It's hard to imagine CBS would pass again on making that a prime-time game.

First, there's no marquee OOC matchup such as UGA/ND last season (unless CBS would somehow get the rights to LSU/Texas). Now, CBS could (and probably will) use one of their double-header spots on UGA @ Alabama, but they would still have one more.

I think most LSU fans would admit that prior to last season LSU/Bama has lost some of it's luster simply because it had become so one-sided. That's not the case any longer. Plus, it was the highest rated reg season game of last year. Combine that with the fact the CBS is coming to the end of it's time broadcasting the game of the week, and I can't imagine they wouldn't want to squeeze the last bit of juice out of their contract. Promising advertisers the chance to run commercials on what will likely be one of, if not the most watched game of the season is a good way to generate extra revenue.
