I mean I assume we get one but with how bad Arkansas and Tenn are I’m not sure. CBS already used their prime time game last night but is there any chance the LSU game could be worked to prime time? I want to see those LEDs in action for a top 3 matchup in November.

I saw on Twitter that since CBS used their allotted primetime spot for UGA/ND last night we'll probably play at 2 or 3.

The media is doing everything they can to make sure that Georgia supplants Alabama as the primere program in the SEC.

UGA lights looked nice. Too bad we keep getting screwed over and haven’t had a chance to show ours

I’m sure there’s still SOME way they could work something out and give us a night game against LSU

I hope and pray that Alabama improves enough every week and we get to play Georgia in the SECCG again. Beating them again will be even more sweet than it normally is. I'm beginning to hate them like I do Auburn, Tennessee and LSU.

No doubt but the whole "Georgia to take the torch from Bama" narrative has been discussed by talking heads ever since Kirby took the job there. Plus now the SEC and ESPN are screwing us by not giving us any night home games. It's pretty obvious what's going on.

If think that the Alabama/Tennessee game will probably be the night ESPN Fame game.

Ole Miss/LSU/Auburn probably locks for the 230 CBS game

Arkansas probably a night ESPN/SEC game

Nothing is going on. Bama is a blue blood and the media regularly backs Bama and loves doing it. Don’t play the victim.

I will be pissed if CBS chooses this as their 2:30 game. It's quite possible that Tennessee comes into the contest with a 1-6 record. I'm going to be in Alabama visiting some friends that weekend, so it would be nice to have that Saturday to hang out before sitting down to watch the Alabama game that evening.

Ole Miss being a 2:30 kickoff is already bad enough.

I got to believe if CBS knew, going into the season, that LSU would have their offense this straightened out and flying high it would have been a much tougher decision. Orgeron and the Bama beatdowns he's been getting since he got the job is the reason that CBS lost faith in the best SEC rivalry for the last 12 years.

2 weeks ago we have 6 SEC games at night. All competeting with one another. This past Saturday we had a lot of the SEC teams all bunched up on the noontime slot. ESPN will give us a few night games and frankly any game without that walking, talking, soap opera, Gary Danielson, is just fine with me.

I don't think they lost faith in the series, I just think the ND-UGA game was a much more intriguing game that would bring more eyeballs to the TV screen to watch it. Absent that game this year, I'd wager a bet they'd have still opted for the LSU-Bama game for their one night game this season.

Then CBS guessed wrong. Cause last season's game in BR was the most-viewed TV game of last season on their regular schedule. And last Saturday night did not surpass those numbers.

What I wonder is if the game was scheduled for BR again this season if CBS would have had the guts to pull the trigger and miss Saturday night in Bayou Land? I don't think so.

And this year's Alabama-LSU game will most likely be another Top 5 match-up.
