Well, I'm sorry, but if you think ESPN and the national media are going to do this and potentially damage one of their top darlings, you are highly mistaken.

All you have to do is look at 2011:

Their darling Bama beat only three FBS teams with a winning record, one of which was 7-5. EIGHT teams on their 12 game schedule were 6-6 or worse.

Despite this ridiculously easy schedule, Bama finished THIRD in the SEC and STILL got in the title game because of the media.

Let that sink in: LSU in 2011 beat as many teams IN THE TOP 5 than Bama beat that were better than 6-6.

Amazing, really. But that's the life of a media darling in CFB, a sport that is owned and run by the media.
