One thing I really hate about CFB coverage is the agendas. Mostly Big 10 and SEC homers badmouthing other conferences.
SEC football I really don't mind because they generally back it up. They should get the most talking head coverage.
Big Ten in both major tv sports...it becomes insane to listen to the fantasy land homerism. Sure there are years here or there where it's an elite conference in either sport. But year after year the computer average analysis shows it's just not on par with the Big 12, especially in basketball where the Big 12 has been #1 pretty much every year since Neb/CO dead weight left.
A lot of it lately is just that sports journalists can't do math. If the Big 12 and Big Ten each get 5 bowl wins they think that's even, if they both have 4 teams ranked in the top 25 they think that's even, if they both get 3 teams to the Sweet 16 they think that's even.
In reality when our 10 team conference exceeds, matches or is even close to what the 14 and 15 team leagues are doing it means the Big 12 is drastically tougher. In football and basketball the only conference that is consistently as strong or stronger than the Big 12 on a per team basis is SEC football. Even ACC basketball when you look at it per our 10 teams and per their 15 teams the Big 12 consistently grades out as a tougher league.
