Why is Bama not getting respect from ESPN??

Question

ESPNNEWS showed like 10 seconds of highlights from Bama beating #9 clemson, and showed highlight after highlight of Ohio State, Georgia and LSU beating up on Football Championship Subdivision opponents.....I guess OSU beating Youngstown is bigger...... well wheather ESPN likes it or not, it may not be this year, but in the next couple of years, ESPN will HAVE to show Bama love

Answer 1

because Bama isn't in the east coast, didn't win a national championship within the last three years. get used to it ESPN shows way to much East coast garbage

Answer 2

They get no love from ESPN, because Nick Saban shows ESPN no love.

Answer 3

Because their fans are delusional and obnoxious.

Answer 4

the fact is, although bama has had plenty of opportunity to step up to the plate over the last couple of years, we haven't seemed to be able to get our stuff together ever since the "no bowl" fiasco. not that i am saying that is solely to blame, but a major factor in the whole mess. but you are right. considering a #24 team beat a #9 team, it should be all over the place. maybe this is what they expected anyway? shows where the loyalty is.

Answer 5

They're an SEC team.  ESPN only shows respect to Tennessee, Florida, and sometimes LSU out of the SEC.  ESPN loves the SEC as a conference, but when it comes to the individual teams, they don't really care for most of them.
