A possible way to ease the ESPN talk about the SEC

Coaches cannot talk about a recruit until he has signed...
So why can't we demand ESPN not talk about who they "want" in the football playoffs until the playoff committee has made their selections. It's obvious that they are talking the SEC up and are hoping that the playoff committee is listening. All I have heard is why a non SEC school should not be amongst the 4 teams and how an SEC should be in. Never why a non SEC school should and an SEC should not.
Not sure how we would accomplish this but it would make it more tolerable to watch gameday, a football game, anything on ESPN without hearing about the SEC every other sentence.

The committee members laugh at ESPiN's evaluations.

ESPiN is in the business of selling advertisements during games they broadcast. They hype everybody up pregame to drum up viewers. It's marketing that only the ignorant succumb to. The committee has no idiots.
They are pure logic and reason based of what happened in games not what's going to happen. Everybody's all torn up over nothing.

The SEC is talked about because they're by far the best football conference, end of story. I hate it, I DESPISE it, but it's reality. Let's beat the SEC all we can and keep improving. Then they'll talk about someone else.

I assume you are not an SEC fan but you are on here talking about the SEC for them. If everyone would let the season play out they have to play each other. So some of them are going to lose. Rankings are boring if the top 10 never change. They also get to have several top 5 matchups to get ratings during the season.

Even with all the manufactured SEC top 5 matchups, a sudo-ACC matchup gets better ratings.
From theacc.com:
The ABC Saturday Night Football telecast of then-No. 2 Florida State defeating No. 5 Notre Dame 31-27 on October 18 averaged 13,251,000 viewers and a 7.9 household rating, making it the most-viewed college football game of the 2014 season and largest audience for a regular-season game on an ESPN platform since November 24, 2012 (No. 1 Notre Dame’s 22-13 victory over USC averaged 16,059,000 viewers).
The game also garnered average minute audience, unique viewers and total minutes audience records for WatchESPN. The coverage added an additional 81,715 viewers in the average minute audience to ABC’s telecast, and generated 393,000 unique viewers and 19,448,000 live minutes viewed.
October Record: Saturday’s telecast generated the largest audience for a college football game in the month of October across all networks on record (records begin in 1991).
Top Eight Most-Viewed Notre Dame Games since 2005: With Saturday’s telecast, ABC and ESPN have combined to televise the eight most-viewed regular-season college football games involving Notre Dame since 2005. The two largest audiences featured matchups against USC, both on ABC, with a 2012 telecast averaging 16,059,000 viewers and a 2006 contest generating 14,647,000 viewers. This past weekend is the third most-viewed game since 2005.
ABC Wins Saturday Night: Led by Saturday Night Football, ABC won the night across all networks among households, viewers, and key adult and male demographics (18-34, 18-49 and 25-54), giving ABC and ESPN a third consecutive victory in the audience categories. With Saturday’s game, ABC or ESPN have won the night among the key adult and male demographics on seven of the eight Saturdays this season.
The Social Impact
Saturday’s game was the most social college football game of the season, generating 539,000 tweets about the matchup on the day. ABC’s coverage of Clemson at Florida State on September 20 is the second most social game of the season with 471,000 tweets.
