FSU is far from dead and buried :pimp:

Miami is a bigger football brand than North Carolina

SEC should have just pulled the trigger and added all 4 before all this crap happened

Not sure how 19 became the cap

It will come down to FSU, Miami, Clemson and North Carolina

I really hope it's FSU, Clemson and Miami

I don't think Virginia has any shot now

The only alternative I've seen that could happen is FSU and NC

Texas is not even fricking close to number 3..holy fricking shite..sorry but Tenn, Georgia have a very clear history of being better. So have LSU and UF and Auburn actually..

Noone does less with more than Texas.


They are tied for 4th in ALL-TIME wins with Notre Dame...

Here is UT and Georgia compared historical stats

Texas has one title in the last 50+ years, that they won in the Big 12.

LSU has 3x as many titles in the last 25 years, that they won in the SEC.

You're trying way too hard


This is LSU vs. Texas historically

Nor do they want ....SMU in the ACC.


I'd rather be playing SMU than half the teams in the ACC

I would trade Wake Forest, NC State, and Virginia for almost anyone.

get shut out of the ACC Championship Game


I don't see this happening, do you?
I have a hard time seeing ANY 9-3 team getting in...
1-4 vs. Clemson
2-3 vs. Florida
3-3 vs. Miami FL
2024

Strangely enough, we have a win over Fernando Mendoza that year
quote:

Same thing that happened to WVU in 1993 - both Bama and Texas had harder schedules.


It's really not the same thing...two different eras in college football. Being left out of the top 2 and being left out of the top 4 don't equate, especially when being decided by different governing entities

And "harder schedules" wasn't the explanation on why FSU was left out in 2023...

Regardless, playing it out on the field is always better than poll or committee opinions and hypotheticals
quote:

"WVU played no one!"


Well this who each team played before the bowls:

1993 WVU: #22, #25, #10, #15
2023 FSU: #13, #24, #16


Well, you can safely say that West Virginia would have made a 4 team playoff. What happened with FSU in 2023? What, the polls didn't determine the match-ups? It was done by a committee? FSU was #4 in the AP and Coaches (and simulated BCS) in 2023
quote:

Okay? It still doesn't change the fact that Bowden played in 5 title games (and was extremely lucky to make two of them) and only won it twice.


Kind of like Spurrier was lucky to get 1 at all, which was a mulligan game, and even needed Buckeye help to win it?

I mean you can spin things all you want. It was the poll era

Does Bowden win a split in '87 if he simply ties Miami instead of goes for 2?

And do you really think FSU doesn't win a few more with a playoff? Cmon now
quote:

Who knows but Bowden did get to play in 5 title games and only won 2 of them.


"Title Games" is kind of a loose term before the BCS...

Was 1996 a "Title Game"? Florida needed #2 Arizona State to lose. If we had the BCS that year, it would have been FSU vs. Arizona State, and then Spurrier never wins one...

Even with a "Title Game" in 1998, we got pushed into that game against Tennessee through fluke upsets of UCLA and Kansas State. That was one of the years where we definitely weren't going to win it with a backup QB. A bigger playoff would have produced Tennessee vs. Ohio State or Kansas State

And you can't convince me Georgia Tech and Colorado were the best teams in 1990 :lol:

It's just the nature of the sport. The further you go back, the more screwy things get. Hell, I thought one of the best Spurrier teams was in 2001. I honestly think they would have been the best matchup vs. 2001 MIami. Could have been a legendary game. Instead Miami got a lay up vs. Nebraska and Eric Crouch.... :banghead:
quote:

From 1987 until 2000 (14 years) Florida State finished ranked inside the AP Top 5 every year. That record will probably never be broken. During that streak, FSU was 152-19. Like I said, Bowden should've had more Natty's but he would always trip up against Miami or Florida every year it seemed


with a playoff, FSU would have a few more

There were at least 3 seasons (1987, 1992, 1997) where FSU lost 1 game by 3 points or less, and that was it...we were sealed out of the National Championship. Very small margin of error. Not one mulligan game against Miami

Also, Texas...

How the hell did they lose to Maryland twice??
quote:

Fsu has to be the sugar bowl against Florida. I’m assuming the 63-3 was the uga beating. I don’t know a single fsu fan that was devastated by the result of the uga game, they knew they were toast. Qb was injured and half the team quit when they found out they weren’t in playoffs. 96 fsu thought they were beating Florida and collecting a natty but got whooped and watched one of their most hated rivals steal their crown.


For me, the most inexplicable loss for FSU was the 2000 Championship game vs. Oklahoma

The defense did their job and held OU to 13 points. How did the offense completely crap the bed? With Weinke at QB? I know Mark Richt was on his way out to Georgia, but damn...did they even put together an offensive gameplan?

I know OU had a great defense, but FSU only had to score 2 TDs. I'll always be mystified by this game
SEC fans whining about SOS of other teams, yet can't beat these teams in the playoff

It would majorly backfire
