He didn't blame Rice. He said that she was the only person on the committee that's from the Southern region of the country. He also said that when Archie Manning went out he knew that it was going to be trouble. He basically said that people from outside the south don't like southern football

Yeah, he's commenting on the politics of it all.

This would be a bigger bitch fest if it was a SEC team that got jumped by a B1G team for a spot.

If those were his words then he's right and I'm saying that as a non-homer.

You can't read between the lines can you? Yeah it's an indirect blame but one nonetheless.

I'm not sure I'd go so far as saying that they don't like southern football, but they certainly and clearly value the Big Ten far more than it should be. That was obvious all year. Michigan State stayed in the top ten basically all year without having beaten a single top 25 team.
