I was excited to watch the show tonight which is supposed to be about college baseball-I made the mistake of thinking they would cover some of the other 300 schools outside the 14 team SEC conference. The only time they mentioned a school outside the SEC was when they asked ex-LSU play Ben McDonald "which of these three schools has the best chance to be a national seed: UC-SB, Vandy, or Louisville?" He could not answer the question despite Louisville leading one of the nation's two best conferences by 3 games and being a consensus top 3 projected national seed while Vanderbilt is on the bubble for a national seed and UC-SB is unlikely to be a national seed unless they win out.

Literally the entire 29.75 other minutes of the show were dedicated to the SEC. Even when they showed the graph of which conferences have had the most national seeds since expansion in 1999 (the ACC and SEC are tied for first with 31), they had the SEC highlighted and only mentioned how the "SEC is in 1st with the most national seeds since 1999." The show wasn't even on the SECN but on ESPNU.

This year has been the most blatantly biased year ESPN has had toward the SEC, and tonight was icing on the cake. As bad as they are in covering college football, it is much worse when it comes to baseball.
