Why ESPN Hates the BCS I have two problems with the way college football is covered by national media types. First of all, most of them, e.g., ESPN, have a pro-playoff agenda. The second problem is that once they see a team they love, like the Oklahoma Sooners, they declare the de facto title winner. |
