When it comes to Southeastern Conference football this season, CBS may stand for Come Back to the Swamp.

The primary network for SEC football is expecting to open this year’s coverage Sept. 19 with Florida hosting Tennessee, with the official announcement scheduled for this summer. CBS also has targeted Urban Meyer’s Gators for Oct. 10 against LSU, Oct. 31 against Georgia, and Nov. 28 against Florida State.
CBS actually has agreed to televise the next 15 Georgia-Florida games.
“They don’t want to play it at night, and we just wouldn’t pass on it,” Aresco said. “That game is too prominent a game in the SEC, so we’re going to be doing it each year.”

CBS has two doubleheaders and will use them Oct. 10 and Nov. 14. The network gets the first two picks Oct. 10 — Aresco labels the Florida-LSU game a “99 percenter” for prime time — and has the first and third or fourth pick Nov. 14.
One change already announced by CBS is moving the Alabama-Auburn game to Friday the next two seasons, thus bumping LSU-Arkansas back to Saturday.

So where will Georgia and Tennessee, two teams Florida thumped by a combined 79-16 last year, fit in the CBS schedule?
New Vols coach Lane Kiffin provided a jolt in early February when he accused Meyer of illegal recruiting tactics, which was followed by a reprimand from the league office. Florida is using Kiffin’s charge as motivation for a matchup CBS has shown every year for 13 years.
“You have a built-in storyline for our potential opener and the ability for some real fireworks,” Aresco said. “A controversy like that definitely wears out at some point, but it will obviously be on everyone’s mind when they visit Florida.”

I think that FOX should televise college games during the season and not just for the Bowl Games.

You mean like every other network that covers football that also goes to a commercial after each change of possession?

Verne is my fav announcer. OK yeah he even gets the names of TEAMS mixed up occasionally but I love to hear him. Especially with Blackledge but Danielson is good too.
