8. People like Finebaum nearly ruined college football with the SEC bias

SEC is no doubt good at football but he would often criticize the other leagues especially with the Big 12 -- I remember he discouraged them from adding Houston the year after Houston beat Oklahoma and Texas hired their coach when the Big 12 still had Oklahoma & Texas. The Big 12 eventually added Houston later. He also made critical comments about the Pac 12 when the last year they had 12 teams they were probably the best conference top to bottom after they admittedly had some down years but there is a good reason why teams rarely went undefeated in the Pac 12 with teams like Oregon dominating the Big Ten outside of Ohio State. Now ABC should almost rename themselves the SEC Network on Saturdays.

I realize this post has little to do with politics but I imagine his politics are just as bad if not worse than his sports commentary.
