re: Heather Dinich with a hot take....

LOL- That win over Wofford is pretty impressive

I held out against disparaging Dinich for a long time. Sure, she was a little anti-Bama and most of her analysis was surface level and FPI was her only reference for most arguments. But I thought she was somewhat charming and less obnoxious than most ESPN types. When she and Ivan Maisel talked on podcasts, I thought it was a pleasant listen.

But she's worn me down. She really is pretty stupid, and getting worse.

First time Heather Dinich and hot have been used in the same sentence.

Cecil Hurt was right about her. But the white knighting social media mob came after him.

She literally followed it up saying we had to blow out LSU to really register

A simple win vs #1 won't do it gents, has to be a blow out

Again, I wouldn’t have an issue if she had said “The committee just feels like Clemson is the more complete team.” That would legitimately be a better take than her schedule reasoning....which isn’t really even true based on ESPN’s on metrics.

The problem with Dinich is she’s supposed to be “reporting” on the CFP Playoff Committee, not pontificating about her own opinions....which suck.

Imagine if all you had to do between now and Tuesday was “compare resumes” of Alabama and Clemson. What exactly makes someone like her or any of the other ESPN bloggers a “professional?” Is it that they don’t have a real job?

She was asked today by Jim Mora when was the last time she actually attended an SEC game and she said “It’s been awhile.” Yet this is their CFP Committee “expert.”

Yes...this triggers me.

Maybe people will wake up one day and realize the BCS had it right all along. A rotating group of individuals, behind closed doors and no oversight, is making decisions. But meh math and formulas of the BCS.

Just apply the BCS to a four team or eight team playoff.

Or just go back to playing your schedule, going to a bowl if you win enough games, and claiming a championship if the AP or coaches rank you #1 in their final poll. The desire for a "true" national champion will never really be met. There's always going to be controversy unless you include like 32 teams in the playoff, which will never happen at the FBS level.
