squeezing by Auburn? Or, not ask him how Alabama didn't drop in CFC rankings after getting blown out by Georgia and only producing 3 yards on the ground. Or how the narrative presented by ESPN was always about Miami versus Notre Dame when the narrative should have been about Alabama versus Notre Dame. Or how McIlroy could say Alabama was definitely in and then in the next breath say Notre Dame would have been one of his two favorites to win the national title. I like McIlroy he has always been fair to Notre Dame until he got the message from ESPN/SEC to say Alabama was definitely in IMO.
I do think the SEC is the strongest conference but they definitely passed the message to SEC who then thought up narrative to ESPN and possibly the committee that they feared ND this year.
