All the SEC games I need to see are televised on CBS or ESPN. Don't care to see Kentucky vs Mississippi State or other low profile SEC games.

Well aggy vs chickens to open the season is on there. I was looking forward to that since it is the official start to the season. That's college football 2 hours sooner than the folks with just ESPN.

Wow, you're right. I'm surprised there are high profile SEC games on that. Don't think I'll bother to watch Wake Forest at 6 on ESPNU that night.

I have SECtv on Directv channel 611. I look forward to watching more football games, but I assume the big ones will be on network TV. After football, no reason to watch. I would rather watch SEC than the little ten sisters of the poor football.

Getting Watch ESPN would be a nice addition.

Well South Carolina/A&M and Arkansas/Auburn are on the network in the first week.

Saw this and thought why espn would make such a query. But then I remembered espn is in association with the SEC and not the Bigxii (FS1).

ESPN has every financial reason to push the conversation towards the SEC growing by two teams. Those two teams? Baylor and OU. ESPN already has an association with Texas in the longhorn network. Why go after TX when you already have A&M and adding Baylor would make combo about as attractive for the TX market.

Better believe espn is going to continue this idea and it would not surprise me if they and the SEC are already discussing strategy to raid the bigxii yet again:

Or I am just being silly.
