Of course, one of those outstanding games was not what CBS had to offer on the SEC Game of the Week.<br \/>\nBrad Nessler and Gary Danielson are supposed to have access to the best teams and best matchups in the SEC every week. But, in what\u2019s becoming a trend this season, the CBS game featured a 42-7 Georgia blowout over Florida.<br \/>\nThat lopsided win should have been expected. In the eight SEC Games of the Week on CBS, the average score has been 36-10. That includes wins by Alabama by 59 over Vanderbilt and Georgia\u2019s 41-0 shutout of Tennessee the following week.<br \/>\nClearly, whoever\u2019s in charge of scheduling at CBS Sports needs to tighten up.<br \/>\nSo what does CBS do this week? It schedules a Georgia-Alabama doubleheader. Georgia is a 25-point favorite over South Carolina. Alabama and LSU will play in the prime time CBS game, with the Tide installed as a 22-point favorite.<br \/>\nCome to think of it, maybe the problem isn\u2019t with CBS at all. It could be that the SEC needs more teams that can compete with the league\u2019s elite.<br \/>\nWho do you think needs to Tighten Up?
