Yep it sure does. I would just love to see our fans right now if the roles would have been reversed but then again, a 13-0 LSU even with a hurt Daniels still gets in the playoffs because you aren't leaving out the #1 team. So, it's really a moot point.

12 team playoff can't get here soon enough. Georgia has just as big as a gripe. Had a 29 game win streak, back to back NC and lost in the SECCG and they're out.

It's all Bama/SEC-serving and here's why...FSU got hosed because bama beat UGA. Had UGA won, FSU is in over UT. With UGA losing you can't put bama in with FSU and leave UT out because of the head to head with bama so this is what you get. They fall back on the injury excuse and pass over an undefeated P5 conference champ for 2 1-loss teams.

I was never a believer in SEC bias because we have been head and shoulders better than everyone for decades now, however it's hard to deny it after yesterday!

Who gives a shite. You're not supposed to make your decisions based on that. What's the point of playing the games then?

Is it the Bama team that played Georgia or the bama team that played Auburn?

I would think Georgia would still be favored over at least 3 of the playoff teams if they were playing on a neutral field tomorrow. If they used the 4 best resumes, fsu should be in. If they use the four teams they think are best, Georgia should be in. I don't know what criteria they used

That FSU D ain't giving Milroe 10 seconds per play to stand in the pocket like everyone else.

Not saying FSU would win but it would be a much closer low low scoring game!

Bama needed a Hail Mary prayer to beat a team with first year coach that got waxed by New Mexico State the week before.

You don't know wtf would happen. At all.

So why don’t we just let the Vegas oddsmakers decide the college football playoff?


Hell yeah let's put Oregon in the 4-team playoff too! We all know that they are truly better than Washington because they were favored against them twice!

Everybody that assumes FSU would lose to all of the top 6 teams are biased and think they all know best. Probably the same morons that assumed Oregon would walk all over Washington.

FSU has a great defense that can keep them in the game with anybody. Their backup QB will be back with a month to practice with the 1s.

This all makes me want to puke. Bama should have lost to Auburn, and probably would've lost to UGA if the cheating officials would've stopped to review the "catch" late 1H in SECCG. But the media and committee only pay attention to the "facts" that are convenient to their bias.

It destroys all objectivity. Now, the committee can use all kinds of subjective bullshite to justify allowing bluebloods in over more deserving teams.

The seeding in years to come with be total dog shite.

No one would be arguing for Texas b/c they lost a game to a lesser opponent. But to get an SEC team in, they had to give it to the SEC champ (Bama). And to put bama in, they had to put Texas in front of bama.


Tbh, I thought they’d put UGA at 4 to sidestep it due to how far below Bama was.

There is only one solution for then. Put all the chips into the middle of the table and join another conference.

With their starting QB.

FSU wins two games despite losing their star QB.

FSU absolutely should be in over Alabama, this is nothing but subjective bullshite that will hurt us in the future.

If we are going power rankings, then Georgia should be in.

Power rankings is a horrible way to fill out a bracket.

Thats subjective.

Do you want the committee doing that to us in the future?

The committee said clearly that objectivity has no place in the discussion, and they will pick who they think, not who should be playing.

Its in the guidlines that the committe use for consideration. An injury to a key player is part of the criteria.

They had 2 games to show they were still a top 4 team and they struggled. Sure they won but they didn't look top 4 doing it.

In most other years, they still would have gotten in, they just so happened to struggle down the stretch in a year with 2 other undefeated teams and 4 very good one loss teams.

If FSU is allowed in the playoff then Michigan gets a free pass in the playoffs which, imo, is worse for the sport than leaving out an undefeated team that clearly isn't nearly as good without their starting QB.

Bama struggled vs a team that lost to N. Mexico State. With their starting QB.
