get Bama in the NC game? From that guy Smith to Brad Edwards to Craig James; disgusting. They should give other teams a chance.

OK St. Conference Champ - Bama already beat by LSU - no brainer, really.

There is a definite agenda. It is one thing to make the case for one team over another equally deserving team, but it is a whole different issue to act like it is a foregone conclusion that Bama should be in the NCG.

ESPN loves Bama, Ohio St, USC, Oklahoma and Michigan. Thats why.

I totally agree. The bias all day has been obvious. They must think they will have better ratings with Alabama in the game.

Even the announcers on the okie state game are talking like this win will just put them in the fiesta. It's really blatant and offensive. If I was t Boone I'd take some people out.

It's almost like they're trying to convince voters that they have no power in this situation, when the voters really have all the power. The objective portion of the BCS will OSU as #2

Bans is a media darling. Big ratings mean $$$. And they just happen to be good.

It's borderline disgusting. It really makes me wish that ABC/ESPN didn't have a monopoly on sports media in America

Just say it I don't want to face Bama again because they can beat us. Oklahoma State has zero shot to beat LSU.

Man, is pretty much a foregone conclusion by these guys that it's Bama.

Espn cares because bama brings ratings & in turn more advertising cash than okie st would bring. Its all about the cash

It's got nothing to do with that for me. Maybe others. I am just sickened by their blatant misrepresentation.
