I love Booger's philosophy but...

I don't think the committee believes it. He said the games played should matter more than the eye test. Point was UGA was favored today and Oregon was favored last night. It's the record that should matter not whether the roster is healthy for the next game.

That’s 100% what it should be. He said it perfectly.
What’s the point of playing the games? If you want the most talented teams then may as well just put down Georgia, Bama, Ohio State and Michigan every year.

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

Booger’s opinion is cool and all but that’s just like his opinion, man

Booger watches college football throughout the year and is well-qualified to opine on the matter.

The same can not be said for the committee

He’s right, but he is also against a playoff expansion so he’s just bullshitting

FSU wins this game and they’re in. The second string will be back for the playoffs. He went into a tough environment in Gainesville and pulled out the W.

Booger is spot on. This isn't a beauty pagent. You can't make an argument that the "4 best teams should be in", because then it becomes a subjective, opinionated "eye test".

It has to be based on facts: Resume. Wins. Losses. Head to head match ups.

His theory is garbage. FSU is not a Top 4 team, but don't worry we'll give them a shot and get boat raced by UW so no one feels bad.

Records matter but when you lose your #1 QB and your 2nd and 3rd QB are terrible, that should mean something.

Power-rankings is a horrible method for filling a bracket.

Booger is right.

They put an undefeated Notre Dame in multiple times, Cincinnati in, TCU in, etc knowing good and well those teams would get thrashed in the playoffs.

He’s wrong unless you got an agenda for not playing one of the better teams right now than FSU. To put FSU in would be a huge financial loss

FSU would be the obvious first team eliminated…

CFB fans deserve a better 4 team playoff.

Booger got some fricked up fingers. Little finger on his left hand goes due south. Guess that's part of playing D line.

Sounds like you and Booger agree.

This whole argument is about to be moot. FSU prolly ain’t winning this game.

This is unfair to either Bama or Fla St or would they dare Texas?

I feel for all thats associated including fans of the 1 that gets left out.

Somebody needs to think outside the box and at least postpone the decision a few hours.

makes me wonder would FSU have been better off just lying about Travis' injury? If they pretended he would be back by the playoffs would FSU still be in with a win?

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.
