I fully expected that. I believe their goal is to get the 4 best teams at season’s end into a playoff. Unfortunately, without their star QB, FSU is not one of the 4.He was surprisingly transparent with his answer to that question.
See - you prove my point with your comment. You took the historical data to justify the current situation. If that’s what the purpose is, than your logic is correct.
But I believe the purpose is to get the best 4 teams at season’s end to playoff. If you watched Alabama/Georgia and FSU/Louisville this weekend, Alabama is the 4th team. It has nearly the same defense and a far more explosive offense than FSU. Right now. It would beat FSU 8 out of 10.
I do. That’s why FSU is not in. FSU with a 3rd string QB is not one of the best 4 teams in the country.I mean…I don’t understand how you can possibly assert that. We have Alabamas resume and it isn’t great.
You realize FSU was starting their freshman third stringer last night.
I think Michigan wins comfortably.Money talks. FSU gets f*cked. I feel really bad about them.
On the other hand, laughing my ass off that Michigan has to face Alabama in the first round.
By the way, I believe that with their star QB is FSU IS ONE the best 4 teams. But he’s not able to play.I do. That’s why FSU is not in. FSU with a 3rd string QB is not one of the best 4 teams in the country.
The backup would have been back to play in CFP. This was a screw job. Hope Mich hammers Alabama.I do. That’s why FSU is not in. FSU with a 3rd string QB is not one of the best 4 teams in the country.
Which is a bogus reason.Committee Chair just admitted they penalized FSU for an injury to their QB.
Yeah, never thought I’d be a Booger apologist, but he was taking blows from all sides during that breakdown and stood his ground. The spin machine was in full effect and nobody else was even willing to question. Unreal, but really shouldn’t be surprising I guess. All about the $$ — just like it is for the players and conferences now.Yep. Booger is the only one who isn't an SEC bobo on the show.
They are with the backup as well.By the way, I believe that with their star QB is FSU IS ONE the best 4 teams. But he’s not able to play.

One of the criteria is subjective and allows them to factor in things like player availability.Committee Chair just admitted they penalized FSU for an injury to their QB.
Are you saying you think they are one of the 4 most deserving or that you would favor them over Alabama right now?They are with the backup as well.

Florida state was also done in by a pretty bad strength of schedule.
Yea, but their 2nd stringer will be back for the next game. Know that doesn't matter at this point, but still think FSU got screwed. They did everything asked of them.I do. That’s why FSU is not in. FSU with a 3rd string QB is not one of the best 4 teams in the country.

I don’t disagree but they factor it in every year.A very questionable criteria.
Wins/losses should trump every other hand.
Strength of Schedule has an inherent bias, especially when it comes to the SEC. I will always contend that the middle to bottom tier of the SEC are among the worst in the entire Power 5. But those teams are considered better than they are because they're in the SEC, which leads to SOS ranking of the top SEC teams being drastically inflated.One of the criteria is subjective and allows them to factor in things like player availability.

Knowing the QB will be healthy, yes. They beat the #16 team basically without a serviceable QB. Found a way to stay undefeated. That defense is lights out good.Are you saying you think they are one of the 4 most deserving or that you would favor them over Alabama right now?
I’m not equating anything to the last 20 years, I asked who you thought would win today. The answer to that question might not matter to you but it matters to the committee.I would say “I don’t know” which is the only correct answer. We cannot equate 2023 teams to their historical body of work over the last 20 years as tempting as it is.
