Did anyone see the right-up on the front page of the sports section of USA Today this morning?
First off, I only read this paper when I'm traveling so I don't read it every day. However, this morning I was anxious to see it due to the rankings coming out last night. It was complete garbage! The hack writer of the article (Paul Myerberg) wrote the peice that covered some of the front-page and continued on page 5. He basically spent the entire article trying to make a case that not only could or should a two-loss SEC champion make the playoff, BUT, a one-loss Alabama or LSU should also get in! That's right. The entire article was a diatribe on how the committee obviously places a really high value on the SEC conference.
Oh BTW, the team that is currently ranked #1 in the land was not even mentioned ONE TIME in the entire piece. That was mind blowing.
It seems to me that people like Myerberg (along with the four-letter network) like to inject themselves into the process and send "signals" to the committee to try to influence them.
I hope (and do believe) that the committee members are much too smart to fall for that crap!
That is the way most papers have it this morning. The Chicago Tribune only had a couple of sentences and then went on about Alabama and the B1G, also SEC. Through both papers in the recycling. Not worth reading.
