“[Texas] A&M, Georgia, Ole Miss. Bama would be the fourth, potentially fifth team, in these rankings for the SEC. We’re not trying to, these idiots that say, ‘How much do people pay you to say this bull—?’ F off,” Herbstreit said, via Sports Illustrated. “We’re talking about the sport. We’re talking about what we care about. I don’t give a s— about the SEC. I give a s— about how are they gonna find these 12 teams. How are they gonna split these hairs at 11, 12, 13, 14.”

“It’s fascinating to me. I don’t really care who they put it. Put Miami in. I don’t care. I don’t care if you put six Group of 5 teams in. Do whatever you wanna do. I’m just saying, based on the Sagarin ratings, the AP, the coaches’ poll, everybody recognizes the depth and the challenge of the SEC. You can hate that. You can make fun of that. Do whatever the hell you want with that. That’s the reality of the sport. That’s the reality of the world. You can live in the fake world. Do whatever the f— you want to do, as far as I’m concerned. The reality is we’re trying to get the 12 best teams in.”
