If a one loss SEC champ with most top 15 wins and who knocked off undefeated UGA was left out then the playoffs would have an asterisk.

Why would they be asking if an undefeated conference champion really deserves to be in? It’s never happened, and they didn’t give them any warning by dropping them in the poll before that.

They picked the path of circular reasoning.

---

That's on the Playoff Committee. They have always chosen the path of a drama queen since its inception with its polls. Sometimes just to create more interest in upcoming rival and big TV games. Keeping BAMA and Texas as the 7th and 8th seeds in spite of big wins makes these last polls feel manipulated. Extremely unfair.

So I did expect BAMA to jump that tractor pull game in the ACCCG. And Playoff Committee Polls history says you should have too.

This has nothing to do with rematches. You were never getting ranked ahead of a 12-1 Texas that you lost to in BDS so they manipulated things.

In fairness, bama should have lost against Auburn a few weeks ago

Bama’s close win over AU = that should hurt Bama

Texas’ close loss to OU = we can ignore that

Hancock said it was their job to pick the four best

Then there should be justifications for why each team in the top 4 are the best, all we got was a justification of why FSU was NOT one of the 4 best.

There’s no justification that the committee picked the best four teams if Georgia isn’t one of them

They should have, but they didn't.

And neither did the barn on 4th and 31. And my neighbors are still throwing the wake to prove it. Good times.

quote:

Oh okay so you can't actually explain why the undefeated team that was #4 and won didn't move to #3... yet the #7 team jumped them.

---

I thought I already did

I’ll try again. I believe the committee wanted bama in the playoff and selected the remains teams based on that.

If FSU is moved up to #3, there is only one remaining spot. Per the committee’s stated guidelines “strength of schedule, head-to-head competition and championships won must be specifically applied as tie-breakers between teams that look similar”

So, per their own rules, they couldn’t have put FSU at 3 to get Bama in. It would have had to be UT. Therefore, they had to manufacture a reason to exclude another team, and it was FSU.

quote:

---

That doesn't make you made.

quote:

---

Just the fact the #8 team did.

---

I really don’t understand your point. You seem to be just explaining what happened in the polls.

quote:

---

Then on that logic, BAMA should have won the Kick Six game vs the barn in 2013. BAMA was undefeated and would have played FSU in the BCS. BAMA would have been going for their 3rd straight National Championship.

---

You are misunderstanding my logic. FSU was apparently held to a standard that they needed to be as good or better without their starting QB. All Bama had to do was win, regardless of their on-field performance. The last two weeks of the season, FSU won their games more decidedly than Bama did. There wasn’t some obvious gap in quality of performance.

Bama being the “best” simply cannot be explained without the benefit of history. Them, and the SEC, obviously got the benefit of that history.
