Regarding CBS picks and MSU Alabama game

[wtw2400]

I know CBS gets the first pick at 2:30 but do they also get the 2nd pick at 11:00 since they have a double header? With Auburn and Georgia losing that game is reduced to nothing so CBS won't get that game. Florida is about to clinch the east with their win against hapless Vanderbilt so they won't show hapless South Carolina playing Florida. So that leaves Arkansas at LSU and Alabama at Mississippi State. Arkansas isn't going to be ranked which leaves Bama and MSU as the only ranked matchup. Which leads me to believe that is where this game is headed but I could also see LSU and Arkansas getting it. So if that happens does CBS get 2nd pick and we are on 11:00 or does ESPN get it so we are on prime time? We haven't been on CBS this entire year so no 6 game limit on us. And with the Egg Bowl and FSU-UF game looking better than Auburn most likely not going to a bowl, I'd be surprised if CBS got the iron bowl unless Auburn makes some sort of comeback.

For that DH, CBS gets picks 1 and 4. We are either 2:30 or primetime on ESPN.

We'll be on ESPN. Essentially it boils down to whether CBS wants the Iron Bowl over Bama-MSU, which is an absolute no brainer in terms of ratings. It may not be a better game, but there will still be a ton more viewers for the Iron Bowl than Bama-MSU, the Egg Bowl, or UF-FSU.

Yeah. We're headed for 6 ESPN kickoff.

I would bet CBS takes 6 day hold today

Waits to see who wins Bama vs. LSU......... If they take Arky vs LSU that would be 3 straight weeks of LSU (Bama, Arky, OM), with outside chance CBS takes the LSU vs aTm game.
