Before you act like this has been going on forever, remember this:
1.ESPN openly lobbied for Woodson to win a Heisman over Manning.
2. ESPN openly lobbied for USC over LSU in 2003.
3. ESPN openly lobbied for a Michigan/Ohio State rematch in 2006. Gary Danielson and CBS helped get Florida in.
I agree that ESPN is in the SEC's back pocket since the new contract was signed, but to act like there is a historical trend is plain uninformed.

Espn made it no secret that they wanted OU-USC in 2004 and that Auburn didn't deserve a shot.

Everybody also ignores the fact that ABC (same owners) televises B1G and ACC games in primetime with herbstreit and fowler. Like they don't have a vested interest in pimping those leagues. People are so fricking retarded.
