CBS didn’t get Clemson-Texas A&M? I thought they would have fought hard to get this game because they haven’t carried Clemson in the regular season since 1989.
CBS has never gotten a top-level game from the ESPN sublicense since the US Open went to ESPN. ESPN isn’t going to just give away their #1 SEC game.
