Auburn and LSU will kick off at 2:30 p.m. next weekend in Baton Rouge, La., and air on CBS, the network announced Sunday morning.

The announcement comes after the game was placed on a six-day hold, with CBS, ESPN (6:15 p.m.) and ESPN2 (6 p.m.) all options. After Auburn thrashed Ole Miss, 44-23, and LSU bounced back from its loss to Troy with a 17-16 road win at Florida, CBS opted to pick up the game.

This year's LSU-Auburn game will mark the 52nd meeting all time between the two SEC West rivals. LSU leads the series, 28-22-1, including eight consecutive wins in Death Valley, where Auburn has not won since the "Cigar Game" in 1999.

Auburn won last year's game in Jordan-Hare Stadium, 18-13, in a game that cost then-LSU coach Les Miles his job and resulted in the program naming Ed Orgeron interim head coach. Orgeron was promoted to full-time head coach at the end of the season.
