I suspect that whatever it is, the reason it isn't football (other than one Saturday night each year)is a contractual provision in the SEC's deal with ABC/ESPN (similar to the one in the deal with CBS) that precludes SEC teams from appearing on other networks opposite games being broadcast by ESPN/ABC.
Since CBS can't get the primetime game, they have the first pick. Just hope that the next negotiations that CBS can get baseball or basketball and will drop SEC college football. Otherwise it will be day games at tiger stadium.

I'd be willing to bet CBS doesn't want primetime games every week. I'd bet that whatever they put on TV has higher ratings than college football would.
