re: Kelly supports the Bama over FSU decision

quote:

---

The committee said FSU didn’t get in because their QB got hurt. Not because of any other reason. Anything else is just an effort to justify a decision that has already been made with admittedly different criteria used.

---

They have more than that as a criteria. Easily read on their website. I'm not going to assume they didn't consider everything that their published criteria states. There's no way they didn't consider Bama and Texas SoS, record, CCG opponents, and a CCG win. That's lazy to think they only kept FSU out because of Travis being out.

FSU played 2 SEC teams away from home in a conference that has produced a NC winner in the playoff era. The ACC had a winning record vs the SEC. If their schedule is weak, it’s completely circumstantial.

---

No if; their schedule is weak; or at least weaker than Bama and Texas. And SoS is a stated criteria for playoff selection. It doesn't matter how the ACC did against the SEC; it matters how each respective team did against their opponents and the strength of those opponents. There's no way to separate that from the decision.

Liberty isn’t even in the discussion because FSU didn’t get in. That’s a straw man argument, and it’s not even in conflict with any advocating for FSU.

I'm bringing them in the discussion. Why shouldn't they get in?
