Damn Aggies! You guys want to play OM twice in 2 weeks? You must love the grove. Oh, then later that night you take on Auburn. Well that's understandable. Get them both in the same week.

LSU @ Bama
Florida @ LSU
There's only two right? I'd imagine
another possibility is UF @ USCe or Bama @ A&ME.

Copy/paste job from--if I recall--CBSSports.

I'm not sure that CBS games kick in that early. Don't they usually start in week 4 or something like that?
Florida/Tennessee used to always be the first CBS game because CBS is still doing tennis in the first few weeks of the season.
I'm pretty sure last year is the first time in a long time that Florida/Tennessee wasn't the first CBS game of the season. It was Bama/Arkansas last year in Week 3.

Clearly the SEC offices are in Gainesville if they get Mizzou twice.

If they wait for another game later in the season it might backfire. This is a sure thing.
If I'm CBS I'm looking squarely at Oct. 12 Florida at LSU.....both potential undefeated teams could be a matchup between top 3-4 ranked teams (especially with LSU having a road win over UGA).
Although I get what you are saying it is also real hard to pass up aTm - Bama....although that is real early. I'm thinking they bite the bullet and take aTm - Bama as a 2:30 prime slot game and then wait for potential matchups later in the season, but I could be wrong.

That's quite the assumption.

Lets call it an "if" at this point. Obviously if anyone loses then any primetime CBS game involving that team is probably a moot point, becasue as far as I know no one has any predetermined arrangements like LSU and Bama had last year.

South Carolina-Florida. I don't think they'll want to do LSU-Bama again because national ratings will suffer some. ATM-Bama, USC-UGA and UGA-LSU are too early in the season. UGA-UF has to be a day game, I would think.

Timing looks like it would be LSU UF if both hold up early

I don't see CBS passing on a sure thing (from a rating standpoint) like an early season A&M-Bama matchup. It will be their first game of the year, and what better way to kick off their SEC coverage than with the most-hyped game of the year. From there, you're likely to see a whole lot of whichever of those two teams wins that game.
If you pass on Bama-A&M, you are taking a chance on their being a bigger matchup later in the season, or that a lesser matchup will still draw the primetime ratings that a matchup of unbeatens would. I think there is just too much uncertainty for CBS to pass on the chance to showcase what might be the biggest game in the SEC in hopes of having something better later in the year.

The lsu alabama game outrated the alabama texas am game by a large margin last year. I see it doing the same this year.

It will be the 3:30 CBS for many, many years to come. It always was, then in 2002 ESPN got involved, smooth talked CBS into paying big bucks to make it the 7:45 night game. Suffice to say that was the last time in a while that game will be at night.

That might be true. Somebody refresh my memory. How many times did Florida and Tennessee play in primetime in the '90s? That rivalry was unquestionably the #1 SEC rivalry in the '90s and they always played in mid-September. Did they usually play in the afternoon or were there a few primetime games on CBS?
