re: For the "But they left FSU out" people

There’s still going to be controversy. When it moved to 4 people said “well number 5 doesn’t really have an argument to be number 1 anyway” while ignoring that they don’t need an argument to be 1, they just need an argument to be 4.
Every time it expands you exponentially increase the number of teams with a case to be in. But it will be a made for TV event and people will lap it up.

nobody wants to hear that but it's true.
Plus, all the FSU people and admins are blaming the SEC bias and Sankey, yet the ACC is the one that voted for the Alliance, against the 12-team starting this year, and approved that shitty ESPN contract. They apparently really pissed off a lot of people with their poor me pity show saying they are underpaid and should be with the big boys.
They need to look in the mirror and get out of their shitty conference.

I agree in principle, but this is not basketball. I think we all know that in football, once you get down to 12 to 16 teams, those are a collections of teams that could have a real claim to say they can be competitive for a title. Not all really will have a real shot, but the probability that you have gotten the best is better by having 12-16 teams in. Beyond that, we are just appeasing people. Even with LSU, our offense can compete with anyone. But, our defense is not going to hold up in a playoff. I don't know if CBK can keep pulling out Cover 2 with underneat trail technque schemes every week. Maybe, we see the Annexation of Puerto Rico in the bowl game. So, while it would suck to be left out at #13, I would understand being left out if there were a 12 team playoff this year. I could see the argument for us being in over Missouri, though. I can see both sides.
You need so much more to be successful in football. In basketball, a great guard can get you a long way in the tournament.

Only due to the refusal to actually have set criteria for playoff participation.
How many teams who don't get in have a case to be in the NFL playoffs. None.
How many teams who don't get in have a case to be in the NBA playoffs. None. Rinse and repeat. Those leagues all have specific criteria on how teams earn their spot in the post-season.
The playoff selection committee has no set requirements by design. It allows them to pick and choose as needed. No problem putting Ohio State in the playoff with their 3rd string QB starting. "Oh, but he played well." No problem putting Bama or Ohio State in without winning their conference. "They're clearly one of the best four teams."
