So the CBS agenda is to promote Bama and lose money?

You really shouldn't argue this because you obviously don't know what you're talking about.
And I can tell by your posts your level of knowledge as well.

Next week, they have tentatively set the Bama/Ole Miss game over Arky/AU...you tell me.

Right now I know these teams have or will for sure play on CBS this season:
Bama
UF
AU
Ark
USC
LSU
UT
I doubt Vanderbilt or MSU makes it on but somewhere along the way I feel confident UGA and probably Ole Miss or Kentucky will be on so that means at most three SEC teams will maybe not make it on CBS. You actually think the fines they will have to pay to those three teams (which you say are hefty) will be more than the benefit of showing games that will have much higher ratings?

No, not at all. But signing these contracts with the SEC are pointless if that is their model. They should revamp them to at least make it obvious that they will show SEC games but only certain teams.

Don't take this a flame but your argument is illogical. CBS doesn't give a rip about anything but money. They are going to show the game that generates the highest rating which in turn makes them the most money. That's it.

So that's what this is all about. You're upset because there's a good chance AU won't get the CBS game. At least you know you'll get one this year, against Bama.

Then why did you start a thread complaining about it? Besides, I thought you said you were leaving because there were too many Bama fans on here.

I am not a fan of media bias and agendas. If CBS wants to show only a few teams, then stop promoting themselves as the "Home of SEC football". They can do whatever they want, just dont be fake about it.
At least with ESPN, they have enough channels to show all the teams, per their contracts.

Alabama is the face of the SEC right now. They're going to broadcast the game that brings in the most revenue. Bama games bring in the most revenue. It's not hard to figure out.

Yep! unless OSU and Michigan are playing on Friday, it won't have any impact on the IB whatsoever.

As a fan of one of those "other" teams, I hate the CBS suckfest as much as you do. For all the criticism of ESPN, their broadcasters seem to be genuine college football fans. And they know they are broadcasting to genuine college football fans. CBS, not so much.
CBS would rather be doing NFL games -- where the real money is. They hype their broadcasts to appeal to non-fans because they are non-fans; hence, the focus on big-name teams and celebrities. And the only thing more annoying than the endless commercials and celebrity cock-sucking is the reference to NFL rules (since viewers have apparently never actually watched a college game): "In college, pass interference is a 15-yard penalty." "Under the college rules the ball is downed where the ball ends up, not where the player ends up." "The college football overtime rules are . . . " "In college football, every play is reviewed in the booth."

Is this like the 19th time Gameday has been to a Alabama game this year?
