I've got two opinions here.

1. You should be able to set the game time for any game not on TV. For example, in the first part of the season, when it's warm, any game that Arkansas has that's not on TV is always at 6pm CST. Once the weather cools, kick off is at 11am CST.

2. For games on TV, well.... you shouldn't be able to set the date or time. Your conference has a deal with whatever broadcast company is broadcasting the game, you play when they tell you to play. But with that said, the game's scheduling logic could probably be improved as far as game times.

CBS does like to schedule their SEC game of the week for 2:30 Saturday, so if LSU is part of the SEC game of the week (even if the game isn't saying it's broadcast by CBS), they should be playing at 2:30. However, if they're being covered by ESPN, they're going to be the 7pm game, etc. Arkansas, however, if not the 2:30 CBS game tends to be the 11am ESPN game. Occasionally we'll get a televised night game in the latter part of the season, but I can't think of many in recent history.
