Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit calling the game

This can either help our case tremendously or hurt our case tremendously. No matter right, wrong, fair, etc. Both of these guys are on the CFP selection show and if they choose to pump UT and say that we are a top 4 team and we should be in makes way too much of a difference but it does. If Fowler and Kirk push 2 loss LSU, 1 loss USC, or 1 loss OSU/Mich for 4 hours, it will unfortunately be put into the subconscious of most viewers and that includes human beings on the actual joke of a committee. Just my two cents.

Side note- How does the AD of Michigan get on said committee. Can we not have Danny White be the tie breaking vote if it comes down to it? Is there really an algorithm to this or is it just who this committee picks the day after the conference championships are over?

The Michigan AD is on the committee???? I'm not super read up on the committee and how it functions but in my basically worthless opinion, I don't think any current AD should be on it.

Maybe I dreamt it up in my sleep but I swear I heard it somewhere.

I mean they’ll be calling our game. If our guys play like we’re expecting, then they’ll probably be singing our praises for 3 hours. Not sure it means much in the grand scheme though.

Last game they called, Herbie needled Chris to commit to saying something to the tune of Tennessee is a national contender. That guy, just couldn't say it. He got roasted for the trailer comment and I'm sure that roasting only made his inner self hate us more. He can fake it to a degree with his fake enthusiastic voice he uses on big plays though.

Herbie gets to pick the game from what I’ve heard, so he chose to see us play again. That means something imo and to have the ESPN night game. Should have a lot of eyes watching.

I actually think Herbstreit likes Tennessee, just not a lot of the fans. I remember he'd be on the radio here in the 90's glowing about Tennessee. Fowler, is another story, but I could not care less if those guys like Tennessee or not. The way it usually goes is, if a team is playing well, that team gets spoken of favorably. I think many times a team is getting hammered or looks bad and there isn't much to say about them that's positive, and fans get mad. Not speaking of Tennessee, but that's been my observation in general with sports.
