Hell, I wish they'd had the balls to put UGA in over Bama despite the SEC championship game when UGA had multiple offensive stars banged up.

I mean, Bama needed a hail Mary to beat Auburn last week who was coming off an absolute ass whooping to powerhouse New Mexico State. UGA is the better team despite last night's results. So if we're doing the whole "best teams" thing let's do it full bore.

There was always going to be a team who felt they got screwed over. I knew it was going to be FSU because I know how the NCAA thinks!

Having a backup QB in the playoffs simply doesn't make sense for TV ratings.

 

I can't remember last year playoffs but didn't one team get blown out?

If FSU wants to complain then win your bowl game. If they do they have an argument and can claim they were the best. If they lose then they shut up. 

The rest of the bowls have just ceased to matter if we're being honest. Most of the draftable draft eligible kids are sitting them out.

TCU somehow beat Michigan in the semifinals and then took one of the all-time ass whooping s in the championship game when UGA skull drug them 65-7.

So you prefer they put a team in the playoffs with their backup QB and watch them get stomped by Bama?

 

Then people will complain they should have never made it to begin with.

 

If FSU QB didn't get injured this is a non story and they are clearly in the playoffs.

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.

Then no reason to play an SEC Championship game.  
 

Don’t disagree or agree, but that’s what it’s come to.

Hell, Alabama went to the playoffs a few years ago when they didn't even qualify for the SEC championship game - not to mention the several times ND has gone despite not being in a conference to even be able to appear in a conference championship game - so we've pretty much already established that the conference championship games don't matter.

And it killed ratings. I don’t think the CFB committee wanted that if they made it FSU vs Michigan in round 1

Ahh now you refreshed my memory!

 

Yeah I doubt they want to see that kind of whooping again. Maybe if FSU beat Louisville convincingly they would have squeezed them in there, but they didn't and I called it the moment the game was over. They were the odd team out.

      2025 College Football Thread

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      UNC's football relevance has always basically been, "Hey, remember how great our basketball program is?" To extent that has worked but they have never been able to capitalize on that towards being a legit ACC power. The closest was Mack Brown 1.0 and that was stopped by prime Bowden FSU. TBH, they should have utilized all these resources they just poured into Belichick into, IDK, a legit college football coach? This is one of the more insane uses of that kind of money I have seen in CFB, which is no stranger to insane, irresponsible uses of money. The SEC and Big Ten have already shot themselves in the foot. The model they are operating on only works if TV revenues continue to go up. Well, demographics aren't working in their favor. Economics either, TBH. The NIL didn't change very much, if you notice. The haves still have and the have nots don't. The only difference between pre-NIL and NIL was the money being below the table and above it. College athletics has never at any point been about fairness. It's the most dramatically unequal system in all US atheltics. My only hope is that the collapse is swift, dramatic and most importantly SOON. I would like to see the rebuilding of this all to something closer to what it was 40-50 years ago. Regional and not such money grubbing nonsense.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      By Waldo · Posted

      Meh Dalton looks washed. He was good for at least 1 entertaining game a year but Im not sure he even has one of those left at this point. His game style and old age hasn't been a good combo IMO.  Not going to compare him to Hooker because Hooker is another longshot to ever be worth a #2 spot. At least he isn't Plummer I guess. Young better stay healthy or they could go backwards in wins with those 2 options this year.
