I still wish this game would be a 3:30 or so start time. Night games are more fun, but I want ND to wither away in the southern heat.

Tarzan kneehigh and whiznot are all equally boring.

DGD, I am almost ready to declare the following statements as an official explanation for the very few SEC OOC games to ever be broadcast by cbs. Hear me out...
-the long running cbs 3:30 sec contract does not begin until week 2 or 3 (because of tennis history)
-once it begins cbs has exclusive rights to any sec vs sec game it wants.
-HOWEVER!!!!
-during the one double-header option per season, cbs may select ONE game that is sec vs an out of conference opponent
-think about it!!!!
Your thoughts?
I hate typing on phone so haven't been able to really dive in until right now. To your overall question above Jeff, I think it's a lot more simple than we're believing...fact is that there simply aren't many SEC vs OOC games during the season taht would merit being the best game of the day, until you get to the regular season finale. During the cupake type games midseason there is going to be a SEC/SEC game better of course. And for early season as you mentioned CBS doesn't always start week 1 (for instance, in 2014 when we hosted Clemson CBS was not airing cfb that week).

This is not entirely correct. The "SEC vs SEC" thing is wrong. This is a pretty basic premise here; each conference has a network contract that airs their home games, simple as that. SEC has CBS, Notre Dame has NBC, ACC has ABC, etc. If a game is played at an SEC home venue, it's CBS's thing. All SEC home games that wekeend will be on some combo of CBS/ESPN family/SECN. Those are the only options.

going back to the point above, the opponent's conference has nothing to do with this.

Pretty sure CBS has had golf on the opening CFB weekend until the last year or two.

and now ESPN has the US (Tennis) Open.

not sure why CBS waits until 9/14 Bama at SCU to start coverage.

More discrepancies....
I'll help you.

A&M UCLA on cbs was at UCLA. Aggies were the visitors.
They played a home and home. When they played at A&M, it was on CBS. When they played at UCLA, it was on Fox.
quote:
Looking more like cbs has separate deals with separate rules for opening weekend than the 3:30 contract.
If the SEC team is the designated home team for a neutral site game or they're hosting a non-conference opponent, CBS gets the rights to the game if they want to.

I’m searching but I still haven’t found a recent COFH game on cbs
2008 was the most recent one.

Week 1 on the SEC Network is a bit of a disappointment

I wouldn't call it disappointing necessarily, it's not like the old jefferson pilot days, it's still HD for those viewing at home. There's also the 3 SEC games in kickoff classic type of deals so only so many channels to go around, frankly I'm just glad it's at night and not noon. The channel is kind of irrelevant, IMO.

It's still a national channel. There are very few regionally televised games in 2019. Almost everything is national.
