I doubt if many of you believe that either Georgia or Alabama would lose to Florida State in the playoff. In fact, either team with beat Florida State by two or more touchdowns.

Had Louisville not lost to Kentucky a week earlier, maybe the WRONG decision to leave out the SEC champ would have been made. However, when Florida State did not beat Louisville more impressively that an also-ran SEC team did one week earlier, the dye was cast.

What you should be complaining about is that Michigan is in the final four- everyone knows that they broke some serious rules when the used electronic surveillance to steal signs of all teams they played, and there is no doubt that the head coach and both coordinators were complicit (otherwise, no reason to do it).

This is what you would call an opinion or prediction and not a fact.

If Milroe were to get hurt in the semi-final game and end up not scoring a point in the 2nd half but winning by 3, would you want Michigan to move on to the national championship even though Alabama won the game?

No, a fundamental fairness thread.

Had LSU had been in the same position Bama was in last week and had won the game, all tiger fans heads would have spun around if we did not get picked over either Florida State of Washington.

did you watch Alabama vs Auburn?
the same Auburn that got prison raped by New Mexico State?


Florida State's defense is about 40 spots higher than Auburn's.

That's why you play the games. Predictions are wrong all the time and I'd rather it be settled on the field than in the minds of some committee. Bama lost to a playoff team already. Let's see what FSU can do

a game they were predicted to win.

Georgia lost the SEC CG despite being predicted to win.


so who we think might maybe win a game should be one of the last criteria used if all others are pretty much a wash.

LSU fans on this board make all of us look stupid at the non-stop whining about Alabama. Beat them more often and all of the noise goes away.

So Florida State should be left out b/c their conf champ opponent had a bad game the week before? Bama needed a last minute miracle to beat Auburn. Texas lost to Oklahoma. FSU is a power 5 school that went undefeated and even beat two SEC teams.
