TEXAS - Huge Fanbase $ IN
BAMA - Huge Fanbase $ IN
MICHIGAN - Cheating arse MF'ers have a Huge Fanbase $ IN

^^ They IN

Next comes to the schools with not big fanbases and that's when the SOS, eye test, etc kicked in and Washington clearly had the better resume then FSU.

They’re one of the biggest public schools in the nation. They have an absolutely massive fanbase.

FSU nor Clemson produce enough revenue to even sniff joining the SEC. Bama, Texas, and Michigan are different tier.

You’re a fricking clown if you think FSU and Clemson aren’t revenue generators. They’re national brands with lots of alumni and money.

Florida State is one of the most recognizable brands in college athletics.

You can argue if somebody else should of got in over Bama but FSU is not one of those teams imo they have looked like a fringe top 10 team the last 2 weeks

Oregon, OSU, Georgia would beat FSU probably by double digits.

They did when Bobby Bowden was coach. The way the FSU administration booted Booby out and kicked him to the curb was disgraceful to Bobby Bowden and they lost a LOT of die hard fans (including me)

I actually went to school there and will never root for FSU again. EVER.

For the SEC to add a new member the school needs to bring in something like $60 million in revenue just to break even. Tony Barnhart told me this … not pulling it out of arse.

ESPN currently owns the rights to college football playoffs for the next three years, including this one.

This is really a really weak argument. Especially when you consider that the University of Florida AND The University of Central Florida (yes UCF) dwarf FSU's enrollment every year.

I think it’s safe to say you did pull that out of your arse.
