Fun Facts for ESPN to consider

Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
1. Indiana is 0-4 against B1G teams, including getting hammered by a horrible Michigan team.
2. Indians is 1-0 against ESPN's beloved SEC conference.
3. The win isn't against just some SEC bottom feeder... it's against a team who is in the driver's seat for playing in the SEC championship game.

In other words, if Missouri wins the SEC East and the SEC CG, who goes to the playoffs from the SEC? A team that LOST to Indiana? HAHAHAHA!!!! Suck it, ESecPN. I think I'm becoming a HUGE Mizzu fan for the rest of the year. That has to be ESPN's WORST NIGHTMARE! A team that LOST to the WORST B1G team makes the playoff???
 
I like the way your logic works, but you forget that ESPN talks about what ESPN wants to talk about. That game will easily be "forgotten" when they have their little roundtable discussions.

I just really like the idea of Indiana going 0-fer in the B1G, but beating the SEC champ. Gotta wonder how that gets explained... Watch ESPN squirm out of that one.

Why should they squirm? Sometimes teams lose to other teams that have no business beating them.

I'd think Buckeye fans, of all people, would be able to grasp this concept.

Mizzou has little to no shot of making the playoff even if they won out and won the SECCG though. At least they shouldnt. Their best win so far is Florida. Lost to Indiana and got hammered 31-0 by UGA, pretty unimpressive resume.

Yes, but ESPiN will talk about Ohio State's bad loss on a regular basis. IU beating Missouri will never be mentioned, or else be described as a fluke. Nope, no bias there.

No, there really isn't, because nobody (and I mean nobody) cares about Missouri football, and nobody has suggested they might qualify for a spot in the playoff.

With excellence comes the desire for others to knock you off your perch. That's why Alabama has been slammed this season for not being as good as in years past, and that's why the talking heads continue to remind the nation of our VT loss. Mississippi and MSU are both regarded as those cute little schools that are overperforming. If they continue to win big for the next five years, expect the media to start pouncing on every little chink in their armor, too.

Where is 'Bama getting slammed exactly?
Without a single win that compares to Oregon, TCU, MSU, or KState ... they're ranked ahead of all of them in AP and Coaches at #4, and won't surprise me if they jump Oregon to keep #4 SEC in the Committee's ranking either.

The difference is, you don't hear people saying the Big 10 is God's conference and any other team would finish dead last in that conference.

I haven't heard that on ESPN. Feinbaum, yeah, but not ESPN.

It's fine to be critical of ESPN, but don't confuse their message with the ravings of toothless trailer-park Alabamians.
