TV or not TV -- That Ain't the Question

   As CBS enters its eighth season with the coveted 3:30 p.m. (Eastern) time slot for Saturday games, the Birmingham News got out its calculator and compiled number of appearances per school. The clear leader was Florida at 33, followed by Georgia and Alabama (27), LSU (24) and Tennessee (23). The next level drops to Auburn (16) and Arkansas (15), on down to Vanderbilt (one).
   So, we totaled up wins for each CBS favorite over the seven preceding seasons and found the least deserving school by that measure is the Crimson Tide (1.85 wins per CBS appearance.) Georgia (2.29) and Florida (2.21) deserved its exposure, while LSU (2.70) and Tennessee (2.69) were underplayed.
   Which team, other than your own, would you like to watch on any given Saturday?
