The SEC--er--I mean ESPN--I mean ESPIN is so pathetically blatant with trying to pump up its teams it borders on incestuous behavior.
I think it's a MAJOR conflict of interest that the SEC and ESPN are partners. ESPN set up their network. ESPN has put some of their commentators on that network. And once again, they love to perpetuate this myth (and now, it is a myth) that somehow ALL of the SEC teams are so good and so dominant that they deserve a top 25 ranking regardless of their record. In fact LSU has proven they were barely a top 25 team and have gotten spanked three weeks in a row to show they're pretenders. Florida's win in OT was aided by officials not calling a blatant hold on the Florida Atlantic receiver which would have put the ball on the one yard line first and goal. This win was against mighty Florida Atlantic who is 2-10. Oh and we can't forget the mighty Gamecocks losing to the all powerful Citadel can we?
Anyone catch what SEC talking heads had to say when FAU took Gators into OT, or USCe losing to The Citadel?
The fact that this even happened is amazing to me. How is this real life? Anyone who makes fun of someone who says anything about ESPN being biased and doing these conspired things is misinformed! Yes, it is actually a conspiracy!
Right. It's no conflict of interest that the Big Ten and Fox are partners.
Alabama is the only team the SEC can hang its hat on at this point, which kind of blows up the idea that the conference is so strong from top to bottom. Florida is the other Top 15 team, except they did not look like a Top 15 team this last weekend, to say the least. The only other ranked SEC teams are highly undeserving 3-loss Mississippi and even more undeserving 3-loss Mississippi State.
College football goes in cycles. The SEC is down, the PAC12 is REALLY down and right now the Big Ten has 3 Top 10 teams, with Michigan hovering just outside the Top 10.

I must have missed when Fox became the major content provider for college athletics over ABC/ESPN. When did that occur exactly?
They only broadcast games for the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac 12, and ACC. Plus mid major schools. You're right. That doesn't matter at all. Not similar to ESPN at all.
ESPN "owns the narrative" when it comes to college football and basketball. They wield the most influence. Everyone knows it.
