Yep, Auburn fumbled a punt in the last minute, then Alabama proceeded to lose 21 yards, and then won on a hail mary pass. Now they think they are the best team. ROTFL!

I think it's healthy to see what your tax dollars are being spent on.


Wait. You think tax dollars are funding these football programs and the committee?

Not the record revenue flowing in from television contracts?

This isn't women's volleyball, baw.

This won't be anything more than that letter, which will probably be completely ignored.

Sorry for your loss.

It happens that way sometimes. If they don't have the best team during the 2nd week of the New Year, then poke fun at them. Wait till then.

all of this will be forgotten by next Monday, when Louisiana’s Senator will be crying about Penix and his Heisman.

CFP needs to tell him to get fricked. Surely there is something more important for him to do.

What answers are there to give? They thought you weren’t one of the 4 best. That’s the only reason they need to give.

That is not what happened. Florida State got ripped off because their quarterback went down with an injury. But of course you knew that already.


Both played factors which is in the criteria.

Player Availability

This isn't controversial.

You think that pulling federal funded to a major public university wouldn't have any impact on that university's football program?

Anyone trying to make it about SoS now is only fooling themselves.

It was in the reasoning they gave. They were pretty clear. Even said they went around the table at least 6 times and asked “Who would you not want to play?” The answer was clear. Another reason “ best four.”

No, the government has nothing to do or say about a playoff selection.


Don’t be naive. There’s virtually nothing the government isn’t involved with in this day and age. Some of the playoff committee members were literally politicians.

Man, you really don't know how much any of this shite really works. Most flagship "public" universities don't get much of their operational budgets from the government anymore because it insulates us from lunatics like you who want to do funding cuts over shite like a football playoff.

Also, while some media outlets love to cherry pick the random weird arse grant for some clickbait, what do you think the vast majority of all that federal and state grant money gets used on? Just one example - pharmaceutical companies barely develop any new drugs. Universities do. Look all throughout the medical and tech sectors, and you'll see this story repeated over and over again.

Where I work, for every dollar of tax money we do get, we generate four dollars of economic impact back out of it, and we aren't even a bigger R1. But sure, let's frick with that apple cart because Alabama got to play a football game and FSU didn't.

I swear to Christ, every time someone says, "You'll never meet someone who hates government more than me," they are two seconds away for suggesting government be used for some ridiculous damn boondoggle to assuage some petty grievance over something that doesn't matter.

Dude you sound hysterical and clueless. You think Rick Scott will move all of Congress to pass legislation targeting Alabama's federal funding (which is entirely unrelated and siloed away from the athletics budget) over the CFP's decision. Spare us the backtracking and gaslighting, you're unmoored from reality or green AF

Biden's not overhauling DoE policies over something so frivolous either bud
