(UPDATE -- David Ching has the info. CBS will use their 6 Day Option. We will either be at 7ish or 3:30)
No word yet on the start time for UGA at Alabama. Normally, CBS announces its pick 13 days before kickoff. However, they get two or three six day exemptions per season where they can announce near the last minute.
In other words, we might hear something this afternoon on the kickoff times, but we might not Also complicating things...ESPN gets to pick out of order a few times per year and take the top game.
Because UGA lost to South Carolina and LSU kicked the immortal hell out of Virginia Tech, we're not a layup to play Bama on CBS at 3:30 EST.
Our competition for SEC time slots:
-- South Carolina (#16 or so) at LSU #2 (unquestioned best game of Sept. 22nd)
-- UK (Top 25 if they beat Lville) at Arkansas (Top 15 if they beat Bama)
The TV schedule looks set up for a CBS 3:30 game, an ESPN 7:45 pm game and an ESPN2 twilight game. Not that it matters but CBS has listed UGA vs. Bama as "tentative" for weeks at 3:30 pm EST.
If I ran ESPN, I'd take SC at LSU with the wild card. And I'd put the winner of the Alabama vs. Arkansas game on CBS with the loser playing on ESPN2.
It'll be interesting to see if we find out today or not.

Ching has an update on the Bama game time. CBS will hold its decision until next week and we'll either play on CBS at 3:30 or the 7ish ESPN game.
Earlier the better in Bama. I figured the hype behind Bama this year might get us on CBS, hope so, sick of missing part of the first quarter on ESPN.
The last thing I think any of us want is to give Bama fans a reason to tailgate all day before an SEC night game. And I'm sure Saban has forgotten that whooping we handed LSU in 2004. No hard feelings at all.
