Herbie really needs to work on his math skills. Anyone notice last night when he was hyping the Clemson-FSU game he was saying Clemson was #3 and FSU #6, and with the loss by #5 Stanford it set up a #3 vs. #4 showdown? Didn't he learn in kindergarten that 6-1=5? (I know, I know, he was just reading the script).

I'm sure he is assuming and pushing for F$U to pass us in the polls

Exactly. Because that's what the script calls for, and his job is to help make it happen. Integrity be damned.

I love how he calls for FSU to jump over Ohio State. 1, wasn't FSU on a bye week this week too? 2, how does FSU's bye week equate to being more impressive than Ohio State's bye? 3, how in fucks name will Clemsucks manage to stay at #3 after that laugher against Boston College?

Talking Football Road Trips With ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit
DeMarco Williams, Contributor
By the time college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit gets on the television on Saturday mornings for ESPN’s College GameDay—the on-location pregame show uses whatever campus with the week’s most intriguing game as its backdrop—the hard work is over. Most of Herbstreit’s stat crunching and game-film watching has been done long before the show airs. By the 9 a.m. start, in fact, the only thing left for him to do is toss around a few opinions with on-air teammates Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Desmond Howard. Come noon, Herbie rushes off to wherever he’s scheduled to be that night to fulfill his obligation as an analyst for ABC Sports’ primetime game.

“I live in Nashville,” begins Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback who is in the midst of his 18th year with ESPN. “[Four weeks ago], I went from Nashville up to North Dakota, down to Austin, back to Nashville. [Then the week after], I [went] to Columbus [Ohio] to Athens [Ga.], back to Columbus and then back to Nashville.” We’ve got jet lag just from listening to the guy.
Of course, the other side to the seemingly endless hours on planes and the long days on set is being around football fans. And thanks to an exciting new partnership with Allstate, that winning relationship is only going to get better. The Ultimate Road Trip Sweepstakes is the opportunity of a lifetime for one sports fan and three guests to watch the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans with Herbstreit, win tickets to the VIZIO BCS National Championship in Pasadena, Calif. and receive the keys to a new 2014 Buick Enclave. Herbstreit recently took a timeout to talk to our Forbes Travel Guide editors about must-visit stadiums, the best places for tailgating and living out of a suitcase.
Your travel schedule is incredible. How in the world do you stay alert and wide-eyed through all of this?
Man, I think it’s two things: I think it’s adrenaline, No. 1; and I think it is the love for the sport, No. 2. Those are the two things, because I have four children and, in the months of March, April or May, if I was asked to go to sleep at 1 in the morning and wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning [like I do during football season], I’d feel like a truck ran me over. If I’m not in my normal work mode, I might go to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m.
During the season, how does a typical week of preparation work out?
