First.

Obvious click bait is obvious.

So what is Rolling Stone's explanation of the LHN?

FSU grad. Shocking.

And the ACCs ESPN deal?

And the network's grilling Manziel?

And the Todd Gurley autograph hunt?

Is ESPN pushing a pro-SEC agenda? We'll find out tonight when the first Playoff rankings are revealed

The rankings tonight aren't going to show anything. Anti-SEC people are going to find a way for it to support their argument, pro-SEC people are going to find a way for it to support their argument.

The truth is always something in the middle.

Better than everyone else, but the gap isn't what we make it out to be.

One could argue that the ESPN is biased towards the SEC, but the backlash from every other fan ganging up on the SEC is also just a disproportionately biased.

Fowler went off on Gameday over this issue. It was greatness. No matter FSU's win streak, UNC, Boston College, UVA, Pitt, WF, and Syracuse are all on their schedule. Horrendous. Excuse me for not being overly impressed.

@slmandel: i don't often criticize other journalists or defend ESPN, but that Rolling Stone article is basically a long, uninformed message board rant

I would say the Rolling Stone should stick to music, but they aren't even good at covering that.

Didn't rolling stone put a serial killer all dressed up like a celebrity on their cover? Their ratings desperation knows no bounds.

Well it was written by an FSU grad, maybe he was waiting to put his rant up in a bigger forum than warchant.com.

Don't be surprised if it is Mississippi State, Florida State, Alabama, and Auburn.

Care to guess why?

So do we love espn now that they support the sec and we're a part of it? I still hate them for all the sip bias in previous years.

Pretty sure there's supposed to be a S on the end of corp...

Guys don't you know that SECw record of 28-1 is just ESPN Propaganda?














Oh, and **** you Arkansas for losing to Georgia.

What is he going to say when two SEC teams make the playoffs beat their respective opponents and then it's an all SEC championship game? The world will burn!

yes, you should have.

The only SEC bias that is real is in the 5* recruits who decide to go to an athletic SEC school rather than a big whatever or coastal conference. They are just jealous, that, outside of FSU, and maybe Clemson, no team can really recruit athleticism like an SEC team.

Besides, the Rolling Stone is a piece of ****. This article has nothing to do with music and maybe has the slightest of ties to pop culture. This was just written for the circle jerk of anti SEC ****tards who think that maybe they can compete with the best conference in college football.
