The College FB Playoff Thread…powered by butthurt

That being said 12 teams is ridiculous and the crying when teams are left out because they are the 13th team will be unrelenting. It's bad enough the argue over the top 4 teams but stretch that out to 12 and there will be riots about rankings the entire year. Right now if you are 9th or 15th who gives a shit but OMG come a 12-team playoff and blood is going to be shed.

12 teams gives us more football, and ensures what we are going through now never happens again. No one will give one shit about what happened to the 13th-place team - they lost 2 or 3 games. Don't lose so many games and control your own destiny. There will be a few arguments about who got left out, and it will disappear 4 hours later.

This year, it would be Oklahoma bitching. They lost to OkSU and Kansas. Don't lose to OkSU and Kansas and you are in. No one would give a shit. We certainly wouldn't have Senators and Governors writing letters and putting up money for a lawsuit.

All kinds of excuses on why Florida State is not in the playoffs; Their QB is hurt, they are not the best team, they won ugly, we need an SEC in there and blah blah blah blah blah ....

Arguments for Florida State being in the playoffs; They won every game they played, they are in a P5 Conference, they beat two SEC teams (both had won Championships in the past).

First, FSU has every right to be disappointed. I get it. So does my team. No. 1 to no. 6 my ass.

All that said, nowhere in the protocols for selecting the 4 teams does it say, "if you are no. 1, you can't fall further than no. 4." Nowhere. Nowhere does it say "if you are undefeated, you get in." Nowhere. The simple fact is that the UGA, the ACC, and FSU and its leadership were fully involved in creating the rules that control the way the 4 teams are chosen. They specifically chose to use subjective criteria, not objective criteria. They even agreed to language that specifically states that the availability or lack thereof of certain players and coaches can be used to determine if a team is worthy.

So, yes, it sucks. But those are the rules they agreed to. And, had the ACC not been a bunch of dipshits a new system would have been in place this year and FSU would still be in the CFP.

So, at this point, I am done with FSU bitching. Life isn't fair. Absorb it, learn from it, and then move on.

I objectively disagree with the committee's decision

If Georgia were to beat Alabama and hand them their second loss, then Georgia would have stayed #1 and Florida St would have been in the CFP at #4 because the committee gotten an SEC team in.

This isn't brought up in this discussion enough. Probably because everyone who already isn't being honest about it will just deny it anyway. But they no question have Florida State at #3/#4 if Georgia wins. So they're one of the 4 best teams if the #1 team won. But they conveniently aren't when they have to drop the #1 team out in favor of the #7 team who beat them, and they need to drag the #6 team in with them to justify it. So they magically go from best 4 to out based on nothing they did or didn't do.

And this is why claiming "best not deserving" is complete nonsense. Best means different things depending on the situation.

Didn't see a guy with a Michigan logo on his face in that video. There was a Bama, Texas, Washington, and Florida State. Just wondering why the person who created that didn't include UM. Maybe he did and I missed it

I think we all agree that the committee is totally subjective. I'd like to say it's a bug, but it's actually a feature. That's the fatal flaw they built into the system. One year it's best, the next deserved. Hell, the chairman can say different things in a 1 minute interview.

Had we beaten Bama, yes, FSU would have gotten in because you would have had 4 unbeaten conference champs. That would have been too clean and easy for them not to do that. With all due respect to FSU, Michigan, and Washington, that was the dream scenario for us. Dodge Bama and Texas in the CFP. Get FSU without their QB in the semi. If we end up with a Texas v. Bama final, and we beat FSU in the Orange Bowl, my regret may be even greater.

It's almost as if the committee baked some assumptions like Oregon/UGA winning into the rankings of the week(s) prior.
 
I’m curious as to why people try to justify FSU getting fucked over hard by the CFPC by bringing up TCU getting in last year and saying stupid shit like “cuz 65-7, can’t have that happen”.

TCU earned their CFP spot in 2022. They legitimately beat UM after getting screwed by the refs in the CCG vs KSU.

Their #1 RB got hurt in the 1H vs UM & never returned. Several Olinemen & Dlinemen were either out for the NCG, or got hurt early in the 1H and didn’t return.

Giving their spot to Alabama, Clem, or Utah cuz reasons would’ve just been another slap in the face to every CFB fan and the sport itself.

I don’t understand why we need to justify Florida State inclusion in the playoffs. Being an undefeated P5 team is enough.
