College football is just like big business…about as crooked as a three dollar bill. I don’t care what logic they used to leave FSU out of the CFP, they’ve lost all legitimacy in my eyes.

If we’re talking Texas, besides their loss to Oklahoma, they had numerous close calls this year. They barely beat Houston (bad team), they barely beat KSU in OT (8-4 team/4th in Big 12), and barely survived TCU (bad team). Do those results matter? In fact, prior to the last two games, they were winning but doing so unimpressively. My gut, and…[Read more]

It is hard…head to head matters, of course, but Texas’ problem is that it beat Alabama three months ago while Alabama beat the undisputed best team in the land last night. Recency bias matters as well… plus there’s the fact that the SEC has a tremendous amount of influence in the world of college football and no one is going to lift a finger…[Read more]

I have to think that the committee will take the safe, politically correct route of selecting all of the undefeated P5 conference champions and Alabama. No amount of mental gymnastics would allow them to reconcile leaving out an undefeated FSU. Plus FSU is s blue blood national brand, not some Johnny come lately like, say a Cincinnati, so they…[Read more]

FSU’s defense just dominated, that’s all. Plummer looked pretty good in their victories versus Notre Dame and Miami.

I think the final is going to be Michigan versus Washington. That being said, if FSU can get Rademacher ready for their hypothetical semifinal game versus Washington, they can win that game. FSU’s defense will keep them in the game no matter what.

Hard to argue they weren’t. Two time defending national champion on a 29 game winning streak.

Yeah, but Alabama just beat the best team in the nation. Plus Texas lost to a good but not great Oklahoma team.

Texas will get screwed. No undefeated P5 champ will be left out of the CFP in favor of a team with a loss. Only reason I’m saying Texas is because the SEC is like the Mafia and they do have a loss to a 10-2 Oklahoma team. For me, it’s looking like this:
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. FSU
4. Alabama

I think that your second scenario only happens if both Michigan and FSU lose.

Oh yeah, the SEC CCG announcers were already talking about a 13-0 FSU bring left out in favor of Texas. If that happens and I’m FSU, I’m going to the NCAA with torches and pitchforks.

You don’t think Alabama jumps over Georgia after beating them head to head in a CCG?

Oooooooh…that would be something to see…I know the SEC would be squealing like stuck pigs. But the SEC has so much pull behind closed doors that I wouldn’t put it past them to somehow worm themselves into the CFP.

Yeah, you’re right on both counts. Besides having a great passing year, Daniels has also rushed for well over 1100 yards. That’s something Burrow didn’t even close to.

So you agree that Daniels deserves it and is going to win it? If you look at his stats, and unlike Penix, he hasn’t had a bad game all year playing in a stronger football conference.

Daniels has had a better season than both Nix or Penix. His performance versus the Gators, throwing for 372 yards/3 TDs and running for 234 yards/2 TDs was a masterpiece. I’m sure a lot of voters have that performance etched on their retinas. He’s just on a worse team.

Fuck It…truck stop conference.
