Makes sense to not sell the game to ESPN and just have a 830pm kickoff.

If CBS has already used their Prime Time slot with UGA-Bama they will not own the rights. CBS would have to lease the rights FROM ABC/ESPN. I don't think they would be willing to pay what ABC would ask. I expect the game to be 'ESPN Saturday Night Football on ABC presented by Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's'.

CBS will do whatever Augusta National tells them to do that weekend. Alabama-LSU may wind up on SEC Network.

I could see something being worked out that CBS gets to move their 2:30 game to the primetime slot that week in exchange for ESPN getting first pick another week excluding maybe 1 or 2 games, much like what happened in 2011.
Give ESPN the first pick of Week 2, giving them Auburn/UGA, leaving CBS Texas A&M/Alabama. I think both parties would be amenable to something like that.

Will the Masters get as many viewers as an LSU-Alabama matchup, which is one of the most watched football games every season? I’m not sure of golf viewership but I do usually watch the Masters, so if there’s a lot of people like me I could understand if it WAS higher.

Believe it or not, probably not on a given day. It's a 4 day event though so yes, it will outpace viewership by at least 4x
Bama/LSU is also only drawing mega TV numbers if it's a top 5 matchup
