'they have to wait until 2:00' according to them. Which is BS because they already have the assignments and rankingsThe non stop blabbering about the 4 playoff teams on espn is nauseating. Tell us the damn top 25 and the bowl matchups.
Its the biggest tease this side of the Mississippi.'they have to wait until 2:00' according to them. Which is BS because they already have the assignments and rankings
I was wondering why nobody had started a bowl thread yet. Been way too quiet on this board about bowl matchups and stuff.
Its not officially announced on ESPN because they need to talk a bunch of BS for the ad money, most of the info leaks out especially from the big programs who's donors have big mouths and like to talk, 2 of the biggest programs OSU and Texas already leakedBecause nothing official comes out for another 1-2 hours.
SU to Orlando and NC State to the Bronx? That would be hilarious.
ESPN can't have MARCH MADNESS exclusive rights bracket release so they are trying to make this into a made for TV event of their own for an entire day. Which is why I don't watch ESPN anymore except for the games.The timeline is exhausting. I realize that bowls need time to make their moves, but show starts at noon, then they don't announce playoff 4 until 12:30. Then they don't announce the rest of the Top 25 until 2? That 90 minutes is unnecessary.
How many people are really watching all of that talk with the NFL on?
I agree ESPN is terrible but they paid 7.3 billion over 12 years for the playoff, NCAA probably told them for that money they can announce a team a day lol,, 202 million a game no one else is gonna buy itESPN can't have MARCH MADNESS exclusive rights bracket release so they are trying to make this into a made for TV event of their own for an entire day. Which is why I don't watch ESPN anymore except for the games.
ESPN should have come on at noon, announced the Playoff Final Four by 12:05. Then at 1pm start annoucing the rest of the bowls. And don't tell me these bowls need all this time to make their selections, they knew what they were doing yesterday based off of what was "probably gonna happen" ...if Oklahoma makes the playoff we take this team if its this team we take them. Book this thing doesn't need all day to be drawn out.
