Kirk Herbstreit sets record straight about ESPN “SEC bias”

.

ESPN’s top college football analyst, Kirk Herbstreit, is here to set the record straight. With Texas being the sole remaining team from the elite SEC, ESPN’s Herbstreit addressed the apparent bias ESPN shows towards the SEC.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better final four with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, and Texas. The only team missing is Michigan,” Herbstreit stated during an appearance on On3’s “Andy and Ari.”

Herbstreit goes on to say that “So this idea we want Alabama, Texas A&M, and Auburn. Are you kidding me?”

This year’s College Football Playoff has already been deemed successful in terms of ratings, and the national semifinals are expected to be another triumph for the four participating teams. Ohio State and Texas are both seeking their first championships in over a decade, while Penn State and Notre Dame are facing droughts that stretch back to the 1980s.

The SEC will have the opportunity to claim the championship title through the likes of Texas, but that is only if they manage to defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday. Despite losing to the top dog Georgia twice, Texas is the only team in the SEC.
