ESPN so obvious in their bias

Today ESPN released the last part of their top 100 college football games of the year. Their bias is so obvious.
#1 - Clemson vs Ohio State, which they called this year's "Title Fight" featuring all of the most talented players in the nation.
#2 - LSU vs Alabama - "What made this game great was how relentlessly Alabama mounted their comeback." They said this game "gave ESPN Analyst Marcus Spears a reason for a victory lap." (He's the only ESPN analyst who believed in LSU all year).
LINK
Where do they rank LSU vs Clemson?
Dead last. Ranked #100.
LINK
By the way, the ranking was published by, you guessed it, same guy whose final rankings put Ohio State as #1, Bill Connelly. This despite LSU having the greatest season in history. What gives? They hold it against LSU when bad teams score in the 4th quarter against the 2nd string during otherwise blowouts.
LINK
-- Also, this is my first post and just want to say GEAUX TIGAHS! From a lifelong LSU fan. Not taking anything away from OSU, Clemson, or Alabama, they all had great seasons, but we were clearly #1 and ESPN still can't accept the fact.

I mean... it was entertaining as all frick for LSU fans. But was it really that entertaining of a game to the unbiased observer? Once LSU decided to turn it on, we fricking dominated their asses. I dunno, this just seems like a weird thing to get upset about.

I'm surprised it even made the list. It was competitive for only about 20 game minutes.

how Joe Burrow effortlessly carved up bama's defense for 60 minutes. Like he said, that was a beat down. Score didn't do it justice.

I mean it wasn't that great of a game from un-bias perspective. LSU absolutely steam rolled Clemson.

when the winning team is kneeling at the 3 yard line with 2 minutes left...it isn't that great of a game from an unbiased viewership perspective
maybe don't post anymore, eh?

In his defense, most of LSU's games wouldn't rank in the top 100 CFB games of the year because they were absolute blowouts. It's not entertaining to watch a team blow another out of the water by 20+ if you're not a fan of that team.

It is a person's opinion. Just because they or he publishes something that you do not agree with your opinion does not indicate bias.

I don’t see where they contradicted our #1 status. We won by 17 pts and we knelt inside the 10 . Did you really think that game should be ranked higher?
Posted on 1/24/20 at 9:01 am to Lattier
We didn't have many "good games" to the non-LSU fan
We beat the poop out of pretty much everybody.
Fairly ho-hum if you're looking for a down to the wire type of game.
Don't be so easily offended by things

LSU blew them out. Why would that rank as a one of their best games?

What does their list of the best games have to do with this?
