FSU getting snubbed

Let me first start out by saying that I hate FSU, Jimbo, and most notably Jameis as much as, or more than anyone in America.
Having said that, they haven't lost a game in 2 years. They are the defending national champs. Why does it matter that they have "almost" lost some games? If you recall, Auburn in 2010 almost lost every game they played in, yet they never came up short.
Schedules are made many years in advance, and FSU had ND, Louisville on the road in an incredibly tough Thursday night atmosphere, and just beat their rival, also on the road. Style points shouldn't matter. Hell, TCU put up what, 82, and then almost lost to Kansas. Points scored on a given Saturday can differ greatly, but all that matters is that W.
They are an undefeated power 5 school and are behind two teams that have lost. Baffling and disrespectful. If I was an FSU fan I would be IRATE.
Edit: This will make some think I have an agenda, but regardless; Bama has had one tough road game all year, and they lost it. There ya go. And before you say LSU.... don't.

I would probably be upset as well if I were a FSU fan. But it sure was fun watching Kanell react.

Strength of Scheduel in the 50's. Not so surprising.

If they don't lose, they'll be there.

You are right. But they should be #1, not that it matters really, but they should have never lost the top spot

Florida State has as much or more talent than any other team in America. They haven't played like it but lets be honest Alabama hasn't either. Florida State is going to be a dangerous team in the playoff no matter where they are ranked.

2010 Auburn squeaked by a very difficult schedule.
2014 FSU is squeaking by a very easy schedule.
Being undefeated is meaningless if your competition sucks. Marshall is 10-0 and not even ranked. The fact they are undefeated means nothing because they have played a mountain of garbage.
FSU is a good, but not great, team this year. There are 4-5 teams who would be favored over them.
There are about 10-12 teams in the country who would likely be undefeated against FSU's schedule to this point.

If I was an FSU fan, I know my team just has to win out and will be in the playoffs and the Noles can hold their own with anyone in the country... basically....I wouldn't care.
To be fair, if we were still under the BCS system, undefeated FSU would permanently at #1. (which is the mindset I think you're in.)

Not saying they would be favored, but if you think there are 4 teams that can beat FSU you have no business here.

I agree FSU's schedule is weak but they are the defending national champion and they are undefeated. Thus, they deserve the shot to defend their title.

If FSU was in the SEC right now they'd be 7-5 at very best

Every word of this.
It'll only be a "snub" if they win out and are left out of the top 4.
Not that I think that's not a possibility, but you can't play the "snub" card when winning out almost guarantees they're in.

So if they did win out and sat at 3 or 4 and had to play Oregon or bama first round instead of anyone else, that's not snubbed? Please

Also, ya it depends on what you mean by getting snubbed.
Nobody on the planet thinks an undefeated FSU should be left out of the playoffs.
Any undefeated major conference team is a 100% lock for the playoffs (barring all 5 being undefeated at once catastrophe).

People are disgusted by Jameis and Jimbo. They'll get a ticket to the playoff but nobody will feel good about letting them in.

Nope.

I fully believe that Winston and some of his teammates are sandbagging the first halves. Then turning it on in the 2nd and getting away with wins.
They're too cocky and too good, and playing against bad teams with shitty depth and nowhere near the talent that FSU stockpiled.
I've been taking their opponents to cover the first half the last two weeks. Just wish the news about Jameis and his HS buddy's betting habit came out sooner in the year.

You need to watch more football. A team with the intangible ability to "just not lose" always reigns supreme

You need to get off your high horse, tbh.
