Is there still a clause in the SEC/CBS TV contract that a team cannot be aired more than 5-games during the regular season on CBS?

I remember back in 2014 when State and Ole Miss had that "great" season that CBS had to choose the Egg Bowl matchup over the Iron Bowl because CBS had already aired Bama five times during the regular season and could not be televised six times due to a clause in the TV contract w/ the SEC.

State with one loss was #4 and Ole Miss was #18 with three losses and Bama was #1 with one loss and Auburn was #15 with three losses.

CBS chose LSU/Ole Miss this year in order to be able to choose the Iron Bowl at the end of the year. That's most likely their objective. They want Bama @ LSU or @ Ole Miss to be their 4th game.

BAMA on CBS this year:
1. Arkansas
2. A&M
3. Tennessee
4. *(either Ole Miss @ Oxford; or LSU in Baton Rouge)
5. *(most likely Iron Bowl)
