More TV

CBS announced today that it will televise Auburn's Sept. 27 contest against Tennessee at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 CST.
Auburn has gotten more love than ever before from national television. Anyone living in the Southeast will be able to watch 10 of Auburn's 12 games this year in all likelihood (including likely Raycom matchups against Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Ole Miss). The nation will likely be able to watch seven Auburn games this year: Mississippi State, LSU, Tennessee, West Virginia, Georgia and Alabama.
I attribute that to two things:
First, and most importantly, HC Tommy Tuberville has raised the entire program into national prominence on a yearly basis. It doesn't matter which players Auburn has coming back, you can slate the Tigers in as a top-25 team virtually every year. Some want Tuberville to bring home more SEC titles and that's certainly a solid argument since he's won just one in nine years. Still, it's hard to be upset with someone who is always in the picture for a spot in Atlanta.
Second is the obvious arrival of college football on the national scene. It's bigger than ever thanks to smalltown America. The NFL still dominates the East Coast, but college football proves that the East Coast doesn't run the sports media. Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame on the other hand...
Thanks to increased media coverage, it's getting easier to watch your favorite SEC team all season, whether you root for LSU, Alabama or Auburn.
