When it comes to the BCS (a/k/a Revenge of the Nerds), Tommy Tuberville says what everyone else is thinking.

Tuberville believes ESPN and ABC -- sister networks owned by the Walt Disney Company -- have decided they want Southern Cal to play Texas in the Rose Bowl, this season's BCS championship game.

He believes the networks are ensuring that scenario by repeatedly promoting those two programs to the exclusion of other deserving teams, ostensibly currying favor with voters who determine the championship participants.

"There are so many people (who) watch ESPN and ESPN Gameday," Tuberville said on Patrick's show Wednesday. "They do a great job, but I'm just saying the bias sometimes overcomes what I think needs to step the bounds of helping people vote. We don't have a playoff system. Therefore the way our situation works, the talent at ESPN, several people on ESPN Gameday, you never hear anything about other teams. Virginia Tech, Alabama, Georgia -- you've got a lot of unbeaten teams there. You've got to give everybody a shot."
