Go back to 11 game seasons, smaller conferences, auto invites for conf champs, at large to fill out a 16 team field. Higher seed gets home field. Not complicated. Works for FCS and NFL. Let bowl sponsors cut deals to host games at “neutral” sites if they want. But get the product right; the current system is destroying it.

Its a reflection on the head coach and the culture he brings to the team.

FSU’s prima donna culture predates Norvell. Absolutely fair to fault him for letting it get out of control, but it didn’t start with him. FSU has been drinking their own kool aid since the ‘99 season, at least.

FSU is going to legitimize the selection committee’s decision. Partly a side effect of players hitting the portal, but also in part from having too many prima donnas in the roster. You’d be doing the ACC a solid by taking them off our hands.

Schedules aren't equal in college football. This isn't the NFL. FSU's schedule was weak and they looked weak in most of those games.

FSU’s win over Florida with Rodemaker was more convincing than Alabama’s win over Auburn with Milroe. Alabama had a weak performance against USF around same time FSU looked weak against BC.

Akabama’s opponents had a combined 86-66 record. That’s an average opponent just below 7-5. FSU’s opponents went 79-73 combined. That’s an average opponent just above 6-6. If FSU & Alabama had the same record it would be a difference maker.

The committee could have said Alabama’s record against their schedule was better than FSU’s record against theirs. They didn’t. Because it’s a weak argument. Which is why they pointed to Jordan’s absence, and pretended they could predict how FSU would perform with a healthy Rodemaker.

lol, the thread title literally calls us out. But we’re not supposed to answer…

51-48. SEC refs. You had your chance in OT. Still couldn’t close the deal.

Or maybe they shouldn’t have bitched out when they didn’t join the SEC just so they could have a weaker schedule?

---

You weren’t SEC then either. You were Big 8 or something. You’re not even Southern. You’ve never played FSU, much less beaten them. STFU.

Their biggest mistake was claiming they can predict how FSU with 4 weeks to heal and prepare would perform with Tate Rodemaker. They came right out and said they looked into their crystal ball and couldn’t see FSU being competitive without Jordan. They can’t predict that. Especially after FSU won twice without Jordan. You play the games for a reason. For all we know other teams’ players will get injured before the games are played and it will affect how they play.

So there is no line? Liberty should be in over Texas and Bama?

FSU beat LSU by 3 TDs on a neutral field. Alabama beat LSU by 2 TDs at home. There’s a line for you. Plus you needed a miracle to beat a rebuilding Auburn. Quit acting like your team stormed the beaches of Normandy. FSU got left out because they’re not as compelling to watch without Jordan Travis. The selection committee admitted as much.

Yep. Watched the FSU Louisville game and was thinking FSU’s out even if they win. Defense might win championships but it doesn’t hold viewers.
