[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 119123, member: 231"] I think that Alabama losing and what Tech did in the Orange are (or should be) enough to have destroyed the really transparent propaganda narrative that dominated the ESPN led sports media from before the season began. FSU's loss is not that big of a deal all things considered given the disrespect they were shown anyway by the b.s. narrative. I know this is a pipe dream but my [I]hope [/I]would be that ESPN and the media machine next year would promote the products they sell (meaning entities like SEC Network and that conferences games) in an [I]overt [/I]and [I]direct [/I]manner and rely on the fact that people want to watch college football anyway and don't need to have propaganda and bias shoved down their throats. Then they can narrate the season in a more open-ended fashion by touting how "any conference" and "any team" that shows up and makes the playoff can win and that parity reigns across the nation. I have never understood why it doesn't seem to make financial sense to ESPN to embrace and promote parity for the good of the sport itself as something which will only enhance the attraction to the games they broadcast. If they gave all conferences and teams a chance to let the season play out and prove themselves on the field and legitimately jostle into places in the polls then (just like in professional sports) the "rising tide" of national interest in the sport would "raise all boats" including ones they invest the most into like the SEC.
