Helmet lineup for the semifinals, pretty pretty cool.

ESPN is about as happy as they could be for a Final 4 that doesn't include an SEC team.  Host venues as well

I mean, I don't really consider Texas an SEC team either, but for the purposes of television revenue, I'm pretty sure that ESPN does.

This is a great helmet final 4 matchup, and also a pretty outstanding "Hater's Ball" of college football.  I'm not sure there are 4 teams more universally hated than these 4.  Which is absolutely fantastic for TV ratings.

There's room for more helmets on the hate train, I'm sure.

There is only one in this current list that I disdain (I don't hate).

I would wager there are a lot more folks with negative feelings about Alabama than Penn State. If I were guessing, I would throw USC into the mix for most hated as well.

Penn State's life as an independent pre-Big11, and then its failure to dominate the BigInteger has made it difficult to really hate.

Texas, Ohio State, and Notre Dame? Plenty of hate to go around.

Also, this does feel like a right and proper final four. Certainly reflects traditional powers in college football. Particularly for the midwest. :-)

Every person I know absolutely loathes Penn State for being a much of child rapists, child rapist enablers, and child rapist apologists, so I'm not sure I'd agree with you there.

I don't know anyone that hates PSU
Only Big Ten fans hate OSU
not much hate for the Horns outside the old SWC

many folks do hate the irish

Crap.  Got nothing.
