You cant Spell Sucks without USC

Does the network still show sporting events? … In the sour grapes section of the market, Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville blasted ESPN, and ABC, for wanting a USC-Texas national title game this year to the point of conspiring to pump up the two teams to create the buzz. While there’s no conspiracy, Tuberville is dead-on right that ESPN has so much influence that by highlighting the nation's top two teams, it's cementing in everyone's minds that there's not all that much debate in the Rose Bowl hunt. Since poll voters don’t have time to follow college football closely enough to make an informed decision, most of them just go by the highlights.

His comments on ESPN's influence seem right on target, but then he comes up with something like this later in the column:

The weekly five Overrated/Underrated aspects of the world

… Underrated: 8-0 and ranked fourth in the BCS

How about: "...Overrated: Ranked 4th in the BCS, but only able to score 6 points against UT and 13 points against Ole Miss!"

Get real. The only time most of them are silenced is when that pie hole on their grape is filled with a moon pie. but at least there will be a new line of excuses that we haven't heard in a while......

1) we weren't supposed to win anyway

2) it is better than we were supposed to do

3) the refs stole it from us

4) phil fulmer does it also

5) the ncaa hates us

Did I leave any out?

8-0 may be better than 6-2, but i'll bet you won't say the same thing when our 9-2 plays for title over your 10-1. see you soon.

You left out the first part of that about Franchione being overrated; he wasn't commenting that Alabama is underrated at #4, he was saying Shula was underrated compared to one of the previous 'Bama coaches. And looking at Texas A&M, I agree with him...
