The old saw about going to war with people who buy ink by the barrel is true for radio and it's one of the most irritating things about Herbstreit's time in Columbus, so I'm not doing it myself. I'm off twitter and they don't post an e-mail address.
Two things: Jeremiah Smith was not a consensus All-American his freshman year. Bishop states this about 3 times a week. I'm not arguing he shouldn't have been. Just fact.
SMU is not a good school and nowhere near the profile the B1G would have any interest in. 88 in US News. 25% business, management, marketing undergrads. UG student body of 7,500.
Just because something*seems* true to you doesn't mean it's true.
