Nope, look it up FSU/Miami on 8 pm. It's espn ABC. I also believe our game at Oklahoma was on ABC at 830 pm. And I could be wrong but Clemson and Louisville was on ABC Saturday night. Most likely OSU and Wisconsin will get the 8 slot though.

When was the last time you saw an SEC vs. SEC game on ABC? It won't happen.

Everyone expecting this to be the biggest game of the year at this point so there are probably negotiations being done behind the scenes.

SEC teams cannot have home games carried on ABC. ESPN yes, ABC no.

The only time the SEC can play on ABC is if they are playing away at say Oklahoma or if they are playing a neutral site game.

Look at the other SEC options for that day. Seeing as they select today...do you see ANYTHING else that would get close to the ratings of UT/Bama? I think 3;30 is a lock

You're probably right, especially if us and Ala both win. Hard for CBS to pass on this rivalry and we would move up atleast a few spots if we somehow win at A'M so it would be a top 6 or 7 matchup. Hate to watch 4 straight CBS games which is why I thought CBS would pick Ala/Ark this week then TN/Ala the following week so didn't have us 4 straight weeks. Really wanted the primetime ESPN game this weekend..oh well

I'm so happy he's gone after this year. Those 2 have an obvious hatred for Tennessee, you could hear the disappointment in their voices when Jennings caught that ball Saturday.

Verne was freaking out when Jennings caught that, might be the most excited I've ever heard him

Which I don't understand because ESPN is ABC college football but whatever. It's a money thing I'm sure. Here is to hoping for night game on some channel and we win!

It definitely could be but we gotta win at A'M and this will be our toughest game probably of the year. Just for the simple fact we have had 2 straight very emotional games then have Ala next week. Definitely not the ideal spot for a top 9 matchup on the road. Wish we had a bye week in the middle of this 4 game gauntlet. Would give the players a huge break from an emotional standpoint not to mention a little extra time to maybe get JRM and possibly Kirkland back. Our secondary will be tested more than they have been all year and for most of the game. And they will also take advantage over the middle on our LB's like GA did when we substituted LB's and hit their TE for that long TD pass. I have been saying this and it's that we do not match up well with A'M as far as their offense and our secondary. It's not bad enough we gotta worry about Moseley and a TR FR at CB trying to cover all those elite WR's they have who are TD's waiting to happen at any time. But also Knight can tuck it and run. He already has almost 300 rushing yards and 3 of his 6 rushing TD's were over 30 yards. Plus now chief has their defense at an elite level. We are gonna have to play 4 quarters and hope they have some turnover problems. I would like our chances better if we had Cam,JRM and Kirkland all healthy. The secondary is our most glaring weakness and their WR's and QB are one of their best strengths.

that's kind of a no brainer considering the slate. at worst you get a 5-1, top 12ish TN vs Bama, in Knoxville. there's not another game that weekend in the SEC even close.
