I clicked a couple of the college football previews on espn.com.

Get Startedmark schlabach struck me as the biggest SEC fanboy/shill/apologist/propagandist this year.
a 12-year-old from Zimbabwe could read a handful of other columns, glance at last years records, and provide more insight than Schlabach did
It's amazing how innaccurate the douches at ESPNsucks can be when you follow the program and sport more closely than they do and know more detail than they do.
Rittenburg, though, now there's a guy whose clearly never played a second of any contact sport whatsoever.
The look on May's face when Holtz starts going on about ND is classic. One day he is going to lose it and just slap the snot out of him.
I think the reason May gets that "shit eating grin" on his face when Holtz begins talking is because he knows what Holtz is about to say is complete and unabashed bullshit.
He knows it, Holtz knows it, Rece Davis knows it and so do the producers in the pre-broadcast meetings. Holtz stuff is pure schtick and intended to satiate the Noter Dame sucks fanbase that needs that sort of reinforcement.
Rittenburg is terrible. He knows just enough about teams to make it seem like he's smart to the millions of casual college football fans. But, as you said, anyone who follows one specific team can point out why he's an idiot when trying to analyze their team.
He ranked Denard the 6th best overall player in the big ten....6th best. Not 2, 3, 4 or 5...but 6th. He honestly believes there are 5 players in the big ten who are better than Denard.
I truly think he has some bias against Michigan. Every single year he predicts low on Michigan and then is shocked! when they are ahead of his prediction. Obviously the RR years were his most accurate years as big ten blogger but before, and since, then he's been pretty off in most things he predicts.
My only real and genuine spittake was while watching the studio show with Davis/May & Holtz, probably about 5 or 6yrs ago now.
Holtz was commenting on recruiting and said, "Noter Dame [sucks] doesnt' rebuild, they reee-LOAD!"
Yeah ...been re-loading since 1993!!
I'd say 6th best player in the conference is HIGH for Denard Robinson. Do Michigan fans truly not realize he is NOT a very good QB??
Is he the best "playmaker" in the Big Ten? Yes. But that doesn't always translate into being the best player. He single handedly lost the MSU game last year for Michigan. He is a great talent, no doubt. But he is not close to being the best overall player in the conference.
