CFP has us 15 and LSU 19. At least they have some common sense.

only teams that have a complaint haven't lost yet.

Nothing against Nebraska but when you get outcoached every game...the playoff should be the furthest from their minds

Every game? Really? Care to qualify that comment with something that doesn't make you look retarded?

Ok, so your normal, antagonistic stance. Gottit. Thanks.

:finger:

Yep. To him agreeing with people would mean he might not be the smartest person in the room, which is flawed logic because it's seldom he's not the dumbest.

No, not at all. This handwringing over ESPN and the stupid so called bias is so fucking dumb. Bunch of fucking crybabies.

Plus, a sports story from the Rolling Stone? Can't wait for the Fox Sports One story on the history of Metallica.

Journalism is journalism. If you can't see the bias you are not looking at it with your eyes open.

ALSO: I would be willing to wager that if you lived in the SEC area you would take the exact opposite stance just to ruffle feathers.

I am sure there is bias but is SEC the best conference in college football? Have they been for the last decade? Is the B1G conference a weak conference? Has it been for the last decade?

You can call it media bias if they report the U.S. as a stronger military power then Bosnia but it doesn't do a thing to change the fact that it is a fact.

Jesus if we're gonna cry about media bias let's at least put something on the field to make it appear like we have an argument..

I don't think so. I looked at all the undefeated and 1 loss teams and their resumes on Monday and ranked teams. My top 5 where exactly the same as the playoff committee. It's really not hard to look at things without a bias in a positive or negative way..

Resume's built on who they beat? Like maybe, the same teams they pimp every day of the season?

I am not saying there are not good teams there. I am saying that equal teams, from different conferences, are not held up by the network equally.

I said nothing about the B1G. My side was strictly the lopsided bias the SEC enjoys from their bankrolling network.

ESPN is "bankrolling" Texas with the Longhorn Network. Is there a bias there? No because Texas sucks!!! They talk about the best teams. No conference holds so many better teams than the SEC. It's just the truth.

The resume's I looked at were based on scoring margin, SOS (win loss record of opponents), top 25 teams played.

But they are not making their money on that POS channel.

I do agree, however, that Texas sucks. :suds:
