[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2483278, member: 70903"] I never said they have SEC Big 10 bias - but they definitely have blue blood program bias so all things being equal they will pick a ND, Michigan, OU, OSU, USC, Bama, etc over a TCU, WVU, Okie Lite, Stanford or even A&M despite what our friends from down under would like to think. Sorry - I realize you try hard to explain it away but even without purple glasses it is easy to recognize a bias toward the "traditional" champions and larger state schools. For example - did you watch ESPN at all yesterday or today on their college football programs? Did you notice the 17 seconds of coverage time the #4 team in the country received? Or do you notice that when they talk about programs that control their own fate, they talk about a bunch of 1 loss blue bloods? so basically regardless of what we do or who we lose two - even if its OU by a single point during the season and we win the B12 by 30 over them in the Championship - we are done. Yet, ND "controls" their own fate even with 1 loss. Clemson controls their own fate, even with 1 loss. OSU controls their own with 1 loss. They are even having serious discussions about the loser of the SEC title game should probably be in if they are both undefeated before the game - seriously, here is a hint - that is the point of the championship game, only one survives - unless you are the SEC of course. Interesting narrative that has been around for years... [/QUOTE]
