There's a big chance that ESPN airs Ark @ Ole Miss at 11 am for week 6

No matter what happens in week 4, Arkansas and Ole amiss are still likely to be ranked going into their week 6 match up in Oxford.
If CBS does not pick up that game for 2:30, the geniuses at ESPN will get the game for their 11 am slot.
CBS is already locked in for a primetime game between Aggy and Alabama (boy, that looks like a dandy....), so, unless CBS doubles up, the Hogs and Rebel Black Bear Sharks will be in the early game.
Just imagine when ESPN gets full control of SEC television...

Jokes on them. I'm an early riser.

As a fan, I enjoy 11am games. I don't have to wait until 6pm to watch us kick someone's arse.
I can wake up, take a shite, tell my wife to make me some sandwiches, and then sit down and watch football all day.

Pretty fitting from a Hog fan’s perspective

I saw someone here post it, and a buddy of mine posited it to me the other day, that ESPN might start moving more and more big SEC games to the noon time slot to compete directly with FOX’s weekly noon Big Ten game.
In a way, it makes sense, as ESPN wants to dominate viewership throughout the day, and streaming makes it less likely that people will switch from the FOX streaming app to the ESPN app on their Roku/Fire stick/etc, as opposed to the old cable days when you could switch between FOX and ESPN as easily as ESPN and ESPN2. It’s all about keeping people on your app throughout the day.
That said, it does suck for the fans, especially if you are going to the game. The noon atmosphere is so subdued compared to a 3:30 or 7 o’clock atmosphere.

I prefer earlier games. Less stress built up. Night games I’m mentally drained after all day football and rant

I like to get my losses in early. Allows me to move on and enjoy the rest of the day.

Two big differences, though, SEC has always been a night league and Big 10 has always been a day/noon league. There's a reason for that. Daytime games in the South are blazing hot for a third of the season and night games are freezing arse cold in the Midwest for half the season.
It's also why most Big 10 stadiums have dogshit lights and most of the sec stadiums have decent to really good lighting.
ESPN yet again fricking up a good thing.

If asteroid hits earth and both Rebs and Hogs win this week easy decision 230 on 10-9 say Rebs win and Hogs play tough close loss to Dawgs then 230 possible

If the rebs beat Bama,
they absolutely will lose to Arkansas.

It’s because the 11 am game gets great ratings. and that’s why the big 10 does it. I think CBS is waiting to see if Auburn beats LSU. That game will decide it unless Ole Miss or Arkansas pull the upset.

it’s a good time slot. i wouldn’t want to be the road team for the early game two straight weeks though. that sucks.
