CFP Discussion

[stinger78]

"The committee failed college football today."

This says it all. To exclude a team that won every game in front of them - in spite of major injuries to two QB's - is a brazen reach for power. For FSU to have won their conference championship in a game with the #15 team in the country, with their 3rd string QB, finishing off an undefeated season, should have strengthened their resume. Instead, those who would minimize a loss would supplant such a team and ruin the standard which has held for over a century of college football - wins and losses matter. The point of the game is to win, and FSU won every time it lined up this year, in spite of injuries. The SEC brings many eyeballs, more than FSU's conference, and it brings money. This decision was about money, not what makes college football great. It is a truly sad day for the once proud sport.

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.

The ACC should file suit immediately.

They just killed our conference. It’s no longer a path to the playoffs.

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

And ends up being the only undefeated P5 team after the CFP. That would do more to undermine the credibility of the selection process than anything.

 

[JacketOff]

I won't be watching the playoffs. Vote with your eyes.

Unfortunately this is likely to be the highest rated playoff ever. 4 huge fanbases covering different swaths of the country. The controversy of Bama getting in is going to lead to curious eyes watching the semifinal vs. Michigan. ESPN and Disney are tanking. It’s all been a ruse to drive rankings.

This is also going to further increase the divide between FSU and the ACC, driving a very valuable asset in FSU to an even more valuable asset in the SEC. ESPN is dirty, and they just proved it for the whole country to see

Wonder if they will get some vote in coaches poll

Nah, if this was next year, fsu is auto in. I thought they would do something like this against a team like GT, but brass balls to pull it against FSU

 

[Northeast Stinger]

There are so many real things in the world to be upset about. This is just a football game. It’s childish to get wrapped up in this.

Leaving FSU out of the playoffs makes me so £0>d$@*~*¥<~\&:/@@!!! F****** %#,>€**%<!!! ~%**€€£+¥¥**%%#!!!! &@“}%^+++###%%^!!!!!!

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, makes no difference to me. I’m looking forward to some great post season ball.

Nah… this was 100% about making sure the SEC was taken care of.
If uga beats Bama, FSU is an easy #4. They didn’t have the balls to do the right thing IMO.
It’s time to call it like it is and quite simply if you’re not BiG or SEC, you don’t matter. Just let those two conf champs play for the right to call themselves national champ and drop the whole facade.

The ACC is officially relegated to G5 status

 

[eetech]

This is an absolute ridiculous decision that goes to show, once again, that college football is largely a farce.

That out of the way, FSU did kind of bring this upon themselves. The commentators in their game yesterday were also pointing out, especially at the end of the game, that FSU needed to run up the score and not just bank in the win.

Texas understood this and they played that way right from the first second of the game. FSU remarkably did not do so even at the end of the game where they had the win sealed and could easily have added 7-10 pts.

Fortunately next year you got 12 spots.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

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?

FSU is actually going to destroy whoever they play in a bowl. But the polls will lock them out of a decent ranking because they were locked out of the playoffs.

 

[eetech]

The worst part about this decision is that it reopens the possibility of Alabama beating Texas to win the championship.

As if 1 time wasn’t bad enough this pathetic selection committee wants to subject us to another meaningless game which has already been played.

 

[Jacket05]

The CFP committee last week said with their rankings that FSU was the 4th best team in the country WITH their 2nd string QB. FSU then goes and beats a top 15 team with their 3rd string QB and somehow they are now the 5th best team? Make it make sense!!

 

[southernhive]

At least the leg humpers are out. I guess their "Style Points" against Georgia Tech kept them out.

 

[stinger78]

Do you guys believe me now? Why does GT want to even be in a league controlled by the SECheat and the Big Whatever? We would NEVER get a fair shake. The "new" CFB is all about what is best for those two leagues - nothing more. Let them go off and play among themselves, then let's get back to college football.

Wouldn't have mattered. I said earlier, FSU would've had to win by 70 to even have a shot. That wasn't going to happen with a 3rd string QB.

 

[GT33]

The ACC should file suit immediately.

FSU has a large fanbase. Just wait until they slap GT.

FSU / ugag is a dream bet for me if they’re matched up. I totally agree about FSU in their bowl game - chance to go undefeated and claim a de facto natty if Texas or Bama win.

And ugag is an auto fade. Entitled spoiled team who will lay an egg in their bowl game.

FSU ML would probably be around +500 in that matchup.
