Another reason why the ABC TV deal is better than the CBS deal

Although we knew that we would be playing Tech on Friday in primetime on ABC, the rest of the TV time designations come out today.

The SEC is putting all 5 (6 if we include A&M) of its CFP contenders on ABC for the last week of the season.

Ole Miss - Friday 3:30
Georgia - Friday 7:30
Tennessee - Saturday 12:00
Alabama - Saturday 3:30
Texas / Texas A&M - Saturday 7:30

I know the playoff committee has access to all the games, but being on ABC means more viewers than ESPN. It can’t hurt with public perception. Meanwhile, Penn State and Indiana are on FS1 and BTN tiers.

Last year, only Arkansas-Mizzou (CBS had a boner for that shitty game) and the Iron Bowl would have been available for broadcast TV.

Why I'm not afraid of Texas

A picture is worth a thousand words and this picture is telling a tale of two college age boys with severe PTSD. They look like they're walking back past fresh reinforcements after the Battle of Okinawa. I'm telling you these boys are scared. They haven't and they wont forget what happened that night in Austin, Texas. They've been having nightmares since.

Brugler Mock Draft: Three Dawgs in the First Round

Since there are some draft related threads, figured it was worth highlighting where one of the better draft analysts have Dawgs in his first post-season mock. These are also the only Georgia players in Brugler's most recent Top 50 Big Board.

6. New York Jets: Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia
7. Tennessee Titans: Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia
12. Miami Dolphins: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Relevant for this week, Brugler notes that Mykel's "Texas tape alone might be enough for him to be drafted this high."

SECCG reference: First round projections for Texas:

Kelvin Banks Jr., OT/G, Texas
Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

Dane had Ewers and Beck both in his top 50 at the start of the year (Beck 8th, Ewers 23rd.) Both have dropped out entirely.
