Take it one step further; they just announced that the Ole Miss-Miss. St. game would be played in the afternoon, with the Bama-Auburn game to be played that night (usually the other way around, right?). Why would they do that?

Here's why: After Bama beats Miss. St. both have one loss going into the above mentioned games.
Ole Miss beats Miss. St., meaning that the winner of the late game (Alabama-Auburn) goes to Atlanta.

Again, who is "they"? Are you saying that CBS decided to throw ESPN a bone here out of the goodness of their heart? Is that what you are saying? Are you saying the SEC forced CBS to do this? Please explain for the non-tinfoil hat wearers out here.

I read somewhere that a SEC team can only be on CBS 5 times each year. This Saturday would be 5 for Bama.

ETA: This is where i read it.

quote:

Current rules between the network and the SEC limit the CBS to five selections of an individual school per season, according to Hugh Kellenberger of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, and Saturday’s game against Mississippi State will be Alabama’s fifth this season (Florida, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and LSU).


Sorry this derails your conspiracy theory.
