10 point win over #14, 10-2 Louisville with a 3rd string QB in a conference championship game?

or

3 point win over 4-8 Arkansas with your starting QB

or

3 point win over 6-6 Auburn with your starting QB

or

6 point win over 7-5 A&M with your starting QB?

Just wondering how it’s somehow worse for Florida state to beat a good team with a 3rd string QB by double digits than for Alabama to barely beat bad teams with their starter.

Hard to choose I'll go with one of these:

3 point win over 4-8 Arkansas with your starting QB


3 point win over 6-6 Auburn with your starting QB


6 point win over 7-5 A&M with your starting QB

You must not have watched Florida State play a game all season. You’re just looking at scoreboards and BS rankings that the BS committee made. You’re upset with their BS decisions.
Edit: BTW Louisville would be ranked 11th in the SEC talent composite, just above Mississippi State.
FSU would rank 8th in the SEC, just above South Carolina.

Easy. Any win during the conference season over another SEC team is "better" than a win over Louisville.

Rankings? I’m referencing team records? There’s no way you actually think beating a TERRIBLE Arkansas team by 3 with Milroe is somehow a better optics win than beating 10-2 Louisville with a 3rd string QB?

Lol sure. Beating Florida with a backup QB should also be a better win for Optics than any of those, but I digress

Oh shite they’re ranked lower in the talent composite!?!??

Might as well not play the games then. shite as an LSU fan I’ll take that. Would save us a lot of potential upsets and even some non-upsets

What's a better win 49-21 over Kentucky or 16-6 over Louisville?

I think the answer is obvious and that's comparing Alabamas 6th best win to Florida States second

Could FSU have beaten LSU and Clemson without Travis?

A 5-7 UF team? Right. You said Auburn was "AWFUL" but Florida is a good win.

You're all over the place dude

No I said with a backup QB it’s a better win than those others with a starter?

I don’t get it. How is the logic somehow that winning with a backup qb is LESS impressive than winning with a starter

The fact that FSU managed to run a nobody out there and beat Louisville should speak volumes to the overall quality of their team, but it apparently makes them worse?

Tell me you are talking about a game you clearly didn’t watch without telling me.

Arkansas scored a TD on a long clock killing drive with like 2 minutes left in the game to make it look close but that game was never really in doubt.
It was also a 12am kick that Bama was up 21-6 at halftime and it was obvious the boys were sleepwalking through the 2nd half.

LMFAO holy excuses

I’m sure none of the other top teams had early games against bad teams that they still smoked

Definitely not
