ESPN still doesn't think we exist...

Go figure, but the below irked me. Bunch of idots over there.

3. Which two-loss team is in the best position? Don't rule out the possibility of a two-loss conference champion finishing in the top four just yet, as Wisconsin, Auburn and even Penn State can still win their league titles, and Oklahoma is still undefeated in Big 12 play. Last week, No. 8 Wisconsin was the committee's highest-ranked two-loss team. How far will the committee drop Texas A&M? With the Aggies' loss, Auburn will win the SEC West if it wins out. And after Nebraska's loss, Wisconsin will win the Big Ten West if it wins out. OU is a long shot, but the committee likes the Sooners more than one-loss West Virginia right now, so they appear to be the league's best hope. Penn State was one of the biggest surprises in the first rankings, at No. 12. Will the Nittany Lions take another step forward after their 41-14 drubbing of Iowa?

Doesn't look like they even realize that both CU and UU are 2 loss teams with a potential to win the P12. If CU wins out + wins the conf championship, they will have consecutive wins over top 25 WSU, Top 25 UU, Top 5 UW (or repeat of Wazzu). If they can add some style points to those wins, it may be enough to catch the committee's eyes.
 
I boycotted all espin links in the AB Newsroom. From the beginning of this season their interwebz trash reporting have ceased to exist for me.

Those links are ghosts of garbage jibberish, spirits sh!t in sh!t out. Nonexistant.

e-$ec-pin is a phantom ghoul floating below the Mason-Dixon line.
 
They didn't mention VA Tech and North Carolina, either. Or bring up Florida potentially running the table. It would seem their starting assumption was that Alabama, Clemson and Washington would go undefeated. Based on history, that's a horrible assumption. We never have 3 undefeated teams.
 
Give the pricks a reason to by taking care of business each week. The teams end, that's all they can control. I'd rather them stay focused on the task than them watching the douches on tv anyway.

We all must stop reading ESPN when talking college football. I wish Fox would do a Gameday kind of thing that I could watch over ESPN.

I tried really hard to give up ESPN.com. Unfortunately, I find their website to be vastly superior to others out there. Foxsports is downright horrible. Very little actual attempts at insight - mostly just cut and pastes of tweets.
 
That's fair, they don't exist to me either. Talk about a network that went down the drain. Looking forward to their comeuppance.

I don't think VT, UNC or UF should be part of any playoff discussion, just like I agree that CU and UU shouldn't. but either should PSU.
 
Ugh...just saw someone on Finebaum's show advocating for Ohio State over Washington and making reference to strength of schedule for Washington down the stretch and saying "if Washington beats USC again or Colorado AGAIN" in the P12 championship game. Of course the same idiot just said he'd have Aggy no lower than 8 after a loss to Mississippi State.

And this is why we have the CFP.
