Rolling Stone blows the whistle on ESPN's SEC Bias

[Tide Run This]

Watch the SPIN job ESPN does after Auburn or Ole Piss lose this weekend knowing our luck the rankings will stay the same. Watch FSU happen to lose to Louisville they'll drop to 15 but if Arky beat Piss St they end up dropping to 5 its bullshyt.

I think a lot of y'all are missing the point...the article is about the slant of the narrative ESPN gives the SEC. Media is propaganda, none of this stuff is by accident. It's no accident ESPN used Jameis picture when talking about Karlos. It's no coincidence code words like "held on" and "ran away" are used to describe certain games. ESPN may not show hard favoritism towards the SEC but they sure as hell create the narrative.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

what the hell are you talking about?

Who has a more impressive resume than Miss St. this year?

What is so impressive? Auburn was a good win. A&M win hyped them up because A&M was so highly ranked, but now we know they trash. LSU average as fukk, but they had pre-season hype. Then SEC fan will say "no, LSU is good.. they just beat Ole Miss!" and then I say well, Ole Miss has one good win (Alabama), and the rest are garbage teams.

That's exactly what the article was saying. We see these teams get hyped up so much, and then they lose games to each other, and it's almost like those loss don't count because the media will say "well yeah, they have one loss, but come on they were playing Ole Miss/Alabama/Auburn/LSU, etc." it's just a revolving cycle

How do any of these 1 loss SEC teams have a stronger resume than Oregon? Oregon only lost to a 1-loss Arizona, they destroyed Michigan State and UCLA. Now what's really the difference betwen UCLA and LSU? UCLA only dropped 2 - both to top 20 teams. Arizona only lost 1 game too, beat Oregon.. and they're 12

I'm wondering why fans of certain sec teams rep the conference. That's clearly a media propaganda tool. Y'all some fools for that.

 

[Darealtwo1]

calling it now...a 2 loss sec team is taking that 4th spot.

 

[Big Blue]

So when we gonna get at CBS for showing too many afternoon Denver & NE games?
ESPN for talking about the Cowboys all the time (no hate)
dikk Vitale loving Duke?

If the Big Ten won 7 titles in a row, there would be the same argument

But yes there is a bias...

ESPN doesn't have a conflict of interest with any of the mentioned. In addition to those teams actually having control of their own destiny. (Less so Duke)

 

[Rekkapryde]

It's funny how people don't have a problem with the bias when it's in their favor. For example how many ACC bball fans are shytting on ESPN for SEC bias but are silent when basketball season comes around and it works in their favor?

No USC than has the right to complain about ESPN coverage for the next 50 years.

I think the problem is mufukkaz denying shyt that is blatantly there. SEC football bias, ACC hoops bias towards Carolina schools, etc.

ESPN has a big conflict of interest having the SEC Network and they want to keep ratings/subscribers. So of course they are gonna cyse the SEC every chance they get.
Why the suits at ESPN think everyone is dumb and doesn't see it is beyond me especially in this day and age but

We all know the producers and directors at ESPN are told to push certain agendas for ratings and their own interests. The reporters and tools they hire to repeat this message certainly are not going to give up that ESPN paycheck by going against that.

 

[Rekkapryde]

shyt, bet more ad dollars increases their salaries from all the eyes the SEC brings

And they act like the SEC Network doesn't exist?

 

[jadillac]

Depends...

whatever....if that's the case, then 2 loss OU deserves to be in. We lost by 1point to KSU and one score to TCU.

I mentioned this during the OU/Tenn game. Herbstreit was making it a negative point to make known that Tenn was only being beaten b/c OU players were "grown men playing against guys who were just in high school last year" Well, tough sh*t, Herbie. That's college football. We want players to stay all 4 or 5 years and that's what our guys are.

I'm wondering why fans of certain sec teams rep the conference. That's clearly a media propaganda tool. Y'all some fools for that.

someobody said a while ago that the SEC banner was the new confederate flag

So maybe that's why

See ya during ACC Basketball season

Bingo. Almost made me forget how ESPN is ACC heavy come college bball

 

[fwest1]

"But, but, but there is no SEC bias!"

You have to be completely oblivious at best and a liar at worst not to see the overt bias for the SEC.

Y'all need to learn how to watch football.
there's more to it tjamnjist saying "oh look Oregon won by 35, and bama only won by 3"

ESPN sucks off Duke and UNC and always have/will. They will cuban B everything related to those schools and try not to shyt on them when the involved in some fukk shyt basketball wise. And the rest of the conference teams know it and see it. The entire conference doesn't get dikkridden.

Just how the ENTIRE sec conference doesn't get dikkridden in football, right? It doesn't even matter about an SEC bias because only ONE team is getting into the final 4 and that team is coming from the West (unless UGA runs the table then they could slide in as the only SEC team).
