It's fine. Michigan State will continue to make the B10 and media pay for blowing Ostate, PSU, and Michigan

Did what they sought out to do: got you talking. Not only are you talking about it, you’re linking to their rankings and increasing their ad revenue.
Nice work.
Nice work.

That's pretty damn ridiculous, even for them.

I doubt ESPN is trying to troll SEC fans for click bait. Maybe they’re just bias

I wouldn't even know if you didn't post it

Nah not just SEC fans. This shite works on a good 70% of CFB fans. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t do it.
Let me ask you this: why would a business continue putting time and resources into something that wasn’t generating revenue?

We’ve seen the sec east this year. I think ESPN has as well.

Where’s Iowa? Oh they weren’t a top ten team?

Do we have any idea how that is even calculated?
WTF

I understand your reasoning but I think they’re just bias like any other media. There’s going to be the blue bloods who get better treatment than everyone else.
ESPN ranks them higher to try and get big names in big games. Big names in NY6 bowls and the CFP means big money.

These polls are getting worse, Not better. The cfp has georgia number one but uga would be a 10 pt underdog. The folks on espn say Alabama may be better but uga has the best resume. Huh??
Ok, are polls about who is the best team or the best resume? That's some stupid shite.
The fpi says uga DOESNT have the best resume. The ap says Bama is best.
Damn, make up your mind. If u ask 20 people u get 10 different answers. One poll. It's all we need.

ESPNs and other outlets current "Hot Take" click bait business model is getting old. I turned over to SEC Nation the other day and was surprised to actually see some plays and match ups being broke down. The best information is normally found on forums and Reddit after swimming through the sewer of shite posters.

After last night, no way Bama would be a 10 pt favorite against UGA.

Idk if you saw, but UGA struggled to the exact same score without a mercy knee vs SCar. You mean to tell me SCar > 7SU?

Can LSU fans come to a consensus? Was last night a good thing for LSU that they competed so-so against a "mighty" Bama team? Or is Bama not that good, that Bama couldn't play well against other teams?

15? 20?

Whatever fits their narrative the best.
Also, 7SU*

Actually if you know how the FPI is calculated and you look at the SEC East that has Vandy, Missouri, Florida, and Tennessee in it then you would understand why the rankings are like that.
