Bias
You want Bias look at Gods Team and Michigan
Sportswriters and sportscasters drink them up and always have
Musberger was so fawning over The Irish
It’s not bias for the SEC....in fact there was once hardcore northern bias against southern teams and now even if they are rather black teams some of that still exists
Problem with SEC.....not bias....they are the Borg
Or the gorilla on the room
They just consume so much and tv audience time too
Now I understand being in Tallahassee this sucks and all
But I do t think anything is stopping you guys
You chose the ACC for a reason....
Here’s what I mean about SEC bias. SEC teams are so consistently highly rated whether deserved or not, that losses mean very little and close wins mean that much more. A&M is a perfect example. They’ll finish the season barely in the top 25. They won’t fall out even with four losses after losing to a couple of unranked teams, because to do that would weaken Alabama’s claim to the top 4.
In 2013, when FSU was beating ranked teams by 30 and Bama was ekeing out 3 point victories over unranked teams, the constant drumbeat was Bama’s #1 and they must remain #1 until they lose. One year later, the roles were reversed and all of a sudden terms like “eye test” “game control” and “quality loss” became part of the lexicon and FSU was dropped to #4, despite remaining undefeated and being the reigning National Champion.
I’ve been an advocate for FSU joining the SEC for decades. A road game at Auburn is alot easier than schlepping to Boston, Pittsburgh or Syracuse every other year.
And soon they are going to assimilate Oklahoma and Texas!
