Just read this and many others like it on tiger droppings:
"I would believe that they picked 11 am to protect Tennessee more than I’d believe that it was to spite Kelly.
Like it or not, conference image matters and the SEC needs to prop up at least a couple of teams like Tenn, Arky, Kentucky, and A&M to make it look like the conference is deep with 10 win programs. Obviously not all these teams will win 10 games but they will do their best to make sure at least a couple of them do.
The best way to try to influence these games outside of outright fixing it via officiating(which I only believe happens in the nfl), is to try to cancel out home field advantage for the opponents of their “better teams”.
I’m not saying I believe this theory to be true, just that it’s more believable than they SEC is out to get Coach Kelly."
