may actually be, and this is a pretty strong word, having a "corrupting" effect on college football in terms of what they do and the influence they have on the SEC's standing in college football today? I've felt for a while now that they promote the league so much that, eventually, the cumulative effect of it would impact/skew rankings. I really feel that this has happened. What set me off today I guess is when I look at the BCS rankings. I just think there is an "ESPN effect" and I'm just a little tired of it and wanted to post about it and get if off my chest so to speak.
