are like that on a CFP championship scale; and who can blame them? Until they start losing more than one game per season (if that) they will continue to be the solitary semi-pro team in all of college football.

And I'm tired of Alabama.

My blue goggles blame it on geography, but I think conference affiliation (or lack thereof) is also part of it

You’re nice. I would have attributed it to the hosts being not very smart.

I’m guessing these guys likely also believe that any team not in the SEC are almost akin to the G5. Anyone that likes

Doubtful, because they are kind of GaTech homers

krindorr

Well, then they should realize that there are at least half of the G5 teams that are better than GaTech. Tech blows and

I'm definitely not saying they're smart - just sharing what it is being said in this area

They probably suffer from battered Bama syndrome. It's silly to even act like...

Looking at it more, I think it's just that the other 3 have had recent major bowls against ACC/SEC opponents

SEC folks are pretty insular in my experiences

Being in Atlanta they also are ACC insular, but yeah

Not here in Bama of all places. I've talked BYU football with tons of ppl.

Sounds to me like they need to get out more and follow the sport more closely

Completely agree - though in fairness, all the big stories you mentioned are P5 stories

In the heart of SEC country you're surprised that they look down on anyone else?

Wouldn't have mentioned it at all, except that yesterday I'd pointed out that this area is so insular

Sports-talk radio hosts are just as dumb and ill informed in big cities as they

They’re still recovering from the curb stompings we gave Ga Tech.

If they don’t even know who the ‘4th team’ is, they clearly aren’t well informed

Agreed, they should know better; they get wider distribution than guys in a basement podcast though

What do we care that we're not known by a couple of chowder heads in Atlanta?
