I know ESPN has financial ties to the SEC....is it safe to assume they have ties to the whole "playoff system", and then by default the P5?

Thought ESPN has all the CFP.  

You can see 100% bias towards all of their high dollar property.  Great example is comparing our games called by ESPN vs CBS sports earlier this year.

ESPN announcers talked more about CFP and random junk.  Completely disinterested in the actual game they were calling.  Granted we were terrible, but they were still unprofessional Clowns.

CBS announcers were into the game,  unbiased about the teams, and seemed we'll informed.  Absolute Professionals.

It doesn’t work that way, and if they did, the media folks would chuckle. We’re not newsworthy at this point.

Oh yeah...how do you know how “it works”? What makes you the authority on what’s newsworthy? Just curious.

OMG!!!!! It's our school colors. They're too Notre Damish for ESPN. They hate USF because Notre Dame has a clause in their contract that stipulates when ever ESPN 'Talks about ND, Shows pictures or video of ND or uses their COLORS, ND gets paid. Just WOW!

I this this a bit of an over-reaction or USF fans being too sensitive.

It was a big time playoff game.  The JS to USF story is way down on the priority list.

That’s our story? That we’re currently irrelevant? You think ESPN is rushing to produce a segment on irrelevance?

I think it's maybe more about OSU being higher profile than Clemson, and it was their DC not a co-coordinator, than it was his destination. Hell, I'm guessing a fair portion of audience doesn't even know BC is P5.

When I first saw the title of this thread before reading the content.  I wanted to react "Hell yeah you are ******* crazy.  You should be on medication!"

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
