You absolutely have to dissect that game to discern the difference between an FSU team with Jordan Travis vs. without Jordan Travis. You have to dissect the last two games FSU played... and they were ugly. If you can't see the difference, then your bias is blinding you.


they were ugly, nobody can deny that. I'm not denying it. I've mentiond this before, but my whoel point on that specific argument is...where do we draw the line on "how important" a player is? Take Brock Bowers for instance. Top 10 draft pick. Best TE in america. In fact one could argue he's the greatest colelge TE of all time. He misseda few games in the middle of the season so what if we ended up losing one fo them? Woudl that loss essnetially be wiped away from our record as if it didn't count? Something tels me that answer would be NO. So if we dece Brock Boweres isn't important enough to alter our season based on waht's happened without him, but we HAVE determined that jordan travis is important enough...where is the line drawn? Who exactly is the arbiter of more important and less important? I personally do not think decsisions liek taht shoudl be left to people on a committee to decide. That's why I LOVED the committee for 9 years, because even though internet people btiched and complaind they did everythign objectively based solely on resume. Not eye test, not vegas odds, none of that....jsut who's resume was best. That's why it's so hard for people to come to grips with this go around because they did a complete about face.

The committee...

I hear you, and in some ways we agree. However you cannot compare a TE to QB, regardless of talent level. The QB touches the ball every single play.

You can’t compare a TE to a QB. Hey I love Bowers as a player. I love to watch him play. He affects a defense in so many ways just as a decoy. You can’t compare a player that gets the ball on every play to a TE though. A QB handles the ball on every snap. As much as I love Bowers and I think Brock Bowers is the best player in CFB but Georgia could sit Bowers and still win. If you take Beck out of that lineup I don’t know If UGA would not lose a few games.

Ignoring that atrocious spelling of yours, Bama had a better resume than FSU.

A much stronger SOS, beat the 2-time defending National Champions who were on a 29-game win streak and headed for a 3-peat and won the championship in the strongest conference in the nation.

No one will ever convince me that the SEC Champion doesn't earn and deserve a spot in the CFP.
