Think about all the money Michigan wasted sending "scouts" to Georgia games for nothing now

 

[drd23]

FSU keeps this up they don't deserve to get in even if they win

 

[Back One Out]

This is like watching High School football after the Bama-Dawgs slugfest

People are kidding themselves.

" " " Power 5 " " "

 

[aussiedude]

its a true freshman making his first start who had been QB3 all year.

 

[aussiedude]

PR team already at work

Iowa fumble in FG range.

That bar giving away free beer till Iowa score might go bankrupt tonight.

 

[aussiedude]

FSU cant afford drops like that.

The implied O/U on the Iowa score was apparently 6.5. That bar knew what they were getting themselves into

 

[aussiedude]

Big TD drive for FSU

 

[aussiedude]

Thrash is keeping this close

It's a virtual golf joint and cost $60 a 1 hour play. You have to have a booking to qualify. At worse people are playing for free.

 

[aussiedude]

that play might of just solved the issues for the CFP.

 

[aussiedude]

wow. FSU get the INT. bailed out big time there. Louisville couldnt come up empty there

How i would have the top 10

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. FSU

5. Alabama
6. Georgia

7. Ohio St
8. Oregon
9. Missouri
10. Penn St

Would love a Ohio St Vs Alabama/Georgia Orange Bowl.

I'd have FSU above Texas, but I'm pretty much in agreement with the rest of it.

I think FSU deserve to be 3 as a 13-0 team. but feel they will end up 4.

 

[aussiedude]

Also feel like they will reveal the rankings 25-7 and then do 1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5

Nah, I reckon they'll end up 3, cos they're going to put Bama ahead of Texas.

 

[Santana]

Hopefully Florida State doesn't make the CFP. They will get eaten alive with no Travis

Its either Texas or both. otherwise you are telling everyone to schedule FCS cupcakes OoC to avoid having a possible loss to another contender.

Which is ironic since in the past they punished teams for soft OoC schedules.

But isn't the whole point risk verse reward. You win a good OOC game you get the rewards from that but lose it may cost you.

If you look at the written criteria for selection its hard to see how FSU makes it in over Alabama given SEC >> ACC, comparative outcomes against common opponents and the lack of Jordan Travis


This is what I expect will happen

FSU have 3 ranked wins and the most wins vs bowl eligible teams.
the FSU team wont be playing a semi with the QB3. and why is everyone just discounting Louisville like they were nothing.

the common opponent vs Alabama is LSU who FSU beat by more. This wouldnt even be a debate if Travis was playing. the backup QB looked good lastweek. its hard to judge a team on a true freshman QB making his first start in a championship game who had like 10 snaps before today.

the FSU defense is still legit.

The only issue is that the 2 teams fighting over the last spot, One is the biggest name the other beat them H2H.
Its not like the Alabama doesnt have a QB everyone can see is the weakness on the team.

 

[drd23]

This wouldnt even be a debate if Travis was playing

But he isn't, and missing key players is literally part of the selection criteria

I agree with the main reply to that tweet. Not sure the committee has the guts to do this even if it will make for better viewing.
