Has any SEC team ever had three CBS 2:30 games in a row?

Only one I could imagine is Bama at some point in the last 10 years.

LSU/Bama will be LSU's third 2:30 CBS game in a row.

Doesn’t technically count because of the bye week.

2:30 is a good time for college football. 11am is the only dumb time.

Pretty brutal. Their production sucks, Danielson's analysis is overridden by his annoying voice and sucking off of star players, and the the games begin with a patronizing bro-country song aimed at the Bama country audience. Also the games are 4+ hours long.

The only thing wrong with 2:30 is Gary.. and the fact that it's not night..

11am should be outlawed... damn sham


Edit... also CBS has 50 10 minute commercial breaks...

As should Bama's schedule. That's the whole reason for it. To get the sorry games over with.

Sorry let me rephrase.

CBS can’t pull the same team into the 2:30 time slot three times in a row. But because there’s a bye week in between LSU-Auburn and LSU-Bama, that rule doesn’t apply here.

So to answer your original question, the only time that happens currently is if there’s a bye week in between somewhere. Not sure how long that rule has been in place though.

2016 Tennessee had four in a row. Maybe I misunderstood the rule about three consecutive 2:30 games, or maybe it was implemented after that season.. not sure.

Either way, there’s your answer.

You do realize two out of those three games are away games for LSU?

I'm pretty sure Georgia had 3 or 4 in a row in 18 or 17.
