The game is not officially at 3:30, and it's not 80% either. Vols_are_champs is pulling things out of thin air. Has it historically been at 3:30? Yes. Will it? It's not public yet.

I think CBS released a statement a while back saying it was likely they would have the UT/Florida game at 3:30

A couple of months ago CBS official statement was that the game was tentatively set for 3:30 EST kick off.

So not out of the realm of possibility that the time could change... but not necessarily likely either.

CBS has a 8 o clock slot, as well as espn having 2 night game slots. The possibility of it being a night game still is very likely.

espn would never take the game since they don't want to show a UT win over UF. It's all a conspiracy man :alien:

If we beat UF and Auburn and UGA takes care of business we will get the primetime slot on CBS.

That's interesting. I've seen some analysts have Florida and LSU top 5, Auburn top 10, and Tennessee top 15 in their 2009 rankings. If that's the case, do you still think CBS would pass up a potential top 10 matchup for a #3 vs #15 (for example)?

Well, the CBS memo to it's affiliates from from about a month ago lists CBS's current choice as our game...
SUBSTITUTE GAMES MAY BE INTRODUCED AS POSSIBLE SELECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.

ADDITIONAL MATCH-UPS MAY BE ADDED TO THE SCHEDULE AND SOME MAY BE REMOVED AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES; HOWEVER, THE CURRENT WINDOWS ARE NOT LIKELY TO CHANGE.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT CBS SPORTS HAS THE OPTION TO SELECT THE BEST MATCH-UPS UP TO SIX DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE AIRDATE.

You'll note that the memo rightly points out that CBS can change it's mind up to six days prior to gameday.

But CBS executive Mike Aresco said this about this, back in April...
Returning Heisman Trophy quarterback Tim Tebow helps make Florida attractive to viewers, but Aresco doesn’t believe Tennessee will get lost in the shuffle as a result.

“Tennessee’s schedule late in the season historically isn’t as strong, but last year we picked Tennessee-Kentucky, which is a game we normally don’t do,” he said. “They played for the SEC East that day and won it, so you just never know.”

Aresco said everything is speculative at this point, but he believes the Vols will be on CBS against Florida (Sept. 20), Auburn (Sept. 27) and Georgia (Oct. 11).

“CBS has never not done the Tennessee-Florida
game, so that’s usually a pretty good indication,” he said. “The Tennessee-Auburn game is likely, because ESPN has the Alabama-Georgia game as one of their priority picks, so we won’t have that one.”

You make a good point, But I really think CBS is locked in on UT/UF that weekend.

I might as well re post that April interview with Mike Aresco... just as an FYI...

Times Free Press..
Whether Georgia can live up to lofty expectations this football season won’t be known for months, but the preseason hype is having an effect on exposure.

CBS, the primary network for Southeastern Conference broadcasts since 1996, could televise half of Georgia’s 12 regular-season games. The Bulldogs were on CBS three times last season and only twice in 2006.

“Georgia is a powerhouse right now, and they were at the end of last year with the way they displayed it in their bowl game,” said Mike Aresco, the network’s senior vice president of programming. “They will be highly ranked along with LSU and Florida — I don’t know where Tennessee will be ranked — but when you have teams that are going to be ranked that highly, you always go with those teams first.”

Aresco said quarterback Matthew Stafford and tailback Knowshon Moreno are exciting players who give the Bulldogs national appeal. CBS televised the Bulldogs 18 times from 2002 through ’04, when quarterback David Greene and defensive end David Pollack were the recognizable names.

Returning Heisman Trophy quarterback Tim Tebow helps make Florida attractive to viewers, but Aresco doesn’t believe Tennessee will get lost in the shuffle as a result.

“Tennessee’s schedule late in the season historically isn’t as strong, but last year we picked Tennessee-Kentucky, which is a game we normally don’t do,” he said. “They played for the SEC East that day and won it, so you just never know.”

Aresco said everything is speculative at this point, but he believes the Vols will be on CBS against Florida (Sept. 20), Auburn (Sept. 27) and Georgia (Oct. 11).

“CBS has never not done the Tennessee-Florida
game, so that’s usually a pretty good indication,” he said. “The Tennessee-Auburn game is likely, because ESPN has the Alabama-Georgia game as one of their priority picks, so we won’t have that one.”

Aresco said CBS likely will open its coverage schedule Sept. 13 with Georgia’s trip to South Carolina. The Bulldogs also could be on the network against Tennessee, LSU (Oct. 25), Florida (Nov. 1), Auburn (Nov. 15) and Georgia Tech (Nov. 29).

The Tennessee-Georgia game will be part of a 3:30 and 8 p.m. doubleheader with LSU-Florida, but it has not been determined which game gets which time slot. CBS has a noon and 3:30 doubleheader on Nov. 29 that likely will be the Alabama-Auburn and Georgia-Georgia Tech games.
