I’m not an FSU supporter, I’m just not an SEC nuthugger. The point is that any excuse given for FSU’s omission does not hold up under scrutiny. If they would come out and say we’d just rather have Alabama and Texas in for money, or the SEC gets an automatic bid from us because we think it’s the best conference, then we’d all know what the score is.

Ok Nostradamus. I suppose you’re ok with offensive juggernaut Michigan being ranked #1 though. Even though that’s the excuse for jobbing FSU, offense. Love that Alabama/Mich game decided by Alabama mistakes. And that Wash/Tex game where the Heisman candidate QB got to carve up a terrible secondary. The final scores were nice and all, but we don’t have to make up stories about these looking like the best 4 teams in the country. Georgia is still probably the best team in the country. I doubt Penix would do what he did against the FSU defense, and Alabama barely beat Auburn, looked like trash against UAB or whoever that trash school was, had to bench Milroe because he was so bad, and had the game of their lives against a Georgia team missing starters. Worst Bama team in years. But hey, they’re in the SEC they must be sooooo much better than everybody else because that’s what they say. Don’t worry, snapping the ball isn’t important. And yeah, FSU is not as good without literally half their starters, I’m not sure what the point of mentioning that is. Everybody except Travis would have been playing in the CFP. Were they the best team in the country? Who knows, probably not, but they earned their spot. They played good teams without Travis and still won. We’ll never know.

That’s certainly what the committee wants you to think. Unfortunately, we’ll never know.

So you support categorizing a man based on the color of his skin?

Yeah officiating been so much better since JR was forced to sell lol. The NFL wanted JR out for a while. I hated the NFL shield at midfield as much as anybody, doesn’t mean I have to pretend like every single thing about Jerry Richardson was bad. He never had teams this bad. I would take Richardson over Tepper 10 times out of 10. Saying some fans are too dumb to see the grass isn’t always greener and not recognizing a smear job when they see one is just acknowledging reality. Dm me when Kraft is forced to sell.

??? The team culture that Tepper tried to remove. You been under a rock? But go on. Old white man bad and all that.

Lol, he won’t be forced to sell, and if he was we wouldn’t get anybody better. We had our local owner who cared about the culture and loved the players and plenty of y’all wanted him gone so we could bring in some rich northern asshole.

3 is pretty generous.

Turnstile Ekwonu strikes again. Pisses me off so bad seeing those clips of Bryce saying “It’s on me” on the sidelines and these buffoon OL saying “it’s all good” and dabbing him up after whiffing their blocks. What does Campen even do here?

Never seen a less capable third and long team and yet we always finding ways to put ourselves in that position.

I don’t think he works on his own to get better, and I think he also probably doesn’t catch on to things quickly. Speculation on my part, but I’ve seen some OL guys speculate the same, that he didn’t work on his craft in the off-season. He should still be better than he is even doing the bare minimum, which is why I say he probably doesn’t catch onto things quickly. Needs a lot of repetition on form and technique and he ain’t doing it.

At this point, any player who is actually available on Sundays is an upgrade. A backup who plays ST would be an upgrade.

There’s plenty of examples of really successful sons, grandsons, brothers, etc. Same draft Pat Surtain Jr.

Yes and no. 4th and 7 is guaranteed pass that has to be at least 7 yards with a terrible pass blocking OL and slow receivers. It’s a stupid position to put the team in during the first quarter.

How do we not have an emergency kicker who can kick a 30yd field goal?

Fire Tabor right this second.

Wow incredibly stupid. Great job not kicking the field goal to go for it on 4th and 7 and getting the QB hurt. Dumbasses.

Burns made his one play/game he’s done now.

NFL wants a 3 team race in the NFCS

How was that catchable?

Trash call. To be expected.

I just used the rivalry games as an example because that is when the QB who would be starting for FSU in the playoffs was playing, and they were pretty similar opponents and atmospheres, both on the road, and they were just a week ago. FSU looked better than Alabama. If we’re just going by last week alone, Bama should be #1, not 4. If we’re just going by who we “think” or “feel” is the best team regardless of record, then Georgia is in. So record matters, unless you’re FSU, conference matters, but only if you’re in the SEC, winning your conference championship matters, unless it’s the ACC, beginning of the season matters a lot if you’re Texas and not so much if you’re Bama. It’s just a poo show.

That would be true of the #4 spot this year. That’s the problem. FSU should be in and then the fourth team I agree. Leaving FSU out for 2 teams was 100% the wrong decision.

You are saying they would get stomped. We will unfortunately never know. FSU looked better in their rivalry game against Florida with their backup QB than Bama did in their rivalry game against Auburn. They just held a 420ypg offense to 188yds. Why couldn’t they do that to Bama’s offense, who only averages 400ypg? There are 22 starters on a team. If it’s all about the QB, this playoff would be completely different. Again, inconsistently applied standards used to justify personal preferences. QB goes down and you say well it doesn’t matter what you do, we don’t care that the defense just held one of the best offenses in the country to 6 points. That doesn’t make sense. Why would you rank them in the top 4 last week? I’m not an FSU fan, but this is bushleague.

How is the logic consistent? Genuinely curious. Are there other examples of undefeated p5 teams being left out? Are there other examples of leaving an undefeated team out because of an injury to one player? Are there examples of an undefeated team getting leap frogged in the rankings by TWO one-loss teams? Are there other examples of an undefeated team getting leap frogged in the rankings by a one loss team while coming off a victory against a higher ranked team? Is the “eye test” typically only applied for one game? The only standard I’m seeing is SEC representation in the playoff no matter what, and Texas for beating that SEC team first game of the season. That win is very heavily weighted for Texas even though it was the first game of the season, but the loss doesn’t mean as much for Alabama because it was the first game of the season. Because that makes sense. And Texas’ loss doesn’t matter that much because it was earlier in the season. And Bama needing a miracle to beat Auburn doesn’t matter because it’s a rivalry game. But FSU gets dinged on the “eye test” for only beating Florida by 9 the same week…in a rivalry game. The only thing that consistently makes sense is SEC favoritism and money.
