It is actually located in the Scores section.

The reason why our game, AND #24 WVU didn't have a preview written preview yesterday was because they are both SUNDAY games.

EDIT: Just saw the link, wow

Absolutely Pathetic. Insulting to everyone's intelligence actually.

Maybe no one is supposed to notice anything is amiss. Those sly ESPN guys are so cleaver.

I doubt they will do anything about it, but you can call them out on it here:

Why are they using the AP rankings and not the coaches poll rankings, where tu IS ranked...?

Check the editorial note here...

"Ed Note: Texas is indeed ranked 24th in the ESPN/USA Today poll. However, ESPN's list of Top 25 games uses the AP Poll as West Virginia is clearly seen at the link as being ranked #24 in the rundown of games. Similarly, Penn State, who is #25 in the ESPN/USA Today Poll and unranked in the AP (as Texas), does not see their game included in ESPN's list of Top 25 games. Nor is there a note explaining Texas' presence in the list of AP Top 25 games when they are unranked in that poll."

Don't let anyone justify this garbage by ESiPN.

Somehow this came as a surprise. What a freaking joke. At least during baseball season I have the MLB network to assist with the ESPN boycott. Can't hardly avoid these idiots during football season.

And thanks for the ESPN corrections link. I sent the following: "You have a great list of Top-25 teams playing in week one. The only team you have listed that is not a top-25 team is Texas playing Rice. Is this an oversight on your part or are you shamelessly plugging your new network?"

Time to fly the no quarter flag on campus for ESiPN staff.

Somebody tweet that link to Andy Staples, Chuck Carlton, Richard Justice, and Tim Brando. They've all commented on ESPN's lack of credibility and will eat this up.

It could get even better if the only team that is even willing to consider the Big 12-3 beats them next.. then followed by a PAC attack on the West Coast.

I've come to expect this...

ESPN lost its closet-BOMC status years ago.

Well, it could be number 1 sooners against the number 2 aggies, and gameday won't come.

How does the LHN make you feel NOW Sooners? Get used to it with the biased ESiPN network, your partners in the Big 12-2-1.

Am I missing something or did they just take that down? Not seeing texas or rice anywhere on that link.

Assuming I'm not a moran and they did actually take tu off, WOW. They must have gotten some serious **** about that from someone. Glad to see it.

Oh chill out. Just because you guys don't get any ESPiN love doesn't mean the Sooners don't. The people over at ESPiN love to blow teams like Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, etc. We get ours because of the network but rest assured, Oklahoma will get theirs because they're Oklahoma.

I'm not saying it's right but it is what it is.

It has been removed. ESPN is taking notice of the backlash they're receiving from the entire country
