The playoff doesnt start tomorrow so your hypothetical is pointless. They get their backup back by the times games happen.

Forget tomorrow

Replace Louisville with Bama or Georgia

FSU loses by a minimum of 3 TDs

There’s nothing else to it. This FSU team is a bye week to Michigan

Thanks God for letting me know that. If this is the case don't even have a damn playoff. Just do it like back in the day and pick a champion before the bowl games.

Guess they should let Vegas set the odds in mid-August and whoever they think is best can just play a 4 team tournament then.

The problem is if they get in the playoffs they're going to look like Iowa does tonight and no one wants to see that shite.

How do you know? If they do then they do, but they deserve that chance if they win tonight

They are currently beating the #14 team in the country and everyone is trying to move them backwards. It’s some of the most insane logic ever

With this mentality why have a season?

Determine every game with a Vegas line, simulate the season and crown a champion.

This mentality is not what “sports” are.

I personally think that Texas should jump them. I think you leave the SEC out.

It's stupid. If they won this game ugly with Jordan Travis, they'd still be in without a doubt. But instead, they're going to be punished for a 13-0 season in which they won their last 2 games without their star QB.


Frankly I think they should be rewarded and not penalized for winning games without him. The defense has had to step the frick up to account for the loss of Travis and they've done it twice. I mean they're on a 3rd string freshman QB who had less than a week of practice. You assume they'll go back to Rodemaker and have 3 weeks of practice to get the offense in sync.

The flip side is the WON with a 3rd string QB…

What team can do that

If it’s just “the 4 best teams” why actually play the games?

I get it. But you are watching a football team that isn't the same team it was all year. They have barely over a hundred yards of offense over a Louisville team with 2 losses


FSU will be a much better team with the backup QB in the playoffs, He is only out due to concussion protocol. It will be impressive if FSU wins on the big stage with all the pressure with a true freshman QB making his first start. Tonight FSU is totally one dimensional with Louisville knowing it.

It would be incredibly unfair, but in a system designed with built in subjectivity, is definitely on the table.

It's also the last year of the 4 team playoff, which for a few reasons almost welcomes this kind of controversy.

I'm 51% to the side that they frick FSU. They are begging for a Louisville win right now, I can guarantee that.

It’s about to not matter. FSU may well lose this game.

They're also barely beating a team that just lost to Kentucky while getting massive help from the refs...
