“Because Alabama is BETTER!!
Period! So is Texas. So is Michigan. So is Washington. So is Oregon. So is Georgia. I watch 10-15 games a week live from September-early December.”

That's great kirk. The issue is that the last 9 years who is "better" didn't matter compared to who deserved it most based on resume. Now in the last year of this format, "better" does matter and resume doesn't.
That's why people are annoyed.

FSU earned the right to be in the CFP. They beat everyone on their schedule, including the Heisman winner. Alabama did not. Texas did not. There is no logical reason for an undefeated team to be left out, except that is what the media wanted.
Might I remind you why ND was chosen over A&M years ago? "Well, we've already seen A&M play Alabama, and ND had the better overall year" ... I seem to remember Texas and Alabama playing earlier this year
Hypocritical to say the very least. Completely corrupt would be a better way to phrase it

"this despicable lunatic fringe"

I'm guessing this shite will end this year with the 12 team playoff coming up. No one is gonna cry and whine except the #13 seed

i remember in 2005 he did a 10 day countdown series on the greatest college football teams ever and it ended with USC at #1. They then lost to Vince Young

Bama all but lost to a terrible Auburn team at the end of the season. FSU could take down Bama with its backup. It’s not that far fetched.

he still doesn't explain why UGA was left out then. Nobody in their right minds thinks Wash is better than UGA, but Wash got in based on "deserve" but FSU didn't. The problem is there was no consistency in the decisions. And then FSU is #5 over UGA too, lol.

No, he doesn't.

Kirby is right that Bama is better. Plus "undefeated" is not a magic ticket.
But I can understand those who also note that being clearly better has never been a magic ticket, either.
In fact, I can respect pretty much all the angles except this lunatic one that swears the only way the comittee could have chosen Bama is money, tv, pressure, SEC, blah blah blah.
They were in a tough spot and made a hard call, staying well within their stayed criteria for doing so.

Herbstreit is a company man. His views will always reflect the status quo and/or what ESPN wants.

I find it hilarious they think ESPN is blindly carrying water for the SEC...there were 6 teams all "deserving" a spot in the final 4 but only 4 can get in. Someone was getting screwed.
All they can see is FSU - 0 losses and Alabama - 1 loss
It's deeper than that. There are CBB teams with better records and worse seeds come March and that has all to do with SOS. Who did you play...who did you beat...this isn't new.
FSU beat LSU, Clemson and Louisville. That's it. None of those wins are over "elite" teams. All of the playoff teams have at least 1 major win. FSU didn't have that.
Alabama's best win was UGA. UGA is better than any other team FSU played all year long. Bama's lone loss was to Texas. Texas is better than any team FSU played all year long.
Reddit is the worst place right now. They all think it's some grand conspiracy and the playoff bracket is just for ratings. If that were true then why did they put TCU in last year? They had the opportunity to put OSU, Mich, UGa, BAMA in the playoffs last year but didn't do it...why would they do that if it's only about ratings?
I find it funny the Florida politicians are getting involved. Demanding answers. The committee is charged with picking the 4 best teams in their opinion. All they have to say is "We thought Bama was better". That's it.

I can’t believe Herby is still arguing over this with FSU fans when I’m sure he has a couple of games to do coming up during bowl season.
Posted on 12/13/23 at 3:31 pm to tigerskin
Don’t even care anymore
Posted on 12/13/23 at 4:09 pm to tigerskin
I don’t get why people like Herbstreit he’s always been a pussy

Herbie the fool voted Oklahoma better than AU in 2004. I called him out on it at an ESPN party in New York for the Hall of Fame Banquet, Not saying AU could have beat USC but would have put a beatdown on Oklahoma like USC did.
