re: Why is CBS putting a 21.5-point game in their 2:30 window

Bama is a national draw with a high ranking who played in the highest profile game of the year last weekend. The other two teams are less of a draw and are unranked. Therefore, more viewers will likely tune into a Bama blowout over a close LSU/South Carolina or Auburn/Ole Miss game under the circumstances. Money in other words.
