Your absolutely wrong. CBS gets to pick first and third. ESPN gets the second pick. They chose Bama/A&M first. ESPN chose lsu/ut second. CBS was left with UGA/Aub for their other choice.

No, I'm not.
CBS exercised its right to air one of its few double-headers for October 8th. In this case, CBS chooses BOTH of its games first, then ESPN chooses its next choice of SEC games. CBS chose A&M/Bama and AU/UGA for its double-header. That left ESPN to choose UT/LSU.
Television contracts prevent ESPN from airing a night game on its primary channel at the same time as the CBS game. ESPN had no choice but to air UT/LSU at the 12 noon/11am slot due to CBS' selections.

No they don't. CBS is the SEC's broadcast partner and has all first dibs. If they decided to air 3 games then CBS would pick the 3 and then it would go to ESPN's pick.
