CFB playoff committee needs to show spine and punish losses, no matter where they happen

0 comments by Bart D on 11/9/2015

Michigan State just went into Alabama and got it handed to them, losing by two touchdowns and not gaining 200 yards in the process. It was the Spartans’ first loss this season after trucking teams on the ground through the previous two months. Alabama isn’t “teams,” though. The Crimson Tide rolled up 434 yards in […]

Alabama Demolishes LSU, Vaults into SEC West Lead

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 11/8/2015

When the initial College Football Playoff rankings came out, everyone had an opinion about Alabama being in the top four. Some felt the Tide deserved their No. 4 ranking, while others complained that their inclusion was just another example of SEC bias. I took a completely different approach. Rather than address the rankings — which […]

Outwitted and out-punched, LSU is bloodied after street fight with Alabama

0 comments by Bart D

I don’t do grave dancing, and LSU is no different. Sometimes, you lose a fight on decision. Sometimes, there’s no referee and you get your backside kicked outside the rear door of the bar and left to bleed on the concrete. The reality is that LSU is not done because the Tigers are in the […]

Urban Meyer, a superstar head coach and a national figure in college football, spoke at Big Ten Media Days on Monday in Chicago. Big Ten Network did not provide live coverage of his session with the media. ESPN deserves plenty of criticism for how it elevates the SEC and undercuts the levels of exposure it gives to conferences such as the ACC and Big 12. However, when BTN can’t provide live coverage of Meyer, Mark Dantonio, and the coaches of its other big-name programs, the collection of factors that feed into conference bias becomes a lot more complicated. It’s not just about ESPN loving the SEC too much; it’s about BTN and Pac-12 Networks being markedly inadequate when covering their own conferences. Conference bias is, in other words, a two-way street and a multi-source problem. ESPN’s competitors have to do a better job.

Ole Miss and your (realistic) SEC Doomsday Scenario

0 comments by Bart D on 10/25/2015

How do the kids say it these days? If you’re an SEC “hater,” Ole Miss just became your favorite team. Throughout the Rebels’ exsanguination of Texas A&M Saturday evening, one had to watch, mouth agape, thinking, “Where the heck has this been since they defeated Alabama?” Ole Miss displayed its best self, a collection of […]
