game every year before the season even starts so far in advance?
Makes no sense that games is the CBS game this year.
Curious why they go ahead and pick that game every year before the year...especially since Florida has been a dumpster fire.

Ratings. It's a ratings game even in down years.

Dude. SEC much?
WLOCP is one of the handful of traditional huge games every year. DSOR, TSIO, IB, WLOCP and I guess now the fricking "Egg Bowl".
CBS hand picks those games every year because they are critical to who wins the SEC Championship.

Why don't you email or better yet call CBS?

You should recognize dumpster fires.

Do you even WLOCP, bro?

Because it's the best rivalry in the SEC?

It's a good game and a great rivalry even if you're not a fan of either team unlike TSIO or the Egg Bowl.

Hasn't it been on CBS every season since the early 1980s?

1) One of the SEC's truly great rivalries. Probably the most hateful on-field rivalry.
2) Consistently two of the better teams in the conference.
3) The biggest game that weekend more often than not.
4) Two of the biggest markets in the conference.
5) National appeal.
6) Uniqueness of the neutral site rivalry.
etc.

Because it's The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
One of the best rivalries in all of college football

I understand. You are Ole Miss.
It's been so long for y'all since a mid-season rivalry has meant so much...
I know, y'all just got your "once every 8 or 12 year win" over Bama, and UF had taken control of this series.
But MOST YEARS, this game is for something, and EVERY YEAR, this game is compelling and attracts a national audience.
Who knows, if the Black Bears can stay competitive for five years or so, they MIGHT have a mid-season rivalry that CBS demands.
Maybe Arkansas? or LSU, if you can start winning that one more often...

Also the 2 most important SEC schools. DWI.

Maybe rather than it being because of the rivalry....maybe it's because of the contract the SEC has with CBS? I haven't done any research but it's just a thought. Two pretty big fan bases that are bound to draw viewership regardless of the situation. Plus these two teams are nationally recognized.....just like Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, etc.

Because they know UGA is always capable of shitting in the bed against any Florida team. 
They want it first hand when it goes down

Ratings, Tradition, HATE between the teams

Because LSU won't play a day game in Tiger Stadium this year

It's ALWAYS the CBS game of the week.
Now, I do wish it was later than the 3:30 time it's been.
