CBS is almost definitely going to wait til next Sunday or Monday to announce their selections for Oct. 18th. I'm currently of the opinion that CBS will select Georgia vs. Vanderbilt for the 3:30 pm telecast assuming at least one of us wins this Saturday (UT at UGA / Vandy at Miss State).My reasons:
- Vandy Curiosity Factor - The ESPN family of networks has televised three of Vanderbilt's five wins. CBS hasn't gotten in on that action yet. When was the last time CBS televised a Vanderbilt win? Did they show the victory over UT in 2005? They're going to want to get in on this story. Soon.
- 2nd Biggest Game of the Week? - If UGA and Vanderbilt both win on Sat, our match-up will feature roughly #8 vs. #13 or so. That'll be one of the three biggest games of the day behind Missouri at Texas but comparable to Kansas at Oklahoma.
The best way for us not to end up on CBS would be for Georgia to lose to UT and for Vanderbilt to fall in Starkville. That might land us on Raycom.
