And yet, the No. 1 team is Michigan.

So? That’s the argument.. that being undefeated “matters”. It doesn’t. Its situation …

I agree. That’s why being “undefeated“ doesn’t matter. FSU is undefeated against a competitor group that is sub 500. THAT matters.

Sure! But being undefeated isn’t a criteria. FSU agreed to the very system they now despise. Ok, fine. It does suck. But they signed on. And they are hating on everyone.. the ACC, the CFP, the NCAA. Not a great plan. But … not up to me. But they are running out of friends.

So did Liberty.

I’ve always respected your posts. Still, this isn’t new. I can remember the politicking for ratings in the 60s. I still think it’s good advice. Stop dissing your competitors and work on improving your product.

It has been since the days of Johnny Vaught.

Fair. In full disclosure.. I don’t think Bama should’ve gotten in. But … 1. FSU won 13 games against opponents who posted a net losing record. Bama didn’t. 2. FSU is acting like children. Suing the ACC, suing the NCAA, striking out at everyone… does not earn you friends. They are VERY...

I’ll bite. The number one school in terms of fan viewership is Ohio State. But does the SEC want its product promoted? Sure. SEC schools cooperate across schools. Others don’t. Explained to me, (example), say Alabama is playing @ Texas A&M. The AD at A&M becomes an extension of Alabama. Need...

Regardless of the SEC, Phillips had the opportunity to get to an expanded playoff THIS year. He blocked it. Otherwise, FSU was in.

You can thank Jim Phillips for blocking the playoff expansion. This all goes away next year … finally. I’m still looking forward to seeing some great games.

Today is what happens when you have 6-7 good teams and 4 playoff spots. It will be similar for the 13th team next yea. I’m curious though. How exactly is the SEC “controlling“ the process? The roster for CFP is the following folks: Retired, former head football coach and director of athletics...

Wasn’t the ACC one of the conferences that voted against expanding the playoff this year? Karma.

How do you explain Cincinnati then?

I don‘t think that’s an issue. Only 1 member is affiliated with the SEC. I think there are 3 or so affiliated the ACC. This reminds me of Auburn’s 1983 team. The team capped an 11–1 season, with a 9–7 victory over 3-loss Michigan in the Sugar Bowl. Auburn had played the toughest schedule in the...

Lots of debate. My brother went to FSU, so the family is split. FSU was 13-0 against teams with a combined record of 77-79. Alabama went 12-1 against teams with a combined record of 98-61. My vote was Alabama, especially if you look at the record and the loss of FSU’s key players. But...

They are talking about it. They also talked how Georgia struggled against Auburn and Tech.

Yes and no. Georgia Tech fundamentally changed under Petit. It was he who focused the Experiment Station on Research, later to become GTRI. Tech is a billion dollar cash engine to the USG and they (BoR) don’t want to take their focus off that. IMO, you cannot look at Tech athletics today...

It’s not related to football, but a fun story. About 15 years ago, I was traveling in a remote of China on business. I was to meet the Managing Director of a very large factory, the largest of its kind in the world. Waiting, Mr Lee enters with an interpreter. We exchange pleasantries. The...

Paul Finebaum, a show which features Greg on a regular basis, addressed this very thing. ”As an employee, you say what you are told to say.” Finebaum, for one, has never denied that his job is to shill for the SEC.
