Why did CBS select A&M/Bama over LSU/Florida?

I don't want this thread to devolve into baseless insults. I want to say right up front: It's way better to have a night game on your home field than an afternoon game. I congratulate you, Tigers and Gators!
I am curious as to WHY CBS would choose the A&M/Bama game over the LSU/Florida game. Bama just recently lost to Ole Miss, and they are playing on the road against maybe the third best team in Texas. LSU, on the other hand, is undefeated, with the Heisman frontrunner, in the middle of an unprecedented strin of 200+ yard games, and they get a perennial power like Florida, who is also undefeated, in Baton Rouge.
And yet, for all that, CBS choose to air the A&M/Bama game. My question is simple...why?

GameDay at the new Kyle Field would be my guess.

Is this another attempt at finding a moral victory by A&M fans? Just another day at the office.

It will be the only time CBS is at A&M this year to see the renovated stadium.

Probably because CBS has already broadcast Florida. IIRC, there's a limit to the number of times a single team can be featured by CBS.

Bama on the upswing after demolishing UGA. A&M undefeated but has yet to play anyone the quality of Bama.
Jury still out on UF? LSU?? Undefeated but an not the hot flavor this week.

Two top ten teams, one of them is the premier program in the conference.
Also, everyone knows LSU no likey day games.
When LSU plays Bama, it will be in primetime as usual.

Alabama currently has arguably the biggest fanbase in America, so any chance they can put a big game with Alabama involved in the spotlight, they will do just that.
It would be the same way as any other undefeated team vs Bama. Bama's championship aspirations are on the line with another loss, so the entire southeast footprint will have their eyes on that game.
It makes plenty of sense that CBS chose this one, and no one is complaining. You're trying to make this something that it isn't

They'll have lots of chances to cover Florida and LSU in the future, this might be the only chance they get to go to College Station this year.

They've been to Tiger Stadium this year already, and this is A&M's most interesting home game.

Good God man, just drop it...
All parties involved got what they wanted.

Because Alabama beat the crap out of Georgia and Verne and Garry love some bama and bama is probably the best team and want them on primetime and yall are undefeated but mostly because of bama.

Better question, how many more threads are you going to make about this same subject?

Bama is fricking why. A&M is just the side note.
