Since when?
Looks like whomever said five games was right.
WLOCP might be exempt from this rule, but I know it's why the Iron Bowl '14 wasn't on CBS, since the network went hog wild on Bama coverage earlier in the year.

Selections are made a couple of weeks in advance and there is a contractual limit to the amount of times one school can appear on any network. That number has correctly been reported as five TV appearances, though there is clearly some flexibility in the contact because CBS aired Florida six times in 2009. When Alabama played Mississippi State on Nov. 15, it was the school’s fifth time (Florida, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, LSU and Mississippi State) appearing on CBS in 2014.
"Our agreement includes certain appearance parameters," said CBS Sports president David Berson, who declined to get into the specifics of those parameters.

Cool, appreciate the follow-up Vox.
My guess is those "parameters" start with an M and rhyme with honey

I believe it is.I know it was specifically written into the contract renewal that it would be the CBS 3:30 game for the duration of the renewal.

I said 5 games in the thread on the SECRant but I was counting the SECCG. Assuming with the SECCG you can appear at least 6 times... Good find...
