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.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
