re: Let’s not forget FSU beat both LSU and Florida in ooc

Anytime you beat a rival at their place matter what the records are it’s a good win- signed Bama nation

Who didn’t beat Florida?

Now imagine if it happened to Bama .

Last year.

Think Bama, or the stinking Vols weren’t better than TCU? Yeah, neither does anyone else. But TCU was the “most deserving” so they got in.

So if you really want to blame someone for this, blame TCU for the worst performance in the playoffs we ever saw. Georgia punted once the entire game. The backups scored twice and were driving for a 3rd when they took a knee.

Nobody wanted to see that again, and on the biggest stage they had all season FSU’s offense was so bad they had one good play that was a wildcat run by the rb. Outside of that they averaged 2.3y per play. And Louisville’s defense isn’t what you’d call stellar.

Another post listed this past weekends tv audience numbers. Acc had 7 million, second was pac 12 with around 10 million. SEC had 18 million viewers.

I did not see the post. Out of curiosity...did they list the numbers for the B1G?

Not related to the topic at all, but you're going to single-handedly make a lot of fans hate OU fans more than they otherwise would have because you're such a bad poster

2-0 vs sec

That's the 5th highest ranked team in the SEC and one of the 4 worst teams in the SEC.

Alabama went 9-0 against the SEC.

Swap Alabama and FSU's schedules WITH TRAVIS all season and Alabama goes 13-0 while Florida State goes 11-2. 13-0 = 13-0 12-1 > 11-2

Alabama always has one of the top 4 rosters, so they should always look like one of the four best teams.

---

But you can't go by top 4 rosters....or Texas A&M would be in it. You have to do a combination of talent and results. For me, Alabama filled the criteria. So did FSU, Washington, Michigan and Texas. An argument could be made for Ohio State as well, to be honest.

The go down to strength of schedule. But that can be subjective, too. It's just the one year that the committee was in a lose/lose situation. Most, if not all, the other years it was fairly cut and dried. Just not this year.

But, on what do you base yours statement? Because they beat UGA last weekend? Because it took a miracle to beat dog shite Barn the week before?

---

Which team in the playoffs did not struggle against an inferior team?

Michigan struggled against maryland
Washington struggled against Arizona State and Washington State
Texas got beat by Oklahoma and struggled against Houston and TCU
FSU struggled against Boston College and Miami

So, you can't just pick one school and look at struggle wins unless you talk about all of the struggle wins for everybody.

I mean, Alabama beat the two time National Champions who were undefeated and ranked #1. Which of the teams had a better win?

I do think the committee got it right including Bama, with the win over UGA that propelled them

The final spot should have come down to Texas and FSU
A zero loss ACC team with two sec wins should have gotten FSU in over Texas in my opinion and if you look at AP and Coaches polls they agree. That OU loss should have kept Texas out despite the Bama win. They gave Texas way too much credit for the Bama win.

On top of that you had UGA and Ohio St on the outside looking in who were penalized for having to play two top teams late in the season.

Interconference records usually mean little without knowing the matchups.
Tell us what you expect happens if (assuming there are 10 teams)

SEC #1 vs ACC #10 - SEC Win
SEC #2 vs ACC #9 - SEC Win
SEC #3 vs ACC #8 - SEC Win
SEC #4 vs ACC #1 - ACC Win
SEC #5 vs ACC #2 - ACC Win
SEC #6 vs ACC #3 - ACC Win
SEC #7 vs ACC #4 - ACC Win
SEC #8 vs ACC #5 - ACC Win
SEC #9 vs ACC #6 - ACC Win
SEC #10 vs ACC #7 - ACC Win

ACC is 7-3 just based on matchups dipshit. Swings the other way as well.
