Her interview discusses the UofL-FSU game, the surprise teams (BC and GT), the "SEC Bias", the CFB Playoff, and surging Duke.

If you'd like to listen, the interview begins at 47:40.

I was surprised that she admitted to SEC Bias.

The only way to cure sec bias is for the acc to step up.

Beat the chickens, gators, wildcats and leg humpers at the end of the year.

Stop hiring subpar coaches (e.g. UNC hiring Tommy Bowden castaways).

Invest in facilities to help recruiting.

Hire proven coaches with charisma to get fans excited about football.

Take care of business out of conference. Don't schedule all cream puffs but don't play teams like Oregon unless you're a perennial top ten team.

ESPN has an SEC grad covering the ACC.


And that is the LEAST problematic of all ACC issues when it comes to the ESPN SEC bias.



THAT is how bad the ACC/ESPN situation is.



ACC football is the Big East in this new world. Over time, these coverage issues will be a huge anchor on ACC football. Thankfully, Swofford doesn't give a @#$@#.

FSU is 3-1 in last four games vs uf and 5-1 when including bowl wins over scar and aub the last several years. FSU still doesn't get the respect of some half-season wonder like miss st despite being defending champs and returning last year's heisman winner. You can't expect lesser teams than FSU to end any bias if FSU can't.

With that said, everything else you mention must happen for the acc to be respected in general. Thing is, most those schools don't care and/or don't agree with that logic. Which is odd, because it's the blueprint the sec laid out, especially in regards to scheduling.

that blueprint is right on. As a UL fan I think we are on that road, I hope others in our conference view it that way for us, and put pressure on their own program to do the same.

We finish with UK this year, decent chance playing SEC team in bowl, then open next year with Auburn in Atlanta in kickoff classic, so we have a chance to do our part.

Even though most consider Louisville in regards to athletics as a "Basketball School" we take our Football seriously and the way Tom Jurich, Bob Petrino and the Louisville Alums/Fanbase they will not settle until they are serious Title Contenders.
