The game was always on during prime time at 7:00pm. At first they would have the Army/Navy game on during the day followed by the SEC Championship. Then after other leaques formed championship games, you would have them on during the day as a warm up for Championship Saturday. There would be the WAC game in the morning and the Big 12 in the afternoon.
We would also have the best broadcast team with Keith Jackson and Bob Griese. I guess it got swapped over to CBS sometime during the stretch when Bama was not in the game. I didn't really miss it until Bama started playing in the game again. I really wish it would go back to a prime time game again on ABC. I know it won't happen, but it would be nice to have Sean McDonogh or Brad Nessler or even Musburger and Herbie calling the game.
The Prime time schedule was perfect too, because you had all Saturday to run errands and have time to get home before the game. A tradition was started in our family with going to get a live Christmas tree during the day and by the time the tree was decorated, the game was ready to start. Oh well, the good ole days.....
