If ESPN has anything to do with it an undefeated Bama team would not play for the NC over Penn State.  I am not saying that we will go undefeated.  In fact, I will not be overly suprised if we lose 2 games.  Texas may also stumble with Tech this weekend.  But ESPN is clearly pushing PSU even though they have the easiest road.  Their only quality win was over Ohio State and that was a close game.  The same OSU team that got killed by USC.  Last night we (the no. 2 team in the nation) got about 15 sec worth of highlights while Texas and PSU got a ton of attention.  ESPN has also been playing this Joe Pa thing up like crazy.  Its all about ratings and lets face it.  PSU, Texas, USC, etc. are all in bigger markets.  Saban is also no media darling.  Ultimately I care about SEC championships but I do find the ESPN agenda interesting.
