Only an idiot would have been shocked by this.

bamagreycoat•77 months

Put the idiot hat on me then Saint Tiger because I was certain the committee would put Ohio St in. I lost $20 on it and $20 is a lotta money to me.

ppplsu•77 months

If $20 is a lot of money to you, you shouldn't be betting... just sayin

bamagreycoat•77 months

ppplsu,.... you're absolutely right sir or ma'am. But I was so certain that Bama was out I thought it was a guaranteed $20. I normally never, ever bet money on anything.

The thing I don't get is he picked Alabama when asked who would get the 4 spot. Palmer and Galloway went with OSU and Booger and Herbie took Bama.

DoubleDown•77 months

Correct. This title is misleading. He thought Bama *SHOULD* be in but he assumed the committee was going to pick Ohio State. He was actually shocked they picked the 4 best teams.

Lutcher Lad•77 months

Herb is all-Ohio State...very biased but only human reaction. Give it to him- he's passionate about OU.

MountainCat•77 months

He is not passionate about Oklahoma.....

ConfusedHawgInMO•77 months

Anyone that actually watched the show knows he wasn't shocked.

magicman0001•77 months

Yea.. and the blogger is just trying to get clicks. It's pathetic

eddieray•77 months

Who did he think was gonna get the no.4 spot?

magicman0001•77 months

It isn't Herbie.. Herbie picked Bama and was glad they were chosen. He was just acting surprised that the politically correct choice wasn't made, and they actually went with the better team. The problem is this article is a pathetic reach for clicks. It's basically bullshite.

DeafVallyBatnR•77 months

He said he thought Alabama should be 4 but he expected the committee to put Ohio St. in and he was as shocked. it was not bias.

bamagreycoat•77 months

I don't have a problem with Herbstriet being a hard corps Buckeye homer. At least he's honest about it. But I'm tired of Jessie Palmer's anti Bama bias. Palmer can take his cheese dick, hair jel, Canuck, arse back to Canada.

km•77 months

It was bias.

tigersbh•77 months

He was honest to say that Alabama was the better team. I have a problem with the Fox network. During the OSU game, all of them acted like picking OSU was a foregone conclusion. I don't think they believed what they were saying, but were trying to affect the committee.

I was/am shocked that the committee put Bama in at #4 over Ohio State. The only thing I can guess at is the committee surmised that since Ohio St got stomped last season in the first round 31-0 by Clemson that the Buckeyes blew their shite this season. The committee went out on a limb for OSU last year big time and OSU made them look very bad. I'm truly flabbergasted Bama got in. I would have bet a lotta money that I don't have that Bama was out.

eugene1928LSU•77 months

Should have been conference champ os. More disgusting than shocking, the gumps do not belong in top 4 period, just as os did not belong last year in top 4. In saying that I hope clemson beats them in every way possible.

El Campo Tiger•77 months

I hate Alabama, but they are better than Ohio State and deserved to get in the CFP. Ohio State lost two games, Bama lost one. Also, Bama didn't lose to an unranked opponent at home by 30 points.

Rabbs and QStick•77 months

Ohio State didn't lose to an unranked opponent at home by 30 points either. They lost to Iowa on the road.

Placebeaux•77 months

You dont lose yourself into a first round bye. Thats basically what Alabama did AGAIN.

km•77 months

Then why not pick Wisconsin??

bama = SEC Network flagship product $3,000,000,000 (yes $3 billion) contract with abc/espn/disney Corrupt institution = NCAA, NFL, mass media, Hollywood, etc.,etc., etc.

DoubleDown•77 months

Hate us cause you ain't us.

Rabern57•77 months

DoubleDown - Don't hate because your program is nothing without corruption.

Guy is a loser.

TigerSpray•77 months

He should be coaching somewhere. He's learned a lot sitting next to Corso all these years.

hottub•77 months

If I am anyone of the other 3 teams I would upset with the process. Bama got a bye week for not winning their division but still made the playoff. I think they have a legitimate beef with the committee.

imjustafatkid•77 months

Yes, just like the 3 teams last season were so upset by Ohio State getting a bye week.

magicman0001•77 months

He actually wanted Bama to make it. He simply couldn't believe they didn't follow the politically correct decision and choose Ohio St. He meant nothing deliberate. Was just displaying shock in a comical way. Quit making bullshite headlines just to get people to click on your pathetic reach for a click. And stop trying to make something out of nothing.

Homesick Tiger•77 months

He said he thought Alabama would be the fourth team in just before the final four were announced. Appears he got caught up in a lie.

Azkiger•77 months

So they didn't pick Ohio St. because they lost two games, one to an unranked opponent. Ok, I get that. Why not Wisconsin? Who did they lose to? A #5 ranked team. Oh, they didn't win their conference? Neither did Bama.

Azkiger•77 months

Well if it had to happen to any conference, let it happen to the SEC. This sets a good precedent for LSU moving forward.

TigerSpray•77 months

screw bama and the sec....

Muahahaha•77 months

I think he had to take a dump. lol

Fearless_and_True•77 months

He was puking

Bamasuks•77 months

He's ready to break some windows and loot and burn and who he Hell cares?

lsufornc3•77 months

wasn't Ohio State in the same boat last year as Bama is this year and Herbstreit was making a big noise about how Ohio State deserves to be in the playoff's last year. Now that Ohio St. is a conference champion, his last years debate is null and Bama doesn't deserve to be in the playoff's, Hypocrite Herbstreit.
