re: For the "But they left FSU out" people

If there are 5 Power 5 Conferences and only 4 CFP spots, that already starts you from a place of leaving conference champ out.

when you have 3 undefeated conference champs and two 1 loss conference champs common sense is you take the team that beat the other 1 loss conference champs on its home field by double digits. Problem solved.

The ACC owned the SEC THIS year. This year matters.

WHO did you beat to become undefeated? That matters, too.

Nope. Texas is only in because they had to be in order to include Alabama. If Georgia had won the 4 undefeated teams would have been in, even though Alabama with two losses would still be “one of the best four”.

That logic is not 100% accurate. AP even put Texas above FSU and kept Alabama out. Texas was gonna be in regardless of the SEC outcome as long as FSU looked bad on offense against Louisville.

FSU would have been left out still...

1) Georgia
2) Michigan
3) Washington
4) Texas

All four would beat FSU, and have played much a much better collection of competition. Don't believe me? Go look at the records of their opponents! FSU is the ONLY team that played a collection of sub .500 opponents. Michigan actually was just above FSU. They are being over-hyped, too. I would say Georgia earned a spot over them if you are saying "best" teams.

If we simply go off undefeated records, everyone go schedule crappy teams so you can guarantee going 13-0. Hhow would you like watching that NCAA?

1) Georgia undefeated
2) Michigan undefeated
3) Washington undefeated
4) Texas not so much and why?

Beating up on a collection with a sub .500 record just makes you a playground bully

like barely beating mighty 4 win Arkansas by 3 at home, Hail Mary prayer against a 6 win Auburn team that lost by 3 TD’s to New Mexico at home, or having a 1 score lead on a mighty 6 win south Florida team until 2 minutes left in the game?

This is always a bad argument. Bama would be points favorites over Washington and probably Texas from your list, even with an SEC championship loss. Why not put Bama at 3 in that scenario?

Hell, Oregon was the Vegas favorite over Washington both times they played this year. They lost both. They'd probably STILL be points favorites if they matched up again. Why not ignore the record and put Oregon in over UW if all that matters is "X would beat Y?"

Go look at their combined opponent records and tell me that. FSU had some survival games, too. See FSU vs. BC. Everyone does during a season. And, there is not shame in losing to the #3 team in the country as your only loss, especially when you turn around and beat the #1, #11, and #13 teams. Compare that to FSU - whose best win was against that same #13 team.

Bama played a MUCH tougher schedule! I hate Bama, but I have to give them credit. Their opponents went a combine 98-62, combined to FSU (77-79). When you play teams that combine for 20 more wins and we are talking about 1 loss (to the #3 team in the country) as the comparison between the teams, I can't respect that 13-0 record like the 12-1 record. If that loss had been to Auburn, I can give that argument some credit. But, they won it. It doesn't matter how. They got the W.

If you want to take credit for your better teams winning over our weaker teams, congrats!
