Question: What drives ESPNs "agenda" to "push" Bama into the Championship?

They don't flippin know. LSU fans have been talking out their asses for 2 weeks now. The only logical thing to say is Alabama looks good right now but after tonight things might start to shakeup and if OSU wins they have a chance to get in the NC.

Then why have half or more of the LSU fans said the country doesn't want to see a rematch? How would ratings be good then?

I'm assuming you are referring to rantards? Well, they are rantarded.

Even if the country doesn't want to see a rematch, I can guarantee you that everyone out there would tune in to the game.

Or option 3. They honestly believe there is no way Alabama can get jumped by OSU or VT. Nope. That couldn't be it. It's obviously a conspiracy.



I highly doubt they believe that. They are definitely agenda driven. Especially Herbstreit. He's a slimeball.



I love how every tin foil hat scenario is SOOO much more possible than the most obvious one. I mean ESPN covering up an alien landing in the middle of The Rose Bowl is more likely than the possibility that they really think there is no possible way for OkSt to jump Alabama in the BCS according to LSU fans.

Here is what the country thinks:

Oh no not just those pesky rantards, it's a staple with people that the country just doesn't want to see a rematch.

Yea, but the good thing is that all these pointless "who gets in/who doesn't get in" threads will be gone by tomorrow night.

Clemson Wins over Va Tech & Oklahoma St wins jumping Stanford in the human polls which vaults them over Bama in the BCS. Book it! Much crazier things have happened on Championship weekend.

I realize they don't want to see it. Some of these guys are saying ESPN is trying to get Alabama in for ratings.

I really do think all the "Bama is in" talk will rub voters wrong. But I don't think these guys are trying to get one team in over another? Unless for ratings maybe? But again that goes against what all the LSU fans have said. Almost every single thing said on ESPN is the exact opposite of what LSU fans have said. Something's got to give! I'm genuinely excited to see how this weekend shakes out. Good luck today LSU fans


This is interesting. Do you think ESPN may be 'covertly' trying to challenge voters, as if to say, 'we dare you to vote OSU in. We are the final say in CFB, and it has been decided?'

I don't know, just so odd for them to say Bama is in, and effectively cast a murky cloud over all these high profile games today, at least 3, that can have a bearing on who plays. Why would they do that?

It'll be worse tomorrow. Both sides have bitched so much. It's gonna be unbearable when the polls start coming out.

Just like that phag David Pollack said yesterday that Okie State has no chance of making it. They must miss the class in sports reporter school where they tell them never to use the words: never and always, in a sports report
