  1. So does DeBoer. This is going to be a fascinating display of offense. I’m excited for this game
  2. I am consistently astounded by how dumb you are. I never said they cannot put Alabama and Texas in over FSU. I said they cannot reasonably go Texas-FSU-Alabama 3-4-5 as you were suggesting because that makes no sense. You defer to the record and put 13-0 FSU and 3 and Texas at 4; or you consider FSU inferior without Travis and put Texas 3, Bama at 4. Lo and behold, they did the latter. Regardless of what I think of the choice I acknowledge their logic is consistent.
  3. For UGA absolutely. I could see FSU wanting to go 14-0 and claim a title. I would in their shoes.
  4. I am surprised they actually did it and left a 13-0 P5 champion out. As soon as you saw Texas at 3 you knew that would happen. If Texas is seeded over FSU, Alabama has to be. At least their logic was consistent - although honestly sticking to the present, FSU should honestly be way down the rankings. I don’t know how I feel about it to be honest. There are obvious competitive issues leaving a 13-0 P5 team out in favor of a 12-1 team. It’s also probably true that Michigan or Washington would have beaten FSU soundly; but we don’t know that for sure. Between that and FSU passing two tests on backup QBs and I think I come down on the side of them deserving their shot, but I do understand why the committee went with Alabama. There’s an argument there beyond just “SECSECSEC.” No clean, right answer on the fourth team with how the CCGs went, really.
  5. Man that shit made no sense to me. Washington -3 at home (i.e. neutral field pick'em) six weeks ago to Oregon -9.5 on a neutral now. Oregon -3 or something to account for Washington screwing around, okay. But 9.5 points? That was wild.
  6. Because it reasonably that's the only way it can be. The committee could always just go off the reservation with extreme, naked SEC bias but there isn't anything to support that so it isn't worth talking about But what you fail to grasp is that it does not mean that team goes automatically into the 4 seed.
  7. This is the only reason they would seed FSU #4. I don't think they would come out and say it but it would basically be "We felt like we had to put the 13-0 team in but it would be really weird to give the 2 seed a bye instead of the 1 seed." Their actual outward explanation, whatever it is, would make no sense.
  8. If you seed Texas over FSU because Texas is better right now, there is no FSU/Bama debate. Bama would also wreck FSU today. This is not rocket surgery guys.
  9. I admit I haven't ever watched one of these live since it's been irrelevant to Texas. I would think they get on with it after 10-15 mins to have the spotlight before people start migrating to NFL games.
  10. No, this is the only logical approach: You can't put Texas over FSU because they are better right now, but not Alabama. Conversely, if you defer to 13-0 and it comes down to Texas vs Alabama for the last spot, that is an easy decision. Texas 3, FSU 4 is logically inconsistent.
  11. lol I heard that on TV and did one of these:
  12. This is my prediction. Leaving out an undefeated P5 feels like a non starter. They had two chances to blow it on the road against a rival and in a CCG, and didn’t. Bama has a slightly better resume than Texas but it does not overcome a two score Texas win. Bama feels like the odd man out here.
  13. Yeah I heard this from the announcers on the FSU game ironically, while they were trying to gas up FSU. Made no sense. Logically, whether it’s viewed as direct competition with Bama for the 4 or three teams for two spots, Texas should be in. FSU can point to being undefeated and Texas has the H2H Trump card over Bama. To me the real completion should be Bama’s overall body of work vs FSU as a limping 13-0. I think it’s reasonable to disagree there but the other spot logically has to be Texas regardless of approach. Bama has had a great year in their own right and most years would comfortably be in the CFP but in this case there is no way they are ahead of Texas unless the committee just says “lolsec” Maybe they do, I’d be surprised but we’ll find out tomorrow either way.
  14. “That’s a hold?” - Sweat and Murphy
  15. If that’s how it goes then that’s how it goes. I’m happy as hell with 12-1 and a conference title but if you can’t get a yard on four tries from the 1 in Dallas then you kind of deserve what you get out of losing that game. Louisville is going to reverse out of FG range Jesus
  16. It’s not like the UL receivers could catch the ball if it got to them anyway
  17. Florida State is going to win this game and get absolutely rocked by Michigan
  18. Jesus Christ, this
  19. Louisville is complete dogshit. That they won 10 games is astonishing
  20. Email the coaches
  21. God if FSU goes to the CFP they are going to get nuked from orbit
  22. Imagine, it’s 2021. You just watched a Texas DL unit featuring T’Vondre Sweat, Byron Murphy, Barryn Sorrell, and Alfred Collins as rotation guys give up like 1,000 yards on the ground in a single game, again. You flip over to the Georgia game and watch their DL with idk how many NFL guys just wreck shit and dream about Texas DL of old. Then imagine you are told “in two years these guys are going to be better than Georgia’s front.”
  23. “They” was referring to Bama, to clarify. I wouldn’t even entertain Georgia as a playoff team if they lose unless it’s mass chaos in the night games.
