State and UK was a pretty good game and gave them an opportunity to feature two schools who haven't been on CBS very many times. It shouldn't be that difficult to grasp why it was on.

because ratings for LSU/OM dwarfed that of kentucky/state, and all networks care about is ratings

That's exactly the point isn't it? CBS doesn't care about featuring teams that haven't been on. They care about generating eyeballs. It was a good game, but you can't deny it was a head scratcher and it was difficult to grasp why they picked that game, hence everyone asking about it before and after it was picked.
That being said, it is worth mentioning again that CBS has a handshake agreement that it will not pick LSU at home for day games absent an overriding consideration.
