Maybe rather than it being because of the rivalry....maybe it's because of the contract the SEC has with CBS? I haven't done any research but it's just a thought. Two pretty big fan bases that are bound to draw viewership regardless of the situation. Plus these two teams are nationally recognized.....just like Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, etc.

No one has mentioned the most important thing here:

Consistent 3:30 kicks announced well in advance allow folks to make their party plans in Talleyrand and the surrounding islands consistent. Know what fricks up a party? A 7pm kick on espn. 3:30 is perfect for this game in and around the stadium and cbs knows it. Wouldn't be surprised if Jacksonville has some money involved in steering them that way either
