Do you honestly think FSU is better than Bama? Or are you just mad that Bama might win another NC?

Like another poster said on another thread, they dropped a team because they felt like they would be less competitive than another team. Almost as if they put the better team in like it was designed

Snubbing an undefeated P5 conference champion for two one loss teams is indefensible.

Standard Gump response but if the script was flipped they’d be whining too

It’s that simple.

They had one common opponent, both at home. FSU won by 21, Alabama won by 14

So just to be perfectly clear, if it was Bama who was 13-0 but got left out because Milroe got hurt even though you beat Auburn with a backup them won the SECCG with the third QB, you would not argue that you should be in? You would graciously accept being left out and openly acknowledge that Bama did not deserve a playoff spot?

That is what you are saying right?

Yes


The Bama that showed up against Auburn would have been waxed by FSU.

And the Texas game wasn't close.

Alabama simply stole FSU's slot with the help of sleazy ESPN.

No, but I also didn’t think Texas was better than Bama or that Bama was better than Georgia.

I think FSU's defense would have locked your offense down and gave Milroe fits. You clearly forgot that it took a miracle for you to be a pedestrian Auburn team, squeak a win against Arky and damn near loss against South Florida.

Bama isnt some juggernaut this year, despite your delusions

We will never know, but considering BAMA barely beat a terrible Auburn team a week earlier does not warrant them receiving the overwhelming world-beater status they have been given by many voters. Too many just cannot be objective and look at the immediate response of items and have the attention span and logical reasoning of a fruit fly.

Why have rankings then? They seem to be as pertinent as an early season loss.

If the USF, Arkansas, Texas, Auburn, aTm version of Bama were to show up, FSU would absolutely beat Bama.

The committee every year changes their position. One year it’s the “4 best”. Then the next year “it’s who is deserving”. It is never consistent. Last year TCU would not have made the “best 4 team” angle. They lost the Big 12 championship. They got in bc they were deserving.

Yes they made the national championship game but Michigan was hosed a few times with bad calls in that game. The overturned TD never should have happened. Michigan would have won the game. Possibly have beaten UGA who only escaped OSU bc a missed field goal at the end.

Would Bama beat FSU? Possibly. The reason FSU is not there is bc their QB was lost for the season. That is a bullshite excuse. It is a team sport. FSU won 3 games with their 2nd and 3rd string QB. Bama came one play from losing to Auburn who got smoked by New Mexico State. Bama has one less win and one more loss than FSU.

People are continually arguing like it's the best teams. It is not. It's the most deserving teams who are still showing themselves to be deserving.

Stop saying it's the best. If it were the best, we'd be in there. I don't have a problem with us not being there. I don't have a problem with FSU not being there.

But what they did can't be justified with a simple argument of "it's this" or "it's that".

Did FSU have a 99.9 % chance of losing any games since their qb went down? You know, since ther wins didn’t pass the eyeball test.
