Which is it? Is Florida State one of the 4 best teams or are they 14-point underdogs to the SEC Runner-Up?
Both things can't be true.
12

We make decisions of point spreads now? Brilliant.

Alabama is the better team
Florida State is more deserving
Any questions?

No, but the reasons behind the point spreads are relevant. Are you saying that you'd bet money on Florida State against Georgia given this spread? Because if you believe they are better than the #6 team it is easy money.

By this logic, LSU woukd have been favored over TCU last year so they should have been in the playoff right?

Ur missing the point. You can't determine based on what you watch in a game that Bama is better than Florida state because they did not play. FSU is 13-0 bama is 12-1. FSU deserved to be in the playoffs. Are they one of the 4 best teams idk? but they did what they needed to do to get in.
Washington played Oregon and won. Oregon and Washington played again and before the game Oregon was -9.5 point favorites yet Washington won again. And i guarantee if Oregon and washington played again Oregon would be favorites. So should oregon be in ahead of washington?

Yes, actually. Why are SEC fans (particularly LSU fans) melting so hard if the committee got it right, by your admission?

FSU’s SOS was closer to G5 teams than to Bama’s (and Texas’ for that matter). Play a schedule closer to a G5 team than the top contenders and dont be surprised you get treated like a G5 team.
Any questions?

Actually, they didn’t do this.

If you are 13-0 in a P5 conference, you are a top 4 team until proven otherwise. Nobody has beaten FSU, so they haven’t been proven otherwise. Facts matter more than constantly changing betting lines. Not that difficult.

This supposed "melt" is being WAY overblown.
And even some of that is simply people trolling Alabama posters.
Much like Alabama posters were trolling LSU fans in regards to Jayden winning the Heisman.
Those types of things go both ways.

Try some critical thinking Forrest.

Florida state is an undefeated P5 conference champion.
An undefeated P5 conference champion has never been left out of the playoff.
Playoffs are never about "best team".
The criteria to make the playoffs has been a dart board ever since its inception.
Hell... nick Saban claimed that UGA was one of the 4 best teams in the country in 2018.
His coaches poll voted UGA #5 because "they didn't deserve to be in".

Now do Bama…Texas and UW moron

FSU is an undefeated P5 conference champ. That trumps a 1 loss P5 conference champion.
And a 1 loss conference champion with a head to head win gets in between 2, 1 loss conference champs.
FSU put in the work and got screwed while Bama was given a welfare check (didn’t earn it, was given the fruit of someone else’s work)

Care to explain WTH that even means? It’s like “better” is somehow not deserving??
Posted on 12/3/23 at 7:49 pm to LLJKSiLk

How many points better was Bama than Auburn and Arkansas?
