I haven't had much of a chance to listen to the talking heads yet but I assume they are referring to Alabama's near loss at home to a bad LSU team as a "HARD FOUGHT CONFERENCE BATTLE!"

People still touting Florida as a "good win" for Bama is hilarious too
The classic "they were ranked high at the time!" ploy......then said team proves they were just comically overrated in preseason and finishes like 6-6
I know complaining about this shit is like a broken record but its so predictable you just have to laugh.

It's just maddening though that more people across the country aren't getting loud enough about this crap to make a difference. Otherwise wipe the entire media industry completely out and start all over. Second thought, let's just do that anyway

They definitely take advantage of knowing that a lot of their viewers are probably just more casual fans outside of the specific team they follow.
The types that see the names LSU and Florida who have been decent-good for the most part the last 20 or so years and automatically think "Oh yea that must be a good win"

College Football Playoff Rankings prediction: Ohio State slides into top four after Michigan State upset
1. Georgia
Georgia's roll shows no signs of stopping. The Bulldogs throttled Missouri, 43-6. This one is easy for the committee. It gets harder after this. Last week: 1
2. Alabama
The Crimson Tide struggled mightily at home with LSU but managed to hang on for a 20-14 win. Alabama rushed for only 6 yards. Do not adjust your monitor, you read that correctly. I do not think the committee would view that as running the ball effectively. Fortunately for Alabama, the teams chasing them in the rankings were not much better. Last week: 2
3. Oregon
The Ducks got a fight from Washington but came away with a 26-16 win. It was an eight-point game with just under 2 minutes to go when the Huskies snapped the ball out of the end zone on an ill-advised punt attempt. The Ducks figure to be big favorites again this week against Washington State. Last week: 4
4. Ohio State
The Buckeyes weren't sharp at Nebraska but managed a 26-17 win. Ohio State's strength of schedule gap between itself and Oregon actually widened a little this week, just not enough to overcome the head-to-head result quite yet. Purdue, the nemesis of top ranked teams this season, visits Saturday. Last week: 5
5. Michigan State
Speaking of the Spoilermakers, Michigan State became the latest top-five victim of Purdue, taking a substantial 40-29 rod loss. This does not hurt the Spartans too badly, though. A 12-1 finish would still put them in the CFP, but their margin for error is now gone. They do not figure to fall too far this week because Michigan is their floor in the rankings. Last week: 3
6. Michigan
The Wolverines spanked Indiana and that will probably be enough to push them past Cincinnati in this week's rankings. They now have a similar performance against a common opponent with the Bearcats, who also beat the Hoosiers this season. The strength of schedule difference between the two teams is enormous. Last week: 7
7. Juggalos
The Bearcats struggled to beat an opponent they should have dominated for the third straight week. No team in these rankings needs style points more than Cincinnati, but it just has not been able to muster them. To make matters worse, SMU lost at Memphis. The Bearcats end the regular season with the Mustangs but do not play the Tigers. Cincinnati does not need any more damage to its strength of schedule. It needs to turn things up on the scoreboard right now if it is serious about making a run at the top four. Last week: 6
8. Oklahoma
The Sooners looked good sitting around on their couches and watching games on TV this week. They were off in advance of an important stretch run, beginning with a game at Baylor. They play Iowa State at home after that and finish the regular season at Oklahoma State. Oklahoma can move up quickly if it keeps winning. Last week: 8
9. Notre Dame
The Fighting Irish handled Navy pretty easily, but that is just another mediocre team on what has turned out to be a disappointing schedule. Wisconsin has rallied to make Notre Dame's win over the Badgers look better, and who knows how Purdue will finish? There is not enough otherwise to make a push for the playoff. Last week: 10
10. Texas A&M
The Aggies completed the state of Alabama sweep with a 20-3 win over Auburn. They have rebounded well since the injury to starting quarterback Hynes King. Zach Calzada continues to do a great job leading Texas A&M, and it is in a good position for a run at a New Year's six game. The game at Ole Miss this week will have a lot to say about that. Last week: 14

Here's what a guy at CBS is predicting for the new CFP rankings tonight. Kind of surprised that he just dropped Sparty to only #5. The Juggalos won and still dropped a spot, scUM jumped past them.....

The comment thread of this tweet is a hilarious mess of SEC homerism
LSU is actually a "really good team"
A. They just ran into good teams and have lots of good losses
B. They will have more players in the NFL than Nebraska which automatically makes them good
and lots of accusations that Joel and Gus Johnson are trying to "talk up Nebraska" which ironically is exactly what the people making said claim are doing with a not good LSU team.
ESPN has taught their following well.
