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 1 - CBS
Tier 2 and 3 - ESPN (so ESPN1 all the way down to SEC Network in the same tier)
Tier 4 (aka what is left over, mostly branding and radio rights) - the schools themselves

Is the SEC the only major conference to not have ESPN own their first tier rights?

The terms of the deal are expected to remain intact ($55 million per year until 2023-24), with CBS lifting the exclusive 3:30 p.m. broadcast window so the SEC can air football games on its ESPN-operated channel on Saturdays.
CBS owned exclusive rights to the prime broadcast spot for its “SEC on CBS” game of the week. CBS still picks the top SEC game each week and owns rights to the league championship game in Atlanta.

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.

Yup, it is a SEC competitive advantage.

Hasn't there been an SEC game on FSN every week? Next week Ole Miss is home and playing on FSN. I thought there was a deal where FSN could pick too but it was optional.
