Yes, not sure what the problem is with that.  Just like Ohio State will get punished for losing to its biggest rival in one of the toughest games of the year.  

This happened last year (?) with Mich and OSU. Since they're in the same "division" they can't both be in the title game. OSU lost just once but couldn't rematch with Michigan. Instead Iowa stumbled in. So OSU gets penalized for being in a grouping some dude just made up one night while sitting on the toilet.

I don't think Michigan is THE BEST team in the country.

I think it's probably either Georgia or Alabama at the moment.

With a decent game from their backup QB who will be back I think FSU can beat Michigan.  FSU still has great talent on both sides of the ball

Honestly if FSU was whole right now with their starting QB and the way their defense is playing I would have them giving Bama and Georgia a tough game.

With Travis they're absolutely a legit top 5 team. No doubt about it. Without him though? I think any of the  other potentiak playoff teams handle them easily.

I agree with you.  I just think with Boo and Jim Grobe on the CFP committee that an undefeated FSU team will not be left out.

Bama, Texas, and Georgia fans going to be sitting on the edge of their seats.  It may come down to quality wins and strength of schedule because Bama will say they beat Georgia and Texas will say they beat Bama and Georgia will look at both Bama and Texas and say y'all lost during the regular season....

You might be right.  On the other hand, the backup qb who played against Florida and was starting to play well towards the end of the game might be the next Joe Montana, who is just starting to figure things out.  We don't know until they actually play.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few years.  With so many of the top historical programs crammed into two conferences, the fans of a school like Oklahoma might start to chafe a little bit when they go 9-2 several years in a row and miss the playoffs even with the expansion.  All the extra money won't mean much.

      Aaron Rodgers to the Panthers?

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      If you want attention to something, I feel like the report button works better than just saying mods in the thread.  I assume it sends them an alert, as I doubt they just continuously watch this place.   Just trying to help, if you actually see something somewhere that needs intervention or you feel this does.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Yes, in the absence of your big brain, those points have been discussed ad nauseum around here. Most stable individuals can see that the org sucks since Tepper took over. We can’t change that fact so we debate Bryce’s viability as a QB into oblivion. Bryce has shown the occasional flash but it is year 3 and decisions have to be made. I personally don’t think he’s cut out for this but as a fan of the Panthers I hope that somehow it works.

      Something new to argue vehemently about.

      I agree that perspective is important.  I also think that it's fine to take the wins when you can.  So the Panthers have started playing a lot better against bad teams after the first couple of weeks.  Cool, I'll take that.  Will it continue?  I don't know.  The Jets could be the uber trap/Steve Wilks revenge buzzsaw that sucks all the life and wind out of us.  Or we could beat them and the narrative still wouldn't change because they are a really bad team. Here's my long perspective:  We've been one of the worst teams since we traded for Bryce - talent level, wins, etc.  Any metric will show that.  This year, we are improving.  Maybe we're not bottom tier trash.  Maybe we're just to below average.  That's growth as far as I'm concerned.  I'll take that.
