What’s Herbstreit’s deal with wanting a 2 loss Georgia in?

Last year he lost all credibility to me when he lobbied with all his might for UGA to move UP after losing the SEC title game.

Now he just suggested again that UGA should be in if they lose closely to LSU.
Just ridiculous.

it's staggering the amount of people that think tv commentators actually just say what they believe. They are entertainers, they have scripts, they are told what to tell you. They are there to generate controversy and discussion.

Last year, not a single soul on earth actually thought we should be in the playoffs. Ditto for this year if we lose.

That’s fine for the shock jock types like Stephen A or Bayliss. But considering that Herbstreit has become perhaps THE national authority and voice of college football I would hope he would be above that.

Maybe because we travel so well as a team he knows it helps with the revenue that pays him?

Oregon losing last night took away the drama.

Need to fire it back up

you realize they all work for the same company yeah? KH may not be as over the top in your face about it, but he's still told what to say. The only reason he said that last year because there was a 0.00000% chance it would happen, he knew it wouldn't happen, but knew it would get people (like you) talking. It would be like someone coming out and advocating for utah this week.

I mean think about it..if you're a football discussion show and everyone was in total agreeance with zero controversy, how entertaining woudl that be? How would that be a win for the company? If they spent a full hour last year saying "it's pretty cut and dry folks, here is the top 4. There really isn't any rational way to argue anythign different" that would be boring. But say something stupid and that works peole up.

I think Herbie believes OSU is unbeatable and wants them to play Georgia then LSU. He wants the The Big 10 to be on the same level as the SEC. He'a Huge OSU Homer!

He is a huge Clemson fan and just wants to see the Clemson/Georgia rivalry renewed. Give him a break.

Oregon lost? Were you watching the Blazers vs Lakers or something?

Because Utah, Oklahoma, and Baylor are all very underwhelming, and UGA is a more complete team than any of them.

The more teams you claim should be in, the better ratings you get for the playoff reveal show.

Not with UF and GT’s ADs both being on the committee.

If anything, Herbstreit is like Joey Galloway. He never picks OSU
