CFP Discussion

[GT33]

Horrendous injustice. Quite fitting for $$$ driven CFB today. I won't watch a single minute.

$$ out of GT’s pocket also.

Bs about the fsu backup qb. The #2 didn't look bad, and he'd have a month of practice with the #1's, which he hasn't had all year.

What a farce.

If Alabama wanted in, they should have won all their games. They didn’t. If I were FSU and/or the ACC, litigation would ensue. This is literally costing the conference millions of dollars.

 

[stech81]

I hope ESPN goes under and takes the SEC with them

 

[stinger78]

FSU is good enough to win the conference CG with their 3rd string QB and got penalized for it.

Un Freaking Believable

Looks like FSU was expecting this outcome. Statement from the uni on being left out. Good for them for putting this out and talking about how they should be in it. They ready to burn the whole thing down and may leave the acc for good now

"For many of us, today's decision by the committee has forever damaged the credibility of the institution that is the College Football Playoff. And, saddest of all, it was self-inflicted. They chose predictive competitiveness over proven performance; subjectivity over fact. They have become a committee of prognosticators. They have abandoned their responsibility by discarding their purpose – to evaluate performance on the field."

Statement from Michael Alford, Vice President and Athletics Director, Florida State University - Florida State University

"The consequences of giving in to a narrative of the moment are destructive, far reaching, and permanent. Not just for Florida State, but college football as...

They just robbed our conference. Our representative comes from a Power 5 conference is an undefeated champion. Our conference has a winning record against the SEC.
I am not watching the semifinals or final. I'm not a noles fan, but this was against our conference.

 

[ole ball coach]

The unholy alliance between the media and this is like in politics. It’s disgusting that narratives get bent and shoved down our throats to fit an agenda.

Totally agree, SEC is the only conference that has the power of the media and politics to gain that spot. No undefeated Power 5 Conference champ should ever be denied over any 1 loss team period.

So much for results on the field. Damn if you watched the ACCCG last night how could you not want to see that D play for the title, instead you want a weak *** Sec team instead. Ohio St belonged in before them

Yes. I was looking forward to seeing how FSU’s defense would do against Washington. Washington might have still won but it would have been a different kind of game than they are accustomed to.

Guarantee, as I posted a while back, the SEC was ready to go with a lawsuit if they didn’t get in.

Hope FSU stomps Ugag's arse in a bowl game.

 

[stingerman]

That would actually provide incentive for injuries to star players…not a Pandora’s box you want to open

The Pandora’s box is open.

 

[Randy Carson]

Every member of the FSU team just got handed the ultimate participation trophy. Every player in the entire NCAA was just told, "What you do on the field doesn't really matter. We decide who wins and loses."

ACC Presidents and Coaches (and fans) should consider boycotting the entire bowl season.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Well, I can only control myself. I will not watch the bowl games other than ours. F them all.

Not going to happen but would love to see it.

College football depends on the ACC, uses the ACC, but then treats the ACC like the red headed step child.

 

[stingerman]

I’m joining the boycott. Not a single minute of any game other than ours

 

[wvGT11]

I truly believe the committee is afraid of leaving out the sec

I’m rooting for Texas to win it all and Bama to lose in the 1st rd. I’m also rooting for FSU to be the last team undefeated. How would not be able to say they aren’t national champions in that scenario?
