What 4 teams get in?

[slattimer]

Because everything outside of 4 doesn’t really matter? Feel bad for leaving them out and give them a consolation 5, wgaf

It’s a cop out. Those spots do matter though in terms of other bowls, $$$ and prestige. If the metric is subjective to best…then rank them accordingly. Not this chicken shit half assed stuff.

But it’s still a load of shit. Winning ultimately is what matters….or should.

The current structure doesn't constitute a genuine playoff or tournament; rather, it operates more as an invitational event, as the teams are selected not based on merit but on opinion.

Well winning won’t matter next year as much when we have a 12 team playoff. Hopefully FSU comes out and kicks ass in their bowl.

If Michigan played FSU, I could see that game being like 24-3.

A completely lopsided snooze fest.

No thanks.

Obviously, could be wrong.

Amen. This "good loss" shit is just that.

So you think FSU is similar to Cockeye as it stands today?

Do I think it would be a lopsided snooze fest?

Yes.

Do I think it would be a lopsided snooze fest?

Yes.

Idk, they would have a month to get their second string qb ready with an offense of talented skill players, and I could see FSU’s defense holding Michigan in the teens.

 

[Fitzjess21]

So if Georgia wins does FSU make it in? I think yes because then the committee already has its SEC team. I'd like to know the committees answer to this...

If you leave out FSU for an injury and still put them at 5 over Georgia? I dont understand that and why then don't you leave out Michigan who has plenty of public evidence out their of cheating and gaining an unfair advantage. How they are even allowed to continue is another great display of how broken college football is at this point. Every level of football has a legit playoff with the exception of this one, instead a group is allowed to hand out invites in a room. Let the teams decide it not power brokers and tv providers.

You’re getting your wish next year.

If having Travis for FSU is that crucial to the CFP-more so than actual wins and losses-he should win the Heisman.

It is still not enough, they need to expand it further and get rid of the stupid bowl games which most are empty anyway.

12 teams is definitely enough to figure out who the top team is in the country. 8 would have probably been sufficient.

I do agree that it is better than 4

 

[Mavsker]

Guarantee you that if Alabama's starting QB had gone down with an injury early in the game yesterday and the backup came in and won it, Alabama would still be in. It's simply SEC bias.

 

[HerbRedman]

Florida St really got fucked over by that early season Texas win over Bama. If Texas would have beaten anyone else with that noncon game - even if it was Ohio State or Oregon...i think I Texas would have been left out.

I think that the committee REALLY wanted this 4:

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. SEC champion
4. Florida State

The SEC champ was never ever ever ever ever going to get left out of this CFP. ESPN/SEC run the thing. So Alabama is your 1-loss SEC champ - fine, they're in. And FSU is your 4th team at 14-0.

I think the committee would have preferred this 4. Problem is, Texas beat Bama, so they felt like they couldn't leave Texas out. So FSU gets fucked. This royally sucks for them because if UGA won yesterday I GUARANTEE you that Texas would have been left out for FSU. I don't blame the Noles for being very pissed off.

If you accept that the SEC champ has a guaranteed spot, an 13-0 ACC champ should be in over a 12-1 B12 champ.

agreed. by the time you are debating between #12 and #13 it's all 2 and 3 loss teams who could have just lost fewer games

The worst thing about the 12 team playoff is that the last two weeks of the season won’t mean jack shit anymore.
