What order does FSN get to pick on the SEC media rights? I'm guessing that CBS still has first, ESPN gets second through (?) but I don't know how the SEC network or FSN fits into the equation.

1. CBS
2. ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU
3. SECnw (although because ESPN owns SECnw they can occasionally put a 2game on the SECnw to create demand for SECnw ... example: A&M-USC and Arky-Aub)
-in other words, there can be a lot of mixing up between 2 and 3 because it's all owned by ESPN

14 teams, max 7 SEC games per weekend in conference....1 game on CBS, 3 on ESPN family, 3 on SECnw

Tier 4 (aka what is left over, mostly branding and radio rights) - the schools themselves

The Fox Sports Network does not fit into the equation except for a few remaining coaching shows with some residual contract time remaining that must be honored.

Now, if the SEC program is on the road and, if the OOC opponent they are playing on the road is affiliated with the FSN ... then it is possible that a SEC teams ends-up on the FSN.
