    Yeah I hate to put it that way… But last year with the demar Hamlin deal and then the whole Taylor swift deal this year and how overboard everything has gone with it… It just really drove home that they just want to drive a narrative that gets eyes on the screen.

    Alabama being in the college football playoffs over Florida State is the same thing for the NCAA. Saban is marketable and a household name outside of the sec. Which is why he’s on Aflac commercials… So of course bama gets into the playoffs. Marketing and views.

    Perhaps I’m just jaded, perhaps I’m wrong. But it really doesn’t feel like I am. :(
