Tim Brando BASHES ESPN College Football Show

[@chuckwest7045]

Funny to hear about Brando talking about the "good old boys from the South." He's from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

[@AmIBeingDetained123]

Sounds like he knows what he’s talking about then

[@chuckwest7045]

@@AmIBeingDetained123 He's correct about some things. Not about others. He's in love with the sound of his own voice.

[@jaesunsturkie7674]

It's sad what Tim Brando has become. He talks about others just saying things for the shock value. That is pretty much all he has done. He is just hating on espn and a lot of other broadcasters bc espn wouldn't put him out there. Sour grapes. As far as automatic qualifiers, it's not all good. They are not trying to get certain teams in, they are trying to get the best teams in. It is all about money and nobody wants to see another bloodbath in the season's most important games.

[@tmoney7643]

Funny, never heard Brando calling out Saban when Saban would prop up the SEC 🤔

[@JamesPuckett-k5c]

Saban advocated for his team (like every coach does); the SEC has needed no "propping up", National Championships have proven that. This year, there are as many as 6 contenders in the conference. We will see how that shakes out.

[@crimsonkings205]

Saban only advocated for his team, just like every other coach.

[@tmoney7643]

Saban is on record, several times, even this year, saying the conferences are not even and the SEC is the toughest conference to play in. But yeah, ok.

[@mr.g1758]

Because the SEC is the SEC...

[@JamesPuckett-k5c]

​@@tmoney7643 He's not advocating for the conference, he's stating fact. It's no different than saying "the sky is blue", it's obvious, not advocacy. Again, National Championships have proven that statement over the last 15-20 years. No other conference is close, it's not even debatable.

[@3brownn3]

Tim Brando talking about "substance" on a broadcast is absolutely hilarious given the product he throw's out every week

[@CuddleBuddee]

[@patbrooks9823]

I agree with Brando. It's beyond stupid to have weekly discussion shows over every single poll release. Wait til the final poll is released, then discuss.

[@ObiWanShinobi67]

It's all for ratings and clicks. You have to admit, it is pretty entertaining.

[@mr.g1758]

I think they could have a poll before the final one, maybe three at most, but worthless to put these out with so much yet to play. The match ups are going to change every week.

[@915relias]

ESPN needs to stop creating hypothetical brackets. Just discussed the top 12. Miami, Oregon, Texas and Boise may very lose in there conference championship games if not before.

[@matthewchristensen2490]

👍 agree

[@joshuaclark3414]

When you have teams with strength of schedules in the 100s and they’re in front of an 8-2 Georgia team who has more ranked wins than the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked teams combined………there’s some BS happening. There are other issues but I’m a UGA guy so I use them as an example.

[@evskii.]

I'm a Bama fan and am of the firm opinion that the national champion will either be Bama, GA, or Ole miss. IU should be out unless they lose by 7 or less to OSU. ND should be out, Penn state should be out, we need to remove auto bids, and if TX loses to A&M they should be out This auto bid system is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Winning a conference DOES NOT mean you're a competitive team on a national stage. BYU, Miami, Boise, etc would all get dog walked by 10 SEC teams

​@@beachwineguytry and make a case that Boise is better than Georgia. Please try... Georgia would embarrass that team....

[@michaelcreekmore9534]

so I listened to that whole segment, and I never took from it that JG was saying that Indiana should bench their qb against Ohio State. He was simply saying that a qb injury can be enough to ruin a team that otherwise has the record to get in, ESP if that team is already considered "soft" bc of strength of schedule.

[@lhtsnakes1]

This is ridiculous. How can you all be so blind to the point Galloway was making? How can you sit here and say the CFP ranking is corrupt while simultaneously not understanding the reason why Galloway made a hyperbolic point?? Obviously he doesn't think Indiana should bench their starting QB in their biggest game of the year, but he's being hyperbolic to demonstrate how ludicrous the ranking process is. How is that lost on y'all? Not to defend the phony nature of ESPN shows, because they are phony and largely trash, but to try and dunk on Galloway who was making a hyperbolic statement to make a legitimate point, is just ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself for being this unintelligent to not understand what he was trying to say. His analysis about Indiana was spot on, and his criticism of the CFP was also spot on. Please use your brains.

[@bobbydobbs6125]

So sorry Tim had to become the angry old uncle

[@worldstallestdrummer]

in my humble opinion, the problem will always exist as long as strength of schedule is so insanely variable. miami would be 6-4 with UGAs schedule. we will never have a good playoff or season ending as long as some teams play high schools all season and other teams are playing stud squads over and over

[@SasukeUchiha-qh4cf]

Kirby is right. All these big 10 people, kid who playedish at Michigan bc no one wanted him … doesn’t want to hear… the sec is better… when your job is sports I think you would want people to schedule more good games… but if you grade a indi or penn st of uga I’m sorry you would all pick uga over half of those big 10 teams if your wife’s life depended on it and you know it… so Kirby isn’t whining he’s just trying to save y’all from when nick said if u make these rules ok ill get be this qb and lane… why should uga open with the ducks or Clemson or whoever if it only increases injury and there is no upside ?

[@avamarlow5989]

[@Michael_Chandler_Keaton]

4 team playoff was peak college football. Should have left it alone. Never gonna please everybody, but what separates CFB is that teams that have no business competing for the big championship at the end, don't sneak in.

[@Field_Marshall]

Yes you pretty much sums up my argument

[@andyinoregon]

At 9:00 Tim makes the best defense of Indiana -- the eye test of how they looked demolishing Nebraska in Bloomington, 56-7. Just one week later, much higher-ranked Ohio State would trail that same Nebraska team in the 4th quarter in Columbus, before winning 21-17.

[@CuddleBuddee]

Bad take 😂

[@SteadyWaters]

was here in '92 and Alabama never bitched about the SEC championship, but Spurrier did every year. And this is why the other conferences added a 9th game, bc it was so successful.

[@CuddleBuddee]

Indiana exposed as not on the same level as the elite teams. However, they might still get a playoff berth by default.

[@RSeaker]

With the Big10 capturing the top four media markets, ESPN is scrambling.

[@twinstalkitup]

[@adamsanders2270]

As a Sooner fan I have observed accusations that the problems with the post season has always been about jealousy, but the fact is it is the moving goal post. The only reason BCs and playoffs were institutionalized were to remove ambiguity from the process and it seems to be the case that it is actually more ambiguous now.

[@JamesPuckett-k5c]

Not a bad take, and you are correct that expanding the playoffs hasn't solved anything. Congrats on the Sooner win this past weekend, pretty sure our collective butts are still hurtin' from that whoopin'!

[@EmperorHadrian-k3s]

I’m old enough to remember teams going undefeated with major conference wins and it not being enough to win a national championship because a bunch of faceless sportswriters took a vote. This is an immense improvement

[@scottjackson163]

Alabama moved up to # 7 not because they beat Mercer but because teams ahead of then lost.

Brando's.comments on Indiana staying with OSU did not age well. Credit for making the comment ahead of the game, but while they won a lot of games going away, they really weren't tested until they played Michigan's defense. Writing on the wall at that point.

[@kilepesic4027]

So much dramatization about nothing. And your opinion should weight more just cause you say it? There are opinions, and people disagree. And that's fine. There are legitimate criticism that more and more people are voicing their opinion over. For example, The Conference champions must be in the first 4 spots thing,... That set up gotta go. And I suspect that will go, as people realize this makes no sense. Bottom line, people disagree and that's ok. Let's talk and decide what's the best. No need to make drama out of your opinion being different than other people's opinions.

[@EmperorHadrian-k3s]

Comparing the perennial cellar dwellers of Big 10 to SEC schools that are having down years is absurd. If you put Florida or Arkansas in the Big 10 and give them Indiana’s schedule i can easily see them being 10-0.

We all know who the best teams are. I'm not a fan of the automatic bids. If BYU would have got in they would have been smoked.

[@danthehorn]

I know you need ratings but you will be happier if you looked at the play off field the way I look at it. I have been of the opinion that if you are not one of the best 8 teams in the country then you do not deserve to be in a playoff. The thing I liked about the 12 team playoff is that 4 teams were filler and anyone outside of the last four had as much argument as last 4 to make it into the playoff which is none since the last 4 should not even be an option so who cares. So the BIG XII, ACC and GROUP of 5 take a spot even though they are outside the top 12 fine let them have their fun. You think you were the 9th best team in the country but did not get in since the committee thought someone else was the 9th best team do better next time. Bottom line I agree with Saban the top 5 or 6 teams with a realistic chance to win it all are always going to make it into the play off.

Casual fan alert! They were gifted the softest schedule the conference could muster. They've played one legit team and got their asses handed to them.

When they say sec being tough, it is because of the mid to high tier teams. Texas dominate 3 lower tier n a weird gator. They barely win against mid tier and they definitely lose to high tier ga. That is not dominating the sec.

[@evskii.]

Dude you are totally clueless if you believe any of this. There are 10 teams in the SEC that would either straight up win every other conference or come in 2nd in the BIG10. If the SEC isn't the best by far, why are the vast majority of people drafted from the SEC? How many national titles does the SEC have the last 20 years compared to other conferences? How many different SEC teams have won those titles? You live in a land of delusion if you honestly think the SEC isn't by far and away the best conference. Hell 15 out of the 16 SEC teams are top 50 teams in the JP poll, care to guess how many of the BIG10 teams are in the top 50?
