I know it doesn't matter, but this happens over and over with the SEC...
Mizzou: 6-3. Wisconsin: 6-3
Mizzou best Ws: Florida (5-4), A&M (4-5)
Wisconsin best Ws: USC (7-2), Penn St (5-4)
Mizzou Ls: Miss St (4-5), Ole Miss (6-3), Texas (6-3)
Wisconsin Ls: UCLA (9-0), ND (8-1), Iowa (7-2)
Mizzou is 23rd. Wisconsin is unranked.
Funny how @NDFootball SOS is higher than 8 of the top 20 and 5 of the top 12 but @KirkHerbstreit is out here crying about how bad their schedule is… must be the talking point to his pals in the committee. #SECESPN
@Matt_Fortuna Are they going to unveil the top 50 next year? Why even have the show… if you’re a SEC team with 4 losses or less, Big 10 with 3 or less and ACC or Big 12 with 2 or less your automatically in.
Notre Dame at 5 is so disrespectful lmao. Two 2 loss SEC teams in the Top 6 and Alabama Top 3? Miami dropping six spots? God this committee is somehow even worse😭
@genowoj To think that the money that ESPN is putting up has no influence on the rankings is just turning a blind eye to the obvious. Again, 10 SEC ranked teams is just asinine.
My favorite thing about the “champions classic” is that to have Michigan State who hasn’t won one in 25 years and Kentucky, one in the last 25, but you leave out UConn who’s won more than all of them combined in the last 25 years…. “Champions”
I mean what is going to happen when you surround yourself with yes men and women and watch news that is so far out of touch, it’s not really news.. you get a dose of actual reality.
Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News as polls closed on Election Day, sending Greg Gutfeld a wild text message live on air. The President's frustration boiled over after he slammed the network's midterm coverage on Truth Social.
Bad look for Omar, both optics-wise and in reality. I suggested they should've promoted Brandon Hunt or hired an outside GM candidate because Omar wasn’t a true football guy. But hey, he's got a cool nickname and he fleeces!!!
SEE LOOK! THIS IS A CATCH! HE HAD POSSESSION OF THE BALL, TOUCHED ONE FOOT DOWN AND THEN HIS ENTIRE BACK TOUCHED BEFORE LOSING POSSESSION! ITS A TOUCHDOWN!
A year from now, Heather Dinich will be on every episode of SportsCenter telling us why the 13th-place SEC team with a 5-4 record deserves to be in the playoff over the 3rd-place B1G team that’s 8-1.
I'll weigh in here.
Football announcers in both college and the NFL in today's world are far more knowledgeable about rules than they have ever been in my lifetime. They are also more supportive of officiating than they have ever been.
The three announcing crews I regularly work with are incredibly strong on their knowledge of the rules, which (fortunately?) minimizes the times I need to speak.
Sometimes the rules get very complex and announcers do get it wrong, but sometimes the officials, including Replay, get it wrong and announcers are obliged to point it out especially when rules are involved rather than real-time judgments.
Judgments are always open for debate, but as I said, today's announcers are very deferential to judgments by officials and almost always extremeley fair.
If Commissioner Sankey and the SEC believe announcers are treating SEC officiating unfairly, I would suggest reaching out and working with their broadcast partners on rules/officiating would be far more effective than a broadside attack such as this.
