ESPN’s top college football analyst, Kirk Herbstreitis here to set the record straight. With Texas being the only remaining team from the SEC elite, ESPN’s Herbstreit addressed ESPN’s apparent bias toward the SEC.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better Final Four with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Texas. The only team missing is Michigan,» Herbstreit said during an appearance on On3’s “Andy and Ari”.»
Herbstreit goes on to say, “So this idea, we want Alabama, Texas A&M and Auburn. Are you kidding me?”
This year’s College Football Playoff has already been deemed successful in terms of viewership, and the national semifinals are expected to be another triumph for all four participating teams. Ohio State and Texas are both looking to win their first championship in over a decade, while Penn State and Notre Dame are facing droughts dating back to the 1980s.
The SEC will have an opportunity to win the championship title thanks to the likes of Texas, but that’s only if they can defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday. Despite losing twice to top dog Georgia, Texas is the only team in the SEC.
