TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced today that CBS Sports will televise the Alabama-Auburn game on Saturday, Nov. 29 from Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. (CST).

Alabama and Auburn will be meeting for the 73rd time in history with the Crimson Tide holding a 38-33-1 series lead.

The 2008 Alabama-Auburn game will be the 34th televised game in the series, dating back to the very first televised game in 1964. Alabama owns a 17-16 record in those previous 33 games. The Alabama-Auburn game is being televised for the 15th consecutive year and for the 28th time in the last 29 seasons. CBS Sports will be televising its 10th Alabama-Auburn game this year.
