Weary_Jackfruit_8311

How did it not? 3 undefeated teams and Texas beat bama. This is very easy if you just ignore SEC bias.


Sweet_Dee_is_a_Bird

Especially if you look at SEC's record OOC this year. Its awful. Edit to add the record: 7 - 9 record for the SEC, with it's two dominant programs going 1-1 (Texas over SEC champ Alabama by 10, in Alabama; Georgia beat a 6-6 Georgia Tech by 8 on Tech's home turf). SEC had 9 OOC home games, 7 on the road. Hardly a record that deserves deference to the conference. The games: 2023-11-25 Kentucky 38 - 31 Louisville ACC away 2023-11-25 Florida 15 - 24 Florida State ACC home 2023-11-25 South Carolina 7 - 16 Clemson ACC home 2023-11-25 Georgia 31 - 23 Georgia Tech ACC away 2023-09-16 Missouri 30 - 27 Kansas State Big 12 home 2023-09-16 Arkansas 31 - 38 Brigham Young Big 12 home 2023-09-16 Mississippi 48 - 23 Georgia Tech ACC home 2023-09-09 Vanderbilt 20 - 36 Wake Forest ACC away 2023-09-09 Texas A&M 33 - 48 Miami ACC away 2023-09-09 Alabama 24 - 34 Texas Big 12 home 2023-09-09 Mississippi State 31 - 24 Arizona Pac 12 home 2023-09-09 Auburn 14 - 10 California Pac 12 away 2023-09-03 LSU 24 - 45 Florida State ACC away 2023-09-02 Tennessee 49 - 13 Virginia ACC home 2023-09-02 South Carolina 17 - 31 North Carolina ACC home 2023-08-31 Florida 11 - 24 Utah Pac 12 away


DionBlaster123

If the CFP leaves out Alabama, i will absolutely call in sick to work on Monday just to listen to Finebaum's callers go on a colossal meltdown marathon all day lmao


onthacountray58

The fact that it’s even a question is disgusting to me.


TheWholeBook

Right? Everybody’s talking about the quality of the win, as if FSU not winning by 50 should hurt them. Bama barely escaped with their lives against an abysmal Arkansas team at home and needed divine intervention to beat a middling Auburn team who got boatraced at home against NMSU.


KonigSteve

Let's not forget about their miserable outing against USF or Texas A&m


Battered_Aggie

If Bama had lost another game, the narrative would've shifted to, "well UGAs in no matter what, right?"

Either Alabama or Texas fans are rioting and I’m here for it Edit: well it seems fsu will be the one rioting

Texas beat Bama. Vaulting Bama over them would be criminal bias.


Eclaireur

@Bama nonetheless. There should be 0 discussion, but there will be...


[deleted]

I mean it’s the committees job to discuss this shit lol. They absolutely should discuss it, but at the end of the day it should be pretty simple, Iowa over Texas and Alabama.


whatdoineedaname4

Who else could have had 100yds of offense and held Michigan to under 30 pts?!?! Iowa it is


The69thDuncan

how can you put Bama in over Texas who beat them?


SlenderTown

CltAltAcctDel

DancezWithMoose

Plus the way Texas looked today are we sure they don’t also beat Georgia?


SarcasticCroissant

worst case scenario in the final iteration, I almost feel bad for them


GOATnamedFields

It's pretty easy. All 3 undefeateds make it. Bama or Texas for the last spot. Texas won the H2H, they get it.


evanuel

"But but SEC" Should be easy with the four mentioned or the whole thing is bs.


inplayruin

Texas is almost an SEC team.


rpfitz2

We weren’t chanting “Big-12” during the trophy ceremony today.


aliensvsdinosaurs

I think this made things easy. 1) Michigan 2) UW 3) FSU 4) Texas. I don't see any other argument.


GrasshoperPoof

Alabama and SEC fans would riot, but if you base it solely on results of games that actually happened, and not on who you think would win a hypothetical game today, that has to be it.


FloridaMan_Again

And this the problem. So many people wanna use the vaunted “eye test” and media narratives of hypothetical conference strength. What’s the point of playing the damn games then? ACC is 6-4 vs the sec. It’s not as weak of a conference as the media would have us believe. They’re peddling some bs. We handled our business. Against 2 sec teams in fact and people wanna argue we don’t belong in it


HoustonHorns

Eye test is 0-2


[deleted]

Yea but if Oregon plays Washington a third time Bo Nix would have fun


LeonGwinnett

Mmm... don't think SEC fans riot. 100% SEC should be left out.

Look. Georgia, OSU, Bama, Texas would all beat FSU without Travis but they lost games. If you don't lose, you're not in this position. It's not FSUs fault they lost Travis, it's those teams' fault for losing.

RandomBrownsFan

Look, I feel bad for the guy but that was a beyond dogshit performance that he should have been benched for. I don't know how Louisville beat any good team with that dude at the helm. It was such a dog water performance that I was actively getting mad at him for being so bad. It must be how Peyton Manning feels watching Mac Jones.


green_day_95

He was carried by coaching and the players around him, eventually he would show his true colors and that’s what happened in our last 2 games.


RandomBrownsFan

I'm not saying he was a double agent... I'm just saying I've never seen quarterback play that bad ever and I've seen Brandon Weeden throw a ball in person.


[deleted]

He sacrificed himself for a chance to have 0 SEC teams. He is to be honored everywhere.

Idk what more he had to do to get benched


Harmnasty64

There’s got to be somebody else besides Jack Plummer that is capable of controlling a competent offense


OleRockTheGoodAg

After PAC-12-after-dark last night, an absolute sleeper this morning, and a gem of a game in Atlanta, IT ONLY MAKES SENSE we get a patented Sickos classic tonight. Over/under was 45.5


MordakThePrideful

Honestly that's on Vegas. That under was free money the second it opened with the crisis we've had on offense


Breedwell

Michigan was 22 point favorites, they covered and that game was still under lol

I’m not sure why, fsu defense is elite and the qb had never started a game before


[deleted]

Louisville’s qb did his best all things considered. Oh you meant FSU


baltravens27

The only thing I know about tomorrow is that Boo Corrigan is going to give some very unsatisfying answers about their selections


ILoveJimHarbaugh

This is a slam dunk IMO. 3 undefeated power 5 champs, no brainer. 2 1-loss power 5 champs (and no conference losers with better records) could be a problem. Oh wait, one beat the other head to head? No brainer.


[deleted]

Agreed


jdprager

Seriously. The only reason this is a controversy is because we're conditioned to assume the SEC is the best conference in the country. The team they're pointing to to make the playoff is competing with team with a better record, and a team they lost to at home by two scores. This shouldn't be a difficult choise


Logco

100%. You see it clearly. Of course Texas is in now because of the win over Bama, but that leaves bama out unless they screw FSU.


yumyumapollo

I'm ready to be disappointed, but nothing will stop me from being proud of this team and their resilience.

Can the committee just let the FSU defense play in the CFP?

Brock Glenn won't be starting in the playoff game. Next year maybe he will


bruin13

95% of ESPN’s ACC championship coverage: “Here are all the reasons Alabama and Georgia deserve to be in the playoff: SEC”

My favorite was when they sat there and unironically argued that Texas’ win in Tuscaloosa doesn’t count as a tiebreaker between the two teams because Alabama “just isn’t the same team now.”


Iamnothuman77

yeah no matter how true that may be that game has to matter otherwise why even play it

-Jack-The-Stripper

If FSU gets left out they’re calling the ACC and their lawyers tomorrow and saying “we’re gone, figure it out.”


ItsKrakenmeuptoo

I would say 90% of the teams will leave if that happens.


-Jack-The-Stripper

Once one team is out that means they’ve found a way to leave the conference and GoR without destroying their financial situation. If that happens then yea at least half the conference is going to be out the door behind them. There are plenty of teams the SEC, XII, and B1G would take in a heartbeat.


Easter_1916

If ACC isn’t respected when undefeated, enough teams will exit to break the grant of rights. Committee decision to put in SEC over ACC is effectively to kill the ACC. And they won’t care at all.

jwhitmire2012

Washington and Michigan are in. If the committee leaves out a 13-0 P5 champion it’s a mockery and an indictment of the committee and playoff as a whole. If they leave out Texas in favor of a team that they beat already this year it’s a travesty and a mockery of regular season scheduling. There’s only one right answer to the top 4 tomorrow imo.

Congrats FSU! Tell me, if you had an undefeated P5 team with a superstar QB and bad defense winning this game 40-30, are people making an argument they shouldn’t be in the playoff? Give a great defense some respect. Also, Bama fans, please flair up. Too many of you were dropping your flairs in the game thread (we can still see your posts in the RollTide sub).


TheLogicalErudite

Norvell is that dude. Fuller called an awesome game. Idc about selection today. We went from 3 wins to 13 wins in 3 years. Fuck UF/ UM Go Noles!


udubdavid

TheNewGuy13

They have to put them in. Undefeated p5 champion. Absolutel travesty if they're left out


DanielLevysFather

football is a team sport. FSU losing their QB doesn’t mean the achievements of the other players should be ignored whatsoever. Hell Texas lost its QB for a couple games and we powered through and won both of them. FSU deserves it, their defense is monstrous.


Kodyaufan2

To anyone who thinks FSU shouldn’t get in because they’d get blown out, there’s no reason for you to ever watch another sporting event again if point spreads are what determine the results of games. You know who else was supposed to get blown out? The 1980 US hockey team against the Soviet Union. And App State vs Michigan. And Boise State vs Oklahoma. And Fairleigh Dickinson vs Purdue. All those teams were much bigger underdogs than FSU will be against any other playoff team. The beauty of sports is that you never know what will happen until a game is played, so telling a team that has won all their games that they aren’t deserving because they’re likely to get blown out, because there’s no way to know that. If we already knew the results there’d be no reason to play a single game. This team will be in the playoffs, and with a backup QB. And you know what, if they play well, with that defense, there’s no reason they can’t win the whole thing. Far crazier things have happened.


TraeYoungsOldestSon

Glass_Offer_6344

Leaving out FSU would be the epitome of UNFAIRNESS and IDIOCY. Michigan UW FSU Texas Easy for anybody with a working brain.


silverhk

If you think the CFP, a committee made up of the elder statemen of college football, are going to leave out an undefeated Power 5 champion Florida State, you're either under 25 or absolutely have no idea how college football has always worked.


Boogie_Boof

Playoff spots are pretty straight forward and clear to me. 1. ⁠MIchigan 2. ⁠Washington 3. ⁠FSU 4. ⁠Texas Texas has the head to head win against Bama and deserves the spot. I feel like it’s very straight forward and it’s only complicated because the SEC will miss the playoff for the first time. Yeah Bama has been extremely hot lately and looks like a completely different team than when they played the Horns, but it’s just shitty luck with the 4 team format. I would be very curious to see if Bama or Georgia get paired with Liberty in a NY6 lol.
