So, what about the ACC, who beat the SEC 6 - 4 this year. Hmm... seems like the ACC Champion undefeated despite significant hardship beating 2 SEC teams, outranks the weaker SEC champion carrying around 1 loss to Texas.
Lol jesus, its funny but you didnt think TCU would beat Mich did you..heres the thing if its all SEC only then everyone else should just stop playing them and let ESPN live out its dream....kinda wierd though the depth seems to be shrinking during this NIL period..come to find out when they can get paid legally be anyone they stop wanting to be a backup while getting paid off the books at UG or bama..hmm, listening to Kirby and ole Nick cry about losing backups to the portal in NIL makes it all worth it..
what was the veags line in the UW ORG game did they undo the result because it didnt match?
There it is again... bringing up the past to justify this year's playoff selection....
The comparison is moot bc FSU lost their QB. You want another 65-7 CFP final?
Anyone but me notice that no one can defend this year's selection by looking exclusively at this year...?
Last time I checked, football was a team sport. To quote a phrase I have seen going around:
The job of the CFP is to pick the 4 best teams. Currently , FSU is a 14 point dog to UGA. So there is no case to be made that they are a top 4 team as currently constructed. They had an opportunity to impress with their backup QBs and failed.
Bama had a chance to win every game they failed....the loss wasnt even within the "Great conference" so now what?
And no one, not the SEC, not a top 5 team in LSU could beat them. Without their QB, a top 15 team could not beat them, losing by double digits. That is a powerhouse.
Failed to impress?.... with a double digit win over a top 15 team... Yeah. Vegas has failed in the past, even up to 45.5 point underdog predictions, so a 14 point underdog is a pittance for the Seminoles, a team that shows championship heart. There is no football reason to put bama in, only a revenue reason. The job of the CFP is not to pick the "best 4 teams" as many are parroting. It's to make money for the networks, and to prop up the SEC in a down year. No SEC team deserves to be in, that's the reality of it all.... but the revenue might be hurt if they ended the Committee for Profit era ended that way.
Its funny how you won’t use specific team names and specific scores, because it doesn’t make FSU sound as tough.
So, nothing I said was incorrect. Thanks... keep letting it sink in.Its funny how you won’t use specific team names and specific scores, because it doesn’t make FSU sound as tough.
Folks. That “top 15 team” is #14 Louisville, and “losing by double digit points” is 10 points.
You know you’ve lost an argument when you claim that beating Louisville 16-6 makes you a powerhouse.
The claim that beating Louisville 16-6 makes them a powerhouse was “incorrect”.
The Noles beat them with their defense and a 3rd string QB, and yes, as you confirmed just now... double digits is the correct way to describe that. That takes more than one player, it takes a team.
What truly is a joke is any notion that the Big 12 is a legitimate football conference.
Also, Alabama won by only 3 points, 24 to 21 against UNRANKED Arkansas who went 1-7 in conference. That game was AT HOME, with their STARTING QB.
That was the key to all of this. 55 yards passing for the entire game wasn't going to give voters confidence. I remember back in the day when Ohio State had their backup (Cardale Jones) they knew the only chance they had to get in was destroy Wisconsin in the championship game and they did (59 to 0).
And to be honest if that had been Alabama's final game (same with the Auburn game) then they would of not been selected. Timing has always been a gigantic factor in these late season rankings.
