Thinking we are going to do Vic and Anthony’s

I’m sure it’s been discussed. But how would home game playoff tickets work? Similar to bowl games? Do season ticket holders get first right of refusal for their tickets?

Do people not understand that the committee uses a combination of best and deserved to pick the “best” 4 teams. It’s not best vs deserved, it’s a combination of both. You had 5 conference champions this year all with 1 loss or undefeated. 5 teams that earned it on the field so the committee picked what they felt were the best 4 out of those 5 deserving teams. Sure Georgia is probably one of the best 4 teams, but they didn’t meet the threshold of deserving this year without having that conference championship like the other 5 teams. The only question was FSU vs Alabama and they felt Alabama was better. And the injury to Jordan Travis gave them an easy out to put in Alabama.

They were splitting hairs between 2 conference champions. They believed Alabama was better and the injured QB gave them the out they needed to put in Alabama. I am not losing any sleep over this.

The number 6 and 8 teams didn't magically move up. They won their conference championships which is one of the committees most important data points. In my opinion this wasn't about moving FSU down. It was more about Texas and Bama jumping them. We are complaining about a system that was flawed from the get go by only allowing 4 teams with 5 power conferences. Sure FSU deserves a chance to play for a national championship, but so do the other conference champions. Somebody had to be left out and the committee felt that FSU was the weakest of the conference champions. And I can't say that I disagree with them.

I think it’s pretty well known that lsu fan’s opinion on their biggest rival depends on age. Older fans would say ole miss, auburn in the 00s, Alabama since saban got there. Between saban, game of the century, the national championship game and multiple classic games there’s plenty of ingredients for a rivalry. Not to mention this game has usually featured the most nfl talent over the last 10-15 years. Nobody is claiming this game is above the aub or tenn rivalry. But to claim that it’s “just another game” is a little disingenuous on the bama side.

I responded to the wrong person. I agree, with a defense this bad that you can’t point to just one thing. Coaching, scheme, and players are all at fault.

I agree. And I also agree the outrage toward the coaches is warranted too

Do you really think that this is just the best we can do with the talent that we have on defense?

I don’t think anybody here is expecting a “good” defense anymore. But average should not be unrealistic. We all know the talent is not elite, but 117 is completely unacceptable. Okay so the secondary got burnt against a good QB with a good play caller. But what’s the excuse for allowing over 300 yards rushing. The defensive line isn’t made up of a bunch of freshman. I don’t have the answers, but I’m also not getting paid 10 million dollars a year to have those answers. This defense is embarrassing and I don’t think I’m being unreasonable by laying a large portion of that on House and BK as well.
