I guess CBS figured Bama beating Auburn about 48-3 would be better TV than our game.

I believe this is a contractual obligation like the UF/UGA game. Certain rivalries have to be on the home of the SEC. It's a SEC vs SEC compared to SEC vs ACC.

Usually on weekends where the Iron Bowl isn't on the same day. 2005 it was on CBS on Nov 26th and the Iron bowl was on Nov 19th.

In 2007, the games were on the same day and we were on CBS.

I believe I started the sentence off with Usually, could be wrong. I guess you didn't read the first word in the sentence.

If it usually what happens, then why do you only provide one example?

I feel like the FSU game has been a day game (3:30) for a number of years, am I mistaken? 7:30 ESPN is a thousand times better than 12:00 ESPN.

Games at FSU are always on ESPN/ABC because it's an ACC team hosting.

I wasn't aware that 2015, 2013, and 2011 were home games for FSU. Because according to your response they were the hosting team.

You're really going to make me go back and spell this out for you?
My original comment was that our HOME games against FSU have primarily been on CBS. Which, going back to when CBS started airing SEC games (1996) has happened every time we've played them at HOME except for '11 and '13. We've never been on CBS in Tallahassee, because ESPN/ABC has primary rights to ACC games.
Alabama is going to beat Auburn like a rented mule's stillborn foal, yet CBS still picked that game over what will be a much more competitive game in Gainesville (which they've aired 7 out of 9 times since they started airing SEC games). I think that's bad for business for CBS, because their ratings are going to plummet at about the midway point of the 3rd quarter while ESPN's ratings for our game will probably be high throughout.
