Title: ESPN Gameday - K-State @ TCU
Post by: 'taterblast on October 22, 2014, 01:58:38 PM
will we be on gameday? it's a given that we will beat puds texas and osu, but will tcu win @wvu in two weeks?

that would create a top ten match up between two 7-1 teams. i know TCU doesn't have much tv pull but espn will want our national audience.

other games that weekend:
Alabama @ LSU
Oregon @ Utah
Notre Dame @ Arizona State
Baylor @ Oklahoma

friend at ESPN said there are a lot of pissed off peeps within their org because this game isn't in MHK. said they'll probably go SEC because of it*, but there's still a chance.

*Especially if LSU beats Ole Miss this weekend.

It will be a tossup between Bama vs LSU and (ND vs ASU || Oregon vs Utah [depending on who wins utah vs ASU) I bet (assuming the teams don't lose).

tOSU at MSU is also that day and has been set for 7pm on ABC. Here is my guess, assuming all teams win the next two weeks. Obviously both Utah and ASU can't both win their next couple of games.

1. tOSU at MSU
2. ND at ASU
3. KSU at TCU
4. Ore at Utah
5. Bama at LSU

I think it will come down to our game and the Big 10 East title game. My guess is they'll probably be in East Lansing because it's OSU and the game is already on ABC Primetime.

Don't know how much knowledge about this subject there is between you guys, but here's a little insidery tidbit to you all. College gameday has a few locations for each week and theyre all pre-determined before the season starts. They just pick the best available game when the week comes. Dont want to say Cats @TCU wont be one, but I highly doubt it is.

Gameday has been to Ft. Worth since they've been to Manhattan. They were there in 2009, week 1 this year, and they will be there for the national championship game. They've been pretty vocal about how much they like doing the show from Sundance Square.

Those sites are no where near concrete, they are just used to get a jump on logistics. They went to Ole Miss and Mississippi State in back to back weeks. Ole Miss was barely ranked in the preseason and I'm pretty sure Mississippi State weren't even getting votes.

What really gets me was the Gameday at the Ole Miss vs. Alabama game.

They spent probably a total of ~30 minutes talking about a person's layout for the tailgate, what they are wearing, decorations for their tailgate, how they cook their food, etc..

Not to mention, that was the weekend with the best slate of games to date this season. You turn it on to watch a preview show, instead you get a mashup of HGTV and Food Channel.

I understand the game was in Norman last week, but when they finally covered our game, they just soomed in on a bunch of Sooners and talked about them. They serve to the big names these days and it's not as fun anymore. They've taken 4 trips to Sec country, 1 to Stanford-michigan st., and have been to two Florida State games this year. The SEC contract mumped that show and took all the fun out of gameday.

The idea that ESPN is biased in favor of the SEC SEC SEC because it owns the network is pretty 'tarded. ESPN, like most media, is biased in favor of big market teams, and most of those are currently in the SEC. Granted, it leads to some pretty 'tarded results, like ESPN "analysts" projecting 2-3 SEC teams making the playoffs, but whatever. It is what it is.

I always felt like it was pretty small time-y too, but this year's A&M and LSU teams irk me a bit. Both started out top 15 and are terrible football teams. MSU went from unranked to #1 in 3 weeks because they beat a top 10 LSU team that had no business being there and a good auburn team. GMAFB.

You should care because espn wields more influence over perception in sports than any other entity. In a sport like cfb where it's still a beauty contest, that has major implications. I'm not burning a church down over it but you're burying your head in the sand if you think it doesn't matter.

I have no idea what steve dave is trying to say. As a college football fan I care. The bias hasn't hurt K-State to this point and it likely won't but the bias absolutely exists, it isn't a conspiracy but there are layers of bias that are there.

no one is trying to justify what ESPN and the SEC have going on. i think steve is just trying to say who cares...
You should care because espn wields more influence over perception in sports than any other entity. In a sport like cfb where it's still a beauty contest, that has major implications. I'm not burning a church down over it but you're burying your head in the sand if you think it doesn't matter.

Fair enough. For me if they just go to eight teams with conference champs as auto bids, I won't care. There's a predefined path so if you didn't make it, and don't get selected as an at large, it's your fault for not winning the games.

ok well are you mad that the system isnt perfect or that ESPN has a boner for the SEC? it sounds like you just want something to complain about, which is small timey... which is what started all of this.

The sec has been, and probably is now the best conference depending on what metrics are important to you. To me they are the best. I don't know that I'd say 4 of the top 5 are all in the same division. And they came get the eff outta here ranking aTm and lsu.

the amount of ESPN and SEC butthurt is making us look very small time guys. rein it in.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings

10 SEC teams in the top 30 including a team with a 16 game conference losing streak in the top 20, yeah nothing to see here

Massey has 9 in the top 30: http://www.masseyratings.com/rate.php?lg=cf&sub=FBS
Sagarin has 10, with Arkansas at 32 and SC at 33: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/

They legitimately have a lot of good teams.

I'm guessing their formulas have an element of perception in them, likely as the starting point so these things become self-fulfilling prophesy.

How in the world does Tennessee come in at 30 with their only wins coming against  Utah State (60), Arkansas State (57), and UT Chattanooga (103)? They lost to Florida. Arkansas is at 32 with their wins coming against Tech (73), Northern Illinois (92), and Nichols State (236). There is no way to justify that these teams are 30+ spots better than Iowa State at 66.

I guess the SEC v. SEC one could have been biased but then it would still have been LSU at #1 playing whoever the next team was. Other than that they beat the B12 champ twice, B10 champ twice, Pac10 champ once and an undefeated ND team after we crap the bed against baylor. they also beat the b12 in all of our head to head matchups this year so that sucks for us.

friend at ESPN said there are a lot of pissed off peeps within their org because this game isn't in MHK. said they'll probably go SEC because of it*, but there's still a chance.

*Especially if LSU beats Ole Miss this weekend.

I don't think TCU has enough fans to make it worthwhile for Gameday to go there. The only redeeming quality that Gameday has left are the thousands of fans that hold up all kinds of creative signs. That doesn't sound like something TCU fans would be good at.

Gameday has been to Ft. Worth since they've been to Manhattan. They were there in 2009, week 1 this year, and they will be there for the national championship game. They've been pretty vocal about how much they like doing the show from Sundance Square.

wait, the Gameday crew complimented the town that just hosted them?  Seems strange, link?

That wasn't the context of the comments of why they are happy with Ft. Worth at all, do you think I am a rough ridin' moron?

michigan state vs ohio state doesn't need to be hyped to be an elite game, idiots. that is the marquee game all season in the b10 this year, with big playoff implications
*if MSU wins. OSU lost to VaTech at home. They need tons of people to lose to get in.

A ton of people ahead of them will lose because they have to play each other, while this is the last time a Big 10 team will face a team with fewer than 2 losses.

If OSU wins out (including a win over an 11-1 Nebraska) they'll be very close (and they eliminated a definite contender).

on top of being the biggest game of the B10 season (including the snoozer vs nebraska in indianapolis), it has personal meaning to cat fans because MSU is ahead of KSU in the rankings right now. i mean are you guys for serious?

I'm not sure what you're trying to fight here? This game has implications, but I think the debate of what is the better game is pretty simple. The only top ten game of the week. They didn't even mention it on their daily college football take on espnu.

somebody said it was a "rough draw" for ESPN.

i agree obviously that KSU @ TCU is the best game of the week, but there are tons of great games this week.

KSU @ TCU
ND @ ASU
tOSU @ MSU
Baylor @ OU
Bama @ LSU
Oregon @ Utah

I'm not really worried about that, though it would be nice.

Miss St has @Ole Miss and @Bama
Auburn has @Georgia (meh) and @Bama
Bama has @LSU, Miss St, and Auburn

Unless Miss St loses to Bama and those two schools win the rest, only one SEC team will make it this year.  This is all before conference championships that we don't have to deal with.  I don't think K-State needs to be worried about Oregon, Michigan St or any other team provided we win out.

In all seriousness, I am kinda excited for the KU game.  I don't think I will be able to see it anywhere though
