I think it all depends on UF v Auburn the week before.. If UF wins, I don't see CBS giving up that matchup

Then cbs chooses their darlings of Alabama and jimbo Fisher
If they have a "darling," it's because that darling puts more eyeballs on the screen.
Surely you know how this all works, right?

As I recall, the way the contract works is that they normally have to decide which game to take 12 days ahead of time. I believe, however, that once per year they can exercise a "short window" option and defer their selection until 5 days ahead of time. In order for our game with Florida to be at night, I think CBS would have to choose to exercise that option and then ALSO the Gators would have to lose to Auburn.

Tv schedules are set the 13 days before each game with the exception of I believe 2 6 day options if they want to see how some games play out a little closer to the game in question. So yes they do regularly pick time slots for games multiple weeks out.

This is correct except it 12 & 5 days out.

Add another SEC so we can rotate through them faster too.

Texas A&M will be a night game. Same day as Bama/Auburn which will be 2:30pm.
What's to stop Gump HQ from sticking us with another 11:00 AM kickoff?

I think it'll depend on what Florida does against Auburn. I'm sure CBS is itching to go see Bama-A&M even though the Ags haven't looked great. If UF loses to Auburn (which is what I see happening), I think we get an espn night game.

It's still up in the air. 2:30 seems likely, but what if both Florida and (heaven forbid) LSU lose on October 5th? What happens then?
