Florida went 5-7 and is 17-21 over the last 3 seasons. Come on man .


So you’re saying that beating Florida, who has won two national championships in the last two decades, in the Swamp, with a backup QB isn’t an impressive win?

of those wins were from FSU against upper echelon SEC programs.


Neither one of those teams were in the top 2 of their division, much less the conference.

Their two national championships were about 15 years ago.

this pretty much spells out why the playoff needed to expand.

I don’t think anyone disagrees with this. FSU getting left out is unfortunate. But so is Georgia. Ohio St could make a claim. Alabama being left out would’ve been criminal. Glad we’re going to 12 next season

Is this a troll or are you being serious? Florida is 4-3 at home the last 2 seasons with losses to Kentucky and Arkansas. The QB for those 2 national titles is 36 years old.

No, beating current day Florida in the Swamp is not a notch on any national championship contenders belt. It's a survival just like us winning in Auburn is. You don't get extra points for it, you just don't get any deducted.

5 of their 6 wins were against Vandy, SCAR, UF, and A&M. None of them have a winning record in conference play. Meanwhile, the 9th best SEC team beat the number 2 ACC team.



The ACC as a whole still had a better record.

The elite SEC teams are still playing these shitty SEC teams that the ACC beat in head to head. You cant say the SEC was a gauntlet when it was full of shite that the ACC also beat head to head.

I’m not, because all conferences are not the same.

The "elite" of the ACC's best win was...LSU.

It was justified by the committee too…

If you think that FSU, with a backup QB, is one of the best 4 teams in the country… then you must think the Top 10 all suck

The committee deemed them more worthy than Florida State who won a weak ACC.


That’s not even what happened. They only removed Florida State because their starting quarterback got hurt. Now keep kissing up to Alabama.

Alabama's only loss was to the B12 champ, who is also in.


LMAO…they had to let in one loss Texas or ESPN wouldn’t have an excuse to backdoor their cash cow into the CFP once again…There isn’t a single plausible reason for a one loss #7 Texas team to vault over an undefeated conference champion who was #4 in the penultimate committee rankings. The whole system is rigged by ESPN. Disgusting

That does not make the ACC a better conference. They just beat up on bad SEC teams. The only team to play all of these teams is UTk. I think you can say the East is average to bad, and that’s been the case for decades.

The SEC is better than the ACC. Compare the Strength of Schedule for Alabama and FSU.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Odd that you're so upset about this, and it's not even your team that's affected.

It's almost like you have an irrational hatred of Bama.
