Why do you need someone from ESPN to explain college football to you? This isn't quantum mechanics.

The 4 BEST teams were picked. A few were left out who had a reasonable argument. What's new?

You 100% do not believe the 4 best teams were picked.

I just said, "with a few left out who will always have a reasonable argument."

I didn't see UGA there, so that's false.

No. Without a doubt you think UGA is definitively better than Washington. 99.9% of people think this. They didn’t come close to picking what is thought as the 4 best teams

Maybe that means there are more than 4 BEST teams. But that's all the room we have according to the rules.

I think it ironic the SEC wanted the 12-team Playoff this year and the ACC and FSU said no as part of the "alliance" no. Do you think FSU wants that do-over?

No one ever told us if it was the 4 best teams on December 2, or the 4 best teams for the entire season, or whom they thought the 4 best teams would be on January 1…

And ESPN will have the SEC contract starting next year. It’s in their best interest to have an SEC school in the playoffs. And nobody draws a bigger audience than Bama.

They gave Greg the “FSU can’t overcome Mediocre QB play” talking point as punishment.

Committee and ESPN better pray to God there are no emails or texts that would show shenanigans. The Mouse is already sideways with Florida.

Travis gets hurt 3 weeks ago, FSU keeps winning without him and committee keeps them at #4….then they win their conference Saturday and suddenly Travis’ absence is an issue and they’re no longer #4. And everyone at ESPN 180s on them.

It’s just impossible to take CFB seriously anymore.

It’s a business now and there’s no hiding it. Transfer portal, NIL deals and now media companies choosing the playoffs based on ratings. They want to sell advertising and last years blowout game is fresh on their minds and they can’t risk repeating it. If I were the CEO of The media company who bought the rights and I saw that ACCCG I’d be doing the same thing.

You people have no shame whatsoever. Y’all don’t have the decency to even admit, “yeah, FSU was more deserving than us.” You can’t admit it, but you know in the back of your cousin-fricking pea-brain that you shouldn’t actually be in it.

Incredible the depths Alabama will lower themselves to defend their bullshite.

It’s one of the biggest reasons why every single other fanbase and program hates y’all.

We should all be able to agree that leaving out both FSU and UGA was objectively the best thing.

Bama played 5 final ranked teams, FSU only played 3.

Yeah man…no one would tune in to watch a backwater, regional brand, unknown entity like Florida State play in the playoffs. Underdogs have NEVER upset the favorites in college football.
