@PhillieD760 @PeterLong166766 @FinCane13 @PatMcAfeeShow This is exactly right. With all the bias for the SEC, skews the rankings to the SEC and that’s how they get their “toughest” schedules.

@OKSTMart And Oregon got an ass whoopin in Stillwater. Make it make sense

[Aaron Gilmore @HappyGilmore_20]

OKState vs TT is gonna be a helluva game. It’s been a long time since this game was a high point scoring affair. And somehow OKState is favored?

@heyitkb @cowboykdog Sanders couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. He had great receivers make him look good.

@TXndngrl @CowboyFB Very cool. It was a very good write of him. Congratulations.

This is the culmination of a process that began at ESPN about 15 years ago.

From the early 90s to 2006, college football's national champions came from every conference. Examples: the ACC (FSU), the Big East (Miami), the Big 12 (Nebraska, Texas), the PAC 12 (USC), and the SEC (Alabama, Florida).

There were so many good teams from around the country. College football was really fun to follow. 2007 was the pinnacle.

From 2006-2012, however, every national champion came from the SEC: Florida (2006), LSU (2007), Florida (2008), Alabama (2009), Auburn (2010), Alabama (2011), Alabama (2012).

ESPN announced it was launching the SEC Network in 2013, and it launched in 2014.

Right about that time, as anyone who used to watch College Football Live and ESPN Gameday can attest, ESPN pretty much quit talking about college football as a whole and started talking about the SEC, to the detriment of other teams and conferences.

To be fair, Nick Saban's Alabama teams sucked all the air out of the room, because they changed college football and were so dominant. When they somehow failed to win a natty in any given year, some other SEC team happily filled in.

Fast-forward to today, and it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy: ESPN and ABC give the best time slots to SEC games, while other conferences are shuffled off to ESPN2, ESPNU, and elsewhere; SEC games get better ratings, because they get better networks and windows; lather, rinse, repeat.

—> ESPN pays $4 billion for SEC media rights
—> ESPN pays for exclusive CFP media rights
—> ESPN airs the ONLY CFP selection show
—> ESPN creates a mystery Power Index that the CFP uses for SOR and SOS

ESPN then proceeds to rank Alabama #5, Kentucky #6 and two loss Texas at #7

All while ranking undefeated UCLA #8, one loss BYU #9 and one loss Notre Dame #11

But I’m just a conspiracy theorist, got it

@TXndngrl For sure. I’m still smirking at it. I thinks hilarious

[Aaron Gilmore @HappyGilmore_20]

@PatMcAfeeShow It’s a joke. CFP committee is terrible and ignorantly show SEC bias. They should all be fired from the committee.

[Aaron Gilmore @HappyGilmore_20]

@GregB_TX @RetiredFireCa However, he has the right to defend himself. His reaction time is faster the the officers. Let that sink in.

Go vote today. Pray before you vote. And vote whomever is closest to following the Bible.

Muslims have a plan to make America a Muslim nation.

Marxists have a plan to make America a Marxist nation.

Secular Progressives have a plan to make America a Secular Progressive nation.

… but Christians seem to always have a plan to keep Christianity from further influencing our nation by discipling people into either:

1) Political apathy (“God is sovereign, back off”, “we don’t get political, just do evangelism”)

2) Political ambiguity (“Jesus isn’t a Republican or Democrat, neither Right nor Left” = primary application of gospel to culture)

If continued, this will have very predictable (and disastrous) results in coming years, and a few conversations with pastors in deep blue cities / states trying to build churches, pastor people, and raise Christian families will help you realize it.

The folks of the Devon Tower gave me a heads up. They were going to turn the Tower orange tonight to commemorate Oklahoma State University homecoming weekend.
