Let’s be real here, if LSU was in the same position as UGA/BAMA we would all agree that FSU doesn’t belong to be in.

IMO they don’t. They will get stomped by Washington, Texas, or Michigan and they’d lose bigly to BAMA/UGA, oregon, Ohio state. Hell, they’d lose to six SEC teams alone.

That said, I want to see them in so it keeps BAMA/UGA out.

Good thread gentlemen. We can debate this and Im sure the committee will be doing similar. This probably isnt even fair to the committee. What a mess.

Football is a team sport. Injuries happen. Teams have backups for a reason. They deserve the chance to play and win.

Fla St. shouldn’t be penalized if they win tonight just because of an injury.

ok let’s be real here.

if LSU was in FSU’s spot no way we’d be saying “we don’t deserve to get in, our WB is hurt”

I don’t see Washington stomping any of the teams around them, they will be the easy out and I would put them out if fsu goes out.

The problem is the committee is explicitly told to adjust for injuries


With injury FSU still beat Louisville and won the ACC championship. They will get back their second string qb before the playoffs. With that defense they could play anybody.

It's even worse. They're judging talent right? So without Travis their offense isn't great? So imagine if LSU won the SEC but they said "well your defense sucks so you're out".

The records > who is healthy for next game. That is the philosophy of all participation trophy kids that are now adults. Same people that think the bulls would have been just as good with Jordan hurt on the bench. With bird hurt on the bench. With magic hurt on the bench.

Do you leftist equity Equality deserving retardians think we would have been a top 4 team without burrow? F no. Do you think we would have won a ship without burrow? Do you think a company runs as good and is just as good if all it's experienced workers quit and it's just left with newbies?

FSU isn't where it is without Travis. Without him, they are not a top 4 team in the country and any of the top 8 teams in the country beats them. Other than us, who have they beaten?
Yall more deserving bs is why tcu got in last year. We all saw how that turned out. But but they beat Michigan. Yeah, who does Michigan ever play? They beat osu this year though. Big whoop. Who osu beat? Penn st? Wow. Who Penn st beat that was ranked? Iowa? Iowa beat zero ranked teams. Osu did beat ND though. Who ND beat that was ranked? ND beat zero tes that are currently ranked.

So talking about records and more deserving

FSU beat us. That's it
Mich beat teams that beat ranked teams and those ranked teams beat zero ranked teams. It's like a boxer beating people who are undefeated but those people with undefeated records beat 50 glass Joe's.

Then Oregon, beat nobodies
Washington really beat nobodies
Osu beat nobodies

You best measuring stick is eye test and taking into account level of completion of those teams at the time and if they have star players hurt or injured.

Damn, I know many here hate Bama but who here thinks FSU is better than them? With JT, yes! But w/o him, no way in hell! I just watched them play a shitty Louisville team with possibly the worst QB in CFB and they struggled to win. Even with their QB2 coming back, they are only marginally better.

If we're being totally honest, Bama and UGA belong in the playoffs.

I think FSU can beat Washington. Call me crazy but I think their defense would give the Huskies fits and washingtons defense is shitty enough for FSU to generate more offense than we saw tonight.

The games player on the field, or sports, are all that matters

Exactly. If "best team" aka eye test was so important why do they seem to not give two shits about strength of schedule and favor win/loss record.

Are you serious? Ignoring record on the field and using a subjective eye test is the better comparison to a "participation trophy". They didn't earn their spot and you want to give it to them anyway because you "feel" they're better.

The injury argument was never meant to be to keep a team out. It was always used to say if a team had a player out and didn’t win as convincingly that it would not be held negatively against them.

Only now with trying to get Bama and Texas in has it changed to be a team can be punished for a player injury.

Remember when ESPN used to run the “every game matters” commercials.

Until Bama lost one and it didnt matter.
