Why do people think the committee will throw away two months of work because Kirk Herbstreit wants his alma mater in the playoffs?
I literally didn't hear a single person outraged that Ohio State was 5th in the last poll, nothing changed. If anything the conversation is OSU or FSU.
it isn't just Herbstreit, it's like, all of ESPN. And then I just watched Mack Brown's dumbass basically agree with all the "well, you need a conference championship" talking point. The Big 12 has no advocates on the network that runs college football. meanwhile, I got to hear about how Ohio State should get in because they have "momentum".
for eff sake, we had a LSU, Alabama rematch and that network agreed that it didn't matter that Alabama didn't win their conference, those were the two best teams. it's amazing how much the big 12 has sat back and watched this crap without fighting for itself.
