..after seeing LSU the first two weeks?

If both teams hold serve, it’ll be another Top 4 matchup between LSU & Alabama, but with LSU having an actual offense.

No, ND is huge draw and even though it may not end up being the biggest game it's still guaranteed a huge rating.

It will give SEC fans a chance to cheer for Notre Dame.

No. A national primetime audience of Notre Dame fans/Catholics will be a massive ratings score.

So is there 0 chance Bama will be flexed to a night game?

LSU/Bama hasn’t been a competitive game recently. LSU hasn’t done its part imo

In 2011 CBS used their night game for something else, but when LSU and Bama were undefeated they sold their soul to ESPN to get that game at night (I think they gave up 2 "first picks" the following year plus a crap ton of cash).

If both teams are in the top 5 I'm sure CBS will do everything I can to make it happen.

If it turns out to be a top 4 matchup, you can bet your a$$ that CBS will find a way to air it at night in prime time.

It will give Paul Allen another reason to cream himself.

Is there any reason it cant be on ESPN at night? Does CBS get to choose both time slots that date?

I agree. If both are ranked in top 3 there is a 100% chance it will be at night

It will be the most watched game since 2011

Wait....LSU fans have said they don't want this game to be a CBS primetime game. They don't want it to be after an open date. They want it to be earlier in the schedule. The game is too big. Fans want to run from Bama because, gosh, it's too hard.

Now you want to run into the mouth of the dragon at primetime? LSU can't possibly do that. LSU fans have said so. We need to change the time of the game, the spot on the schedule, the open date. The fans know best.

Agreed. We need something different when it comes to this particular game. Especially with it being a road game.
