The CFP committee could not exclude the SEC champ...and as such could not exclude Texas, either....bummer for FSU.
Bama should be in
- Thread starter cyrizzle
- Start date
I agree. Didn’t Bama struggle mightily against USF? Didn’t Bama get handed the win against AU? Didn’t Bama lose to UT? But they’re one of the best teams in the country and more deserving than FSU? Bullshit nonsense. Again, it’s all about money. I rest my case.
Why couldn’t they exclude the SEC champ? Why is the SEC champ “guaranteed” a spot in the playoff? Oh, that’s right, because of their contractual relationship with ESPN….nothing more and nothing less.
And you're entitled to that opinion but winning the ACC over Louisville isn't impressive. Not all concerned titles are equal
You watch too much ESPN. It’s obvious. You’re regurgitating their nonsense. Original thoughts are appreciated here.
We can go round and round on this, but L'Ville was averaging over 30 points a game. FSU held them to 6. According to committee, QB is everything and when FSU starting QB went down, they were out.
Would have been really interesting if GA won, and the Committee put TX ahead of FSU. But why didn't they drop FSU below GA and OSU?
Looks like SEC bias.
The whole process is always rigged. Eye test or whatever you want to call it is complete BS. So a 1 loss Bama is better than a 0 loss FSU but a 2 loss PSU is worse than a 1 loss OSU who they beat head to head. If they don’t want to make it this subjective BS then come up with 100% firm guidelines and what the priority of those are. They won’t because they want the ability to pick and choose as they see fit which means they want it to be biased, it’s the legacy of college football.
Thank you! It wasn’t about a UL garbage offense. It was about a damn good FSU defense showing up. But that narrative wasn’t allowed to be talked about on the airwaves so every CFB fan regurgitated the nonsense about UL offense being garbage to further discredit FSU and to pave the path for today’s outcome. People get programmed too easily.
Louisville lost to PITT and Kentucky. I give their defense credit but that's not enough to be one of the best 4. No one that watched FSU yesterday can say that's an elite team but Bama looked elite.
How are they not dominant? I don't need ESPN to tell me anything. They win in the playoffs.
They have been, I’m not disputing that. But this year….not so much.
That'd great. I'm all for a much larger playoff. Too bad it wasn't 12 this year. FSU might lose to Liberty.
Yet they have 4 of the top 11 teams?
The past does matter. Do you think Bama wins the title now?
Earlier in the year I would agree with you but isn't FSU down to their 3rd QB which is the most important position on the field. The committee goes with the 4 best CURRENT teams and that killed FSU
I agree. I think it’s a crime to keep them out of the playoffs.
I wouldn't root for Michigan if they were playing against a Russian All Star team.....
Sounds like your biased against them--Booger said the same thing on ABC last night--is ABC also blocked?
Do you have the internet--you can read it there too
I don’t read the alphabet agencies predictive programming. I encourage original thought. Not mindless regurgitation.
Okay…what sports anchor applauded FSU for good coaching and solid defense in the face of adversity when their QB was injured?
How many of them argued FSU should be in because defense wins championships?
Who is to say FSU couldn't have found a way to beat any team like they have demonstrated all season and especially the last two games? At end of day, it is subjective. Gives us fodder to discuss.
Just why the 4 team playoff is dumb when you have more than 4 Power 5 conferences. Should have been 6, 8 or 12 some time ago, but at least it will be next year. The fact that conference champions continually are left out shows how dumb this system is.
Ask anyone who watched the announcement show. You won't go to ESPN to watch it supposedly.
Herbie talked about how great of a year FSU had, how Norvell deserves credit for winning with adversity but they aren't a top 4 team.
They’re talking heads who get paid to say what they say with a caveat attached. They’ll never support their argument with affirmation that FSU was screwed and should have been given the opportunity to prove themselves on the field. They support their argument in alignment with companies they represent.
