“We were not shocked that Finebaum topped our list. What was somewhat surprising was that his score was such an outlier, being 23 points higher than anyone else. Finebaum’s SEC-tilted coverage was no doubt going to register in our survey, but the fact that only about 1% of voters selected the ‘no notable bias observed’ answer was a bit surprising … For now, Finebaum sits atop our bias rankings with no real competition.”

TOP TEN

1 - Paul Finebaum (ESPN) – SEC
2 - Dave Portnoy (Barstool & FOX Sports) – Big Ten
3 - Nick Saban (ESPN) – SEC
4 - Clay Travis (OutKick & FOX Sports) – SEC
5 - Brandon Walker (Barstool Sports & FS1) – SEC
6 - Greg McElroy (ESPN) – SEC
7 - Booger McFarland (ESPN) – SEC
8 - Kirk Herbstreit (ESPN) – SEC
9 - Brady Quinn (FOX Sports) – Notre Dame/other
10 - Taylor Lewan (Bussin’ With The Boys & ESPN) – Big Ten

Most of these aren’t announcers

DonJuanDaMiles•5 months

Where’s Reece Davis?

Bandit1980•5 months

He's still under Saban's desk, you know, for Ole' Mighty Alabama!

JohnnyU•5 months

And they omit Joel Klatt completely?

howieshoodlums•5 months

If Klatt is not right up there with Finebaum there is no sense in making a list .

caliegeaux•5 months

LSU could be playing for all the marbles in my own living room and if Paul Finebaum was actually announcing it, I’d mute my house.

Barbellthor•5 months

PF is not an announcer, and he covers the SEC so he is not biased toward it. He covers it. His bias is to bama.

dagrippa•5 months

Klatt was pushing Chase Young over Joe Burrow for the Heisman. He's comedy.

Kiawah Tiger•5 months

Herbstteit doesn't belong on the list. He's about as straight as shooter as there is in the business. Sure, he'll pick Ohio State on Gameday, but his broadcast commentary is first rate.

High C•5 months

The absence of Gus Johnson makes this list irrelevant.

Datbayoubengal•5 months

Gus isn't biased though.

GeauxBurrow312•5 months

Gus is the most blatant OSU supporter there is

Sailor Sam•5 months

He's also annoying af

jasonbr1975•5 months

Hahahaha
Gary Danielson enters the chat!

Koolazzkat•5 months

Yeah, if Gary didn’t make the cut, then why create the list?

whodatfan•5 months

This is THE first person I though of after reading the title. Man this dude sucked off Saban/Bama so hard and didn't even care how obvious it was. Putrid

How about Gus Johnson? His man crush on Deion Sanders is beyond normal.I bet he has a poster of Sanders on the ceiling above his bed.

Maytheporkbewithyou•5 months

Who's that jackleg Seminole that's always shite talking the SEC? He should have ranked higher, but nobody can remember his name.

DocRock•5 months

Danny Kannell.

SL Tiger•5 months

Finebaum gets paid alot of money to act like a friggin clown.

Muzza•5 months

Well if Im a SEC FAN I sure don't want someone from another conference telling things about the conference I support. And Dave Portnoy just seems like your average drunk bar patron telling you he knows about every sport in the world. Irritating at the least

Jabontik•5 months

Surprised Herbstreit is even on the list, he seems pretty fair to me, except maybe when Ohio State is involved

Why you hating on Verne? Dude was hilarious

SEC SEC SEC winning in everything

js1591•5 months

Reece Davis should be number 1. How is he not on here?

imjustafatkid•5 months

Announcers? Wouldn't someone have to actually call games to be considered an "announcer?" I'm not a fan of Finebaum, but commentators have no mandate to be nonbiased.

Chad4Bama•5 months

Announcers are people who, you know, announce games.

Poll is worthless because respondents were obviously retarded.

Gideon Swashbuckler•5 months

Joel Klatt gargles OhioSt's nuts so hard. He wore all black on his show after the BigX championship loss.
