Georgia starting at 10:10?

When I first moved to the west coast, I used to hate how early everthing started. Especially NFL games. But that was back when I drank a lot and getting out of bed sucked arse. Now I’m the complete opposite. I get to sleep at a reasonable hour and never miss any game because it starts too late

Why the hell don't they schedule times for the 2nd round in advance? People are gonna watch regardless of who it is.
This is simply not true. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.
Much longer heads up for the NFL playoffs obviously, but they do the same thing for the same reasons.

Honestly the 2nd round scheduling is even worst. Why are there only two games on in the early/mid afternoon window ?!

I presume it has something to do with CBS wants the traditional powers. I noticed Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina are almost always on CBS. And the non traditional powers usually get relegated to the other channels.

Even when the games were exclusively on CBS a long time ago, some games still didn't start until 9:30 CST or later. Thank God I don't work early mornings. Or in Eastern Time Zone.

Because of the contract. CBS gets an exclusive window on Saturday and Sunday.

I imagine CBS wants a gap between games in case one game runs long or goes to OT. But it should probably be shortened though.
