Why is CBS Televising Tennessee/ Alabama This Weekend?

My other problem with CBS is that because they have locked themselves into carrying certain games every year. They've created a virtual monopoly for certain schools to remain national brands.

Bama/ LSU
UGA / Florida
Bama/ Auburn
Bama/ TN
UGA/ Auburn
Bama @ crappy SEC East school.

Are you old enough to remember when there were only one or two games on at all nationwide every week? We were lucky if maybe 4-5 SEC games made it on at all.....all year. It was basically the same games every stinking year. The Third Saturday in October was one of them. Nebraska-Oklahoma, Texas-Oklahoma, USC-Norte Dame, Michigan-Ohio State, Alabama-UT were on EVERY year. You could count on most other games featuring at least one of those teams or maybe Penn State. It was a BIG deal back then if you weren't one of the chosen few if you made it on TV.

Back in the 70's Okie Neb and the ND USC games were the best games of the year.
