Don’t tell Kirk Herbstreit that ESPN has a biased towards the SEC. On Monday, the popular ESPN college football analysts went on a Twitter rant defending ESPN against the notion that it favors the SEC.

ESPN spent its first day of training camp coverage at Ohio State, the defending national champions, leading Herbstreit to say that the only biased the sports network has is towards winners.

I thought @espn only cared about the SEC?? Weird their first day of camp coverage is at Ohio St.?! ?. So much for that tired conspiracy!

Can you imagine if the B1G won SEVEN straight National Titles the amount of coverage the B1G would receive?! https://t.co/8kftH8qvIw

Again-Obviously-That's why the SEC received so much coverage from 06-12. They won 7 straight titles. That's my point https://t.co/4NwDFMZstA

No, just think people need to recognize Natl coverage is directly related to winning. That's why OSU everywhere now https://t.co/xXj4PcTksw
