ESPN is at it again. The show "The Experts" on ESPNU yesterday spent hours trying to sort out who would go to the BCS title game. Instead of evaluation of players and teams or a dissection of the season, these talking heads just focused on who would pass Boise and which undefeated BCS conference team was the best. It is the same conversation they had last week but they all thought Alabama was the best team then. There was absolutely no conversation on conference races or evaluations of the teams. With Michigan State moving up the ranks they spent time on them this week that they did not last week. But except for a mention of the QB Kirk Cousins and LB Greg Jones, the team was described as tough like their coach Mark Dantonio. But they were tough last year when they opened the season 1-3 so more analysis is warranted. The Spartans have been recruiting better of late and one of their top signees is RB Edwin Baker, who has rushed for 683y. Their leading rusher last year was Larry Caper with only 468y. So, clearly, that is a difference and worthy of more discussion than we get from "The Experts".
So ESPN can focus on projecting teams for January and SMQBs can give you some analysis.
