AKB: Two questions for today’s games…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Yep, but if they manage to win they will have their second string QB back for the CFP.
With Michigan winning, there should be absolutely no scenario where Georgia gets in.
Just gave my TT to son2 and sold his GTI last Friday. I’m now a cx5 guy (down to one car, which sucks)
I’m pooped, let’s argue all day tomorrow, say start 11am, taking a break during the birds game. Good nite
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama
FSU gets awarded the “didn’t pass the eye test” trophy. Georgia wins the wrong loss at the wrong time trophy.

That is what’s going to happen and it is wrong. And everyone is going to forget that if it weren’t for the miracle of the year last week at Auburn, Bama would have 2 losses.

To clarify, Saban and everyone else is saying Bama is not the same team that lost to Texas because they (and only them?) have developed as the season went on. But only 7 days ago they needed a miracle to beat a 5 loss team. So apparently this development took place mostly last week.
I do think they’re an excellent team and would expect they will win it if they get in, but in my opinion they blew that chance in a season which had 3 undefeated P5 conference champs.
I don't disagree, but college football has always been as much about getting "votes" as it is about actually winning on the field.
There are two scenarios I see-
Mich, Washington, Texas, Bama
Or
Mich, Washington, FSU, Georgia
I am less concerned with SEC than FSU. Let me understand, your dip$hit committee had FSU 4th and they went out on Sat night and won their CC while remaining undefeated. And as a result you are going to elevate CC’s (2) who your dip$hit committee had ranked 7th and 8th going into the weekend. Either you are screwing FSU worse than anyone ever before or your dip$hit committee screwed themselves and others by having them 4th before play on Sat. Did TCU pass the eye test last year?
The second scenario puts teams that all won the CC, were ranked in Top 4, and were all undefeated. The 4th team isn’t a CC (big deal, CC’s isn’t a requirement, we all painfully know that hasn’t mattered before) and you can argue just between them and Bama that GA’s loss is better than Bama’s and Bama needed a miracle against Auburn.
You want to leave the SEC completely out, I’m good there too. Put Tx in as 4.

Historically, number of losses was the number one criterion for CFP selection. I don’t think the committee has ever deviated from that. Number of losses is what kept Penn State out of the CFP in 2016.
Which would mean Michigan, Washington and FSU are in. Then the committee would have to pick next among one-loss conference champs. Which should mean that Texas gets in before Bama, due to on-field results from early in the season.
Any result other than that will expose this sham for what it is.

It's always been a sham, always.
I agree
. The undefeated teams who were all top 4 going in have to remain in. I’d probably say TX then since they beat the team that beat GA. I’m less concerned with 4th. Eye test? Then how did TCU get in last year?

Vegas had Oregon as the favorite against UW twice this year…they were wrong both times. That’s why you play the games. The day the committee relies on Vegas to pick playoff teams is the day we should all check out because then we are watching the WWE.
One other delicious morsel to consider. Let’s hypothetically fast forward to next year’s announcement that Michigan gets a one year bowl ban. So, you very well could be screwing FSU THIS year for the misgivings of a team you ultimately rewarded THIS year.
God strike me down, but I almost hope MI wins the entire thing only to have the above play out. You screwed FSU and rewarded MI only to have the team you rewarded get penalized for the actions they did THIS year when you screwed over FSU to boot.
Xmas came early, the NCAA and CFP committee are exposed as the gutless spineless cowards they are.
I really don’t care at the end of the day, but I’m a NOLES fan today.

You are exactly correct. My post was highlighting the hypocrisy arguing that alabama should get in over Texas because they beat #1 UGA. UGA should still get in ahead of alabama because they are the better team
Once more time: the NCAA has nothing to do with selections to the CFP. It could rule Michigan ineligible for post-season play, but the committee could also disqualify them from the playoffs for the same reason.

If Florida State doesn’t get in college football will be no different then College BB where the regular season is basically meaningless.
Based on the regular season (Fairness)
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Florida State
4. Texas
Based on the best matchups ($$$$$$)
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Washington
4. Michigan/Texas
You guys know who ends up winning this argument. Yes, it stinks.
