Well no need to play the games then
The game isn't being played and we all deep down know FSU is not one of the 4 best. Watch Georgia tear them a new one.

No it’s not if AU played everyone like Bama the program would be much better off. Definitely would have beaten NM State and Ole Miss.

The program has been held back for years because of the focus on one game. Saban puts no more focus on AU than any other game and it shows

Nope, they would have put FSU over Texas, this was done to keep the SEC in the playoffs.


Thank God BAMA pulled off that win over Georgia. They floated Texas up to the top 4 with them with that critical win. No way the committee would have gave Texas / Big 12 any love if BAMA fell to 2 losses...

I'm not looking forward to facing BAMA again, I think both teams are better, and it will be a real barn burning nail biter this time around. Texas has had some critical injuries though; especially in the secondary, that may hinder them.

Was Alabama going to play FSU in Jordan-Hare?

Eye Test is what got Bama in the game... Auburn was a 14 point underdog to Bama and SHOULD have won. FSU could have beat Alabama.

Yeah, disregard the whole rivalry game aspect and the weird shite that always happens to an opponent in a game at Jerdin Hair.

FSU's defense would have been all over Milroe like white on rice.

I doubt it. I do not believe FSU's defense is any better than Georgia's and he beat them.

Serious question, is Catalon still playing? I heard he got injured again but haven’t heard if he is ok. He’s a great kid and ball player with some really bad luck.

He played pretty well when healthy which wasnt often. I think he maybe played 3 complete games this season, limited snaps in others and a couple games held out altogether. Last I heard he was hitting the portal to try again somewhere else. Good luck to the young man.

No, like FSU curbstomped Louisville.
Who exactly has Bama "Curbstomped" this year? They slide by or lost to most of their schedule. Texas, Texas A&M, Auburn, Arkansas, South Florida just to name a few. Those are a tough group to follow for real top 4 teams.

All they beat was a preseason hyped team that was ranked based on last year's team.

I don't really know. I know he was injured, but now he went into the transfer portal. Weird deal because he would probably start next year for sure. Sark said he would let players in the portal still play in the playoff games because of weird timing of the portal opening or something like that. It would definitely be nice to have him play in the playoffs. He brings the wood really fast, fun to watch him play.

FSU might have beating Washington 6-3. We’ll never know because the committee didn’t think the backup was good enough to win 2 games.

The committee didn't use this year's Bama team as a reason for even picking them. It was the sec from past years and FSU's QB getting hurt. They didn't want to open up a discussion on how bad this team has been at times compared to what FSU could do with a 3rd string QB. Bama had their hands full with South Florida with their 2nd string QB.
