I think a big problem with GameDay is just the lack of ESPN credibility these days. Even as recently as 10 years ago, what the folks on GameDay, and ESPN as a whole, were saying about your team carried weight. I used to tune in all the time to see what was being said about Tennessee.
I don’t know if it’s due to the budget cuts or the layoffs or what, but they just don’t seem to have a great grasp on 90% of teams out there. Just the Top 5 or so.
If you really want to know what’s going on with your team, ESPN is the last place you should look. You can get way more info, and far more accurate info, on the fan sites.
