College Championship Game video introduction just said 'In a time of inequity?

ESPN

Maybe he said “iniquity.” Would be accurate.

[MHGinTN]

The coming contest should actually be between either Baylor or TCU against Oregon. The inclusion of Ohio State was totally apolitical decision made for the ‘first’ playoff year. Ohio State is very lucky to be in this last game. If Oregon had a Lane Kiffin calling the offense, Ohio State would end up champions ... but Alabama is cursed with Kiffin, so Oregon will stomp Ohio State.

Did I just hear that right?

I didn't see it but I'll comment since I always comment without reading the articles.

I don't think it's a political statement.

[econjack]

Gees...I am so fed up with everyone thinking they have to make some kind of political statement regardless of the forum. If you really feel like being honest, instead of this drivel, how 'bout asking:

"Mr. President, you are the first President in the history of this Republic who has sequestered virtually every document from your past, making it impossible to fully vet you. Why did you do that?"

I'd even put the game on pause if I thought I'd hear a straight answer. Too bad they can say crap like what we heard but lack the stones to ask a real question in hopes of hearing a real answer.

This is Breaking News?

TCU should be in the game. That is the inequity.

[Alberta's Child]

OSU went into the Big Ten championship game as 4-point underdogs to Wisconsin. They won that game by a 59-0 score. That's astonishing.

Don't sell Ohio State short in this game, folks.

... but Alabama is cursed with Kiffin

You got that right.

[aft_lizard]

Nobody in their right mind would have chose Baylor over any of the top teams. Now TCU had an argument, but then it comes back to the question of if you cant put Baylor in how could you put TCU in.

[Delta Dawn]

I, for one, johniegrad, look forward to reading your uninformed opinions...

[Michael.SF.]

LOL

A lot of teams wish they were ‘ cursed’ with a 12-2 record.

I think your anti Kiffiiness may have clouded your judgement,

And I do not like Kiffen either, just for the record,

[VerySadAmerican]

espn is political. I stopped watching it and cancelled cable.

[MHGinTN]

Kiffin wants to win flashy. With the ball on the 24 of OU every play that followed first down should have been a running play ... but Kiffin has Blake throw it. Spare me, Kiffin was a ruinous chaos, at Tennessee, at Southern Cal, and now Alabama.

[bleach]

Considering the buildup and the entrance on to the field, that was the most underwhelming performance of the National Anthem I have heard. Respectful but low-key.

[smoothsailing]

Ohio State already beat the #1 team to get here, so no reason to think they can't beat the #3 team.
