Herbstreit is great on gameday with all the others...just hope this temporary dip into Clemson fandom is a minor blip

Strangely, before the game when Herbie was on ESPN panel beside Coach Saban. He said the ACC was inferior to the SEC and Clemson doesn't have to play against very good competition and ended it with "And I've got two kids who go there." Then gets in the game and begins basically cheering for Clemson. I think his dad emotions got the best of him during the game. He was more objective before and after the game. Hence the below tweet.

Some incredible stats following last night:
- Alabama or LSU has won 8 of the last 17 natties.
- Over the last 14 years, the SEC has played for the national title 15 times.
- Five different SEC teams have played for a national title in the last 12 years. Four of them have won one.

And Herbstreit added this:

"Well the “overrated” @sec is at it again-Finished 9-2 in post season play & won the Natty. Thank goodness the officials, opposing coaches/players & somehow even announcers helped them pull off this feat. It’s now up to the @nfl draft to keep the bias going in April.

No, he was fired in September of 2016.

Maybe I'm missing something but, IF he was fired Sept 2016, those kids from 2016 and 2015 are juniors and seniors this year. Right?

He does not get credit for the kids in the 2016 class - he left 3 months before they signed. Only the 4th/5th year players are his. Not many of those.
