BUT, this is bullshite. FSU is insanely popular, too. The reality is they aren't the same team without Travis. Bama is better than them right now. That's why they did it.
What would have been the decision if the CB had tipped the ball on the 4th and goal from the 31 with 30 seconds left, it falls incomplete and Auburn wins the game? Same Bama team. Would you be arguing their case as the best 4 teams?

Nope. But that didn't happen. There's something like that for every team, every scenario.

So results on the field do matter. Or is that just a smoke screen?
Because in that case it would be the same team. And by the committees definition they are a top 4 team.

I like Drew Brees suggestion. Have them play for the right to be in the Playoff....Heads up FSU - Alabama
Winner is in. Good TV, another game to watch
I like the idea.

It’s just too early for people to complain. If bama beats Michigan or wins it all then they got it right
Does that indicate whether or not FSU would have won it all? No, it does not. FSU earned the right. Alabama did not. Sorry you cant see that. wake up

I got some news for you. If you look at bama’s recruiting classes for the last 15 years they are always the most talented team… whether they have 0 losses or 3 losses.
If them beating a team in the playoff justifies them being there then go ahead and pencil them in every single season. Because they can beat anyone
They should have to earn it by having one of the 4 best resumes.
Edit: Do you think bama’s chance against Michigan would be worse had they not completed that 4th and 31? No it’s the same team playing the same team. They just really won’t have earned the shot instead of pretty much not earning the spot.
Bama is probably better, FSU should be in.

So if the 4 seed beats the 1 seed that's proof that they got it right? You might want to rethink that

What precedent?
Losing a player is sufficient to put a lesser deserving team in the playoffs.
Its purely subjective, they destroyed any hint of objectivity.
Alabama lost to Texas, by two scores at home, and needed a literal miracle to beat Auburn, who lost to N. Mexico State the week before.
Meanwhile, FSU loses its starting QB, proceeds to win its next two games.
Anytime a school not named Alabama or Texas loses a key player, they can now just decide that you will not be competitive.
FSU won with defense btw

Every LSU fan (and college football fan) should hate the precedent they just set.
What precedent?
College football is a business. It's run like a business and always has been run like a business. There's no precedent set here.
So what you're saying is you supported Bama getting a Mulligan back then?

This exact scenario happened one year when LSU beat Bama in the regular season and lost to Bama in the BCS NC game.
So y'all are mad you played the best and lost? You'd rather have an asterisk next to a title game?

Male bovine fecal matter. Your personal hate for Alabama is nothing but feelings and personal preference.
Bama and Texas meet the requisite criteria just as much or more than FSU.

Neither team will play their entire roster of available players, so even if their was some merit to this FSU would have different players playing in a game that actually matters.

Why? It doesn't change the strength of schedule argument you've made.
So why doesn't strength of schedule matter if Teavis is healthy but it does if he isnt???
They are both part of criteria used. Whether people want to acknowledge it, there were multiple criteria looked at per team in deciding who got in.

In a playoff game with the nation watching they had 55 yards passing????? We'll see if they belonged against Georgia.

Not remotely the same thing. Yes, Team USA wasn't given much a chance until they proved themselves in group play. They tied a very tough Sweden (who earned a bronze) and beat the brakes off a silver-medal projected Czech team. They then soundly beat the rest of the teams in their group. Not a comparable situation.

I feel bad for FSU and at the same time understand that the committee is wanting to put best teams in the 4 and not have a blowout. I think FSU should replace UT instead of Bama though.
The conclusion that Bama should've been replaced instead of UT is incorrect IMO. Sure UT beat Bama but Milroe was terrible at the beginning of the season and was benched early on in the season. This Bama team is different now.
UT lost to OU in a rivalry game. Bama's loss to UT is much better than their loss and Bama beat the #1. I know, Bama almost lost to Auburn and needed a miracle.
So IMO if FSU was going to be in the top 4 it should've been UT that was left out.

For the people touting the 6-4 record for ACC vs SEC did anybody else take a look at the teams that includes? It’s a joke.
No games vs Bama or UGA
3 games vs bottom dwellers Vandy and USC a combined 7-17. C’mon man?
Runner up in the SEC West Ole Miss won their ACC matchup and even UK who was crap won their game vs Louisville.
PEOPLE please stop using this stat it’s proof that there are:
1. Lies
2. Damn Lies
3. And then Statistics.
