SECNetwork, Images, and LSU

Curious about everyone's (okay, so maybe not everyone's) thoughts on LSU's treatment on the SEC Network today. A few observations. (Long. Sorry.)
First, there's this graphic that showed up on Twitter and Facebook. Something about it seems odd to me. Does anyone else notice what I'm noticing? LINK
Second, the spot that was played with the voiceover about the Midas touch referring to the SEC teams in the NCAA tournament has a bunch of clips of the five teams. I only saw it once. But there were two LSU clips, dunks by M&M. Moore clips of the other 4 teams (3-5 each).
Third, following the softball win over Florida, there was a very abrupt switch to the Bama/UGA softball game that just seemed rather jarring. I know the game was overlapping with the next game. But the Bama/UA game overlapped with the LSU baseball game. They did a nice closing series of clips before transitioning to the LSU baseball game. Smooth. Let the win sink in. Definitely not the treatment LSU softball got.
Fourth, did I miss the NCAA bracket breakdown with LSU where they predicted how the team would do like they did with Ark and UGA? Or did the crew not provide the same treatment? (ETA: Maybe I shouldn't complain that they didn't use the touch screen. But the analysis just seemed very negative. Nothing on the level of predicting UGA over Michigan State.)
I am likely just a little sensitive to how LSU is depicted. Maybe being an LSU fan means that I'm expecting disrespect. Maybe I just read the rants on here too much. But is anyone else with me on the things I noticed today?

WTF are you babbling about? I see nothing unusual with that graphic.

That's the thing. I don't. I really think I've been reading this board too much over the years. And this is the result evidently.

SEC network is bad for SEC teams. It is a paid TV for the rest of the country (outside of SEC region) and few would pay to watch it, therefore, it is not good form exposure point of view.

Being away from UK is good...just ask Manhattan, Hampton, Cincy, Purdue, Maryland, Kansas etc.

I'm pretty sure the SEC network is part of every cable company's extended sports package. Basically, if you have ESPNU, you also get the SEC Network.
But to the OP, you do realize that LSU sports were on the SEC network for around 5 1/2 hours today, with the only other SEC live coverage being Bama v Georgia softball.

I'm not saying it's intentional bias. I'm just wondering why it's UK (won conference/highest seeding), Ark (runner up/second highest seeding)...then...It could be completely random placement. But the placement of the first two makes me think it's not completely random.
I just spent most of a relaxing Sunday passively watching the SEC Network. And this stuff kept hitting me in the face. I could be making it up, reading too much into what is otherwise random. It just was enough that I felt the need to write it down to get it off my chest (unfortunately knowing full well the range of responses I'd get.)

I definitely get that. Was very lucky to get to see so much LSU today since I'm so far away. Thankful for the SEC Network. It's the marketing/images/editing/analysis that stood out. I don't think it's a conspiracy. I just felt like something was a little off in each instance. P&G glasses, I guess

Looks like it's going clockwise by overall finish in conference to me.

Reading your post reminded me of the John Stewart character from Half Baked.
