I know the college game is a lot more heart and emotions and its truly difficult to measure 2 or more teams that play in different conferences, have no common opponents and play cupcakes or FCS teams, but I'm floored by the general media's demeanor in analyzing Notre Dames rankings.
Sunday morning - ESPN has a live over-the-phone interview with Brian Kelly.
Kelly does a lot of coach speak .. "tough schedule..... see were the chips fall", etc, etc. ..... After which Keyshon Johnson points out "tough schedule?, I see Northwestern & Navy on the schedule" as he rolls his eyes.
OK, 1st I have never seen Keyshon as a very insightful commentator on his best day, but I don't know what his bias is based on. His alma matter USC has played Fresno State & Boston College not too different then ND's schedule.
The week before, Kirk Herbstreit said he's still not convinced by Notre Dames "body of work"
Granted Kirk can routinely be caught sucking the balls of any SEC team, at any time, but still he's ESPN's go to guy and he just gives no respect regardless of what the facts show
The number 1 team in the county Mississippi State has played:
Southern Miss (2-4) .... UAB - confr USA (4-2) ... South Alabama - Sunbelt (3-2) and they still have UT Martin slated in week 9
Florida State has played Citadel, Wake Forrest and Syracuse.
Gee Herb are you impressed by THAT body of work?
These college pre & post game shows are getting harder to watch with these bonehead commentators
I'm not looking for any mainstream commentator to be pro or con any school 100% of he time but these guys are just hating on the #6 undefeated, non FCS playing Fighting Irish
