I thought CBS had the first pick of games for the SEC at the 2:30 time slot, and then the next choice went to ESPN. But SC is playing Auburn at 2:30 and Bama is playing UF at 8 on CBS.
Can anyone clarify this for me? TIA.

It is called a "double-header".
CBS does this once a year and broadcasts what is called a "night game" which they have first pick of for the weekend. Their 2:30 spot is filled by another match up that they select.

I think once a year CBS gets a doubleheader where they get first two choices, but I could be wrong.

Yup, doubleheader.
CBS did it last year with LSU-Tennessee and then Bama-Florida at night.

One more wrinkle, when CBS does the double header with the primetime game, no other SEC game can kick off after 11:30 in the morning. It's in the contract to keep the exclusive SEC windows on CBS for those 2 games...

Why can't LSU fans figure this shite out?
