Herbstreit before JT13 injury

This is GameDay BEFORE Jordans injury.
For anyone who still believes Jordans injury is the reason FSU was left out.

It’s just an excuse to give bama another mulligan. The rest of their rankings not being consistent with their bullshite justification for the top 4 proves this. 3rd time this horseshite has happened for them.

This is the same conversation thats been going on for weeks on this board. Everyone(including the committee) just thought it would neatly work itself out.

I just want to to hear the committee admit if it was actually the injury or if none of it mattered and Bama was always in over an undefeated Florida State

Scenario 1:
Florida State with Travis wins game vs UF and Louisville by same margin - Out or In?

Scenario 2:
Florida State wins against Louisville with backup something like 28-7 - Out or In? What score would have been enough?

Scenario 3:
Everything exactly the same, same score win over Louisville except Louisville is ranked 7th or 8th instead of 15th (Alabama had a chance to play Georgia…what if it was Mizzou instead? FSU didn’t pick how strong/good Louisville would be yet it’s used against them)

Looking back now, the committee just took a chicken shite approach of singling out Travis when there was no way they were leaving Bama out anyway.

It was a convenient excuse

Nov 18th Game Day?

FSU had just struggled to put away a Miami team playing a first time starter at QB while at home. Bama had beaten LSU two weeks prior.

Every single FSU fan I know was texting me that they were going to get waxed in the playoffs at multiple points this season--when they just couldn't put away Wake. When Miami took the lead. When they were down at the half in Gainesville. But when the talking heads have the same doubt? CONSPIRACY!!!

The Travis injury certainly didn't help the case.

Been saying that the QB injury narrative is bullshite. If that were true, they should have moved Florida St out of the top four after the injury. Instead they wait until after Championship weekend when they finished undefeated to move them. It’s not like the second string QB would not return for the playoffs. The narrative for allowing Bama in was started a few weeks ago to allow this.
