Sounds like anti Tennessee bias

If anyone should hate the SEC, it is our neighbors in the ACC and the Big 12 who we have always excluded. Obviously in the realignment crisis were literally poaching their teams. But back in the day We agreed on lots of rules to cooperate on keeping non SEC southern schools out of the spotlight. Like if you scheduled a Texas or tobacco road team you were not allowed to play at their stadium had to be home or neutral.

It is an Alabama bias, not SEC. Watch the refs when UT is on the field.

This was excellent. I grew up with the obvious anti-SEC bias but was never aware of the reasons for it.

Imagine looking at the last 20 years of championships and NFL draft results and saying “omg bias” - sorry your league hasnt been as good

@matthoward9509

Look at all the speed that comes from the state of Georgia Alabama Louisiana Arkansas Texas and lets we forget Florida the track runners that modern football is crazy about and it is believed necessary that a good football team have to win that is a lot of why the SEC monster even exist.

So ESPN backed a non-SEC PLAYER for the Heisman? WTF does that have to do with anything?

I was young yet I remember fans calling in back in 98 saying they didn't trust the computes of the BCS... and possibly rightfully so as we barely made it in
