday. Any chance of pushing it from 2:30 to 7:00 kickoff on CBS?

 

No

 

I really wish it would have been a day game, only because I have to work at night. I think Saban annihilated the idea that we can't win during the day.
