Yet another ESPN flub...
Seems to me like ESPN needs some new copy editors and/or researchers.

Troy at least as a nice string of OC win, while FAU is still the new kid on the block, regardless for a Nationally aired SPORT program it shouldn't NOT happen.

and ANNOUNCERS…nothing like the total lackee that was the play by play for the Luisville MTSU game…he staired right at the camera when they did a still on the building they named after coach and then called him:
"Schnellen-becker"
what a total moran…….

Does Michigan deserve equal crummy treatment now?

So wins and losses should determine whether the media get their facts straight and do their jobs ethically and accurately?

Not at all! There's no excuse for being wrong, it's just incompetence (from the "premier" sports authority, no less). However, they won't make an effort to get their facts straight until records improve. Winning absolutely affects the accuracy and attention of the media. Using your Michigan example, they changed the rules to give votes to App State in the top 25 poll after their win. They would never have changed that rule if a top team was not upset.
It's not only in college football, however. The national and Canadian coverage of the Florida Panthers, for example, is also, quite often inaccurate. Because the team has not been so great, many out-of-town analysts call for the team to trade their best players or move to a different location altogether, cite inaccurate statistics, and are totally oblivious to the actual viability of the team here. The Tampa Bay Lightning, who recently won the Stanley Cup, receive far better coverage.
Unfortunately, better teams get better coverage. It's not fair.
