SEC championship is the stand alone game at 4p. They don’t want to share a time slot with any other conference/games. Or maybe just a coincidence. I’m beginning to hate college football with all the bullshit and politics.
The PAC 10 used to be Friday and no longer exists. That place was taken by the less popular games - AAC and Sun Belt.
The others haven’t changed in decades or perhaps ever. Big 12 (by itself, weird that you don’t mention that) at noon, followed by the SEC, followed by Big 10 and ACC at night.
In addition to generating clicks, this all seems intended to drive two results: (1) SEC and BIG as two predominant conferences, and (2) CFP expansion. Problem is, this isn't basketball, and you can't keep adding games onto the season.
