They got it as right as they could get it.
There it is folks.
- Thread starter Perd Hapley
- Start date
Basically an all BIG/SEC playoff. ACC is who is going to riot. FSU and those teams are going to want out more now.
Sorry, ACC, shouldn’t have made an alliance
They should. Its not fair and not their fault. But the system screwed them. They can blame their BS alliance with the PAC and the B1G.
FSU looked pedestrian last night. They certainly didn’t deserve a spot in the top 4.
UGA >> UT
UGA just lost at the wrong time.

I no nothing of how the decision was reached but I can assure you that giant sigh of relief you just heard was from the networks and advertisers depending on these games to draw big ratings.
As said in another thread Bama wins it all. Bet the house.
Bama gifted another championship. Cake walk.
People act shocked. What rubes. Bama gets in. That’s law. Everything indicates that’s true. Sorry FSU. Get out of a poverty conference.
Man, i am going to listen to as much Danny Kannell as i can this week.
Don't think they looked any more pedestrian than Michigan or Alabama did two weeks ago
Totally unfair to 50+ guys on the Noles team who made sure they went undefeated.
If Harbaugh's suspension had been through the postseason, would the committee have left Michigan out? I think not.

I gotta agree, and I'm pleasantly surprised.
I still dislike Bama intensely, but this is the right outcome.
True….but no more unfair than it was to UCF in 2017.
Fortunately, this is the last year anyone has to worry about it.
They beat a top 15 team (10-2) by double digits with their 3rd string QB and a suffocating defense. I agree on UGA. There's not 3 better teams than them in the country.
No more or less unfair in 2017.
I'm not surprised by the committee's decision, but I am disappointed.
Next year, some team that ends up 13 or 14 will have legit complaints about who got picked as 11 or 12. The more things change....
It's screwed up because if Georgia had won last night then Florida State would be in and Texas would be out.
I hate it for Florida State's players, but the truth is they had almost no chance of winning it all, and Bama has a good chance.
It's the right thing.
It's the right thing.
I am not happy about it either. But no one needs a crystal ball, or in my case, mystical powers to see it. Saban made a great deal with me. I hated screwing FSU, but a deal is a deal.
Are you miffed that Harbaugh gave all the credit to your dad? I mean, clearly you've had a hand in his success, too.
I am not going to call in the deal I have with him or anything, but yeah he could have given me a wink or something.
Not part of the deal. Coaches till he dies. He knows I am coming the minute those eyes close.
I agree with out their QB they are not a top 4 team. The second-best team in their conference got beat by KY. I still believe GA would whip, Michigan, Washington and Texas. I don't think the committed got it right.
They got it right. Sucks for FSU players, but as others have mentioned - blame the ACC Commissioner for his alliance.
I hope Michigan mops the field with them and I never pull for Michigan.
Its probably true, but don’t know why that’s screwed up. Bama’s win was as cataclysmic as any win could be in the CFP picture. It was a huge resume boost for both Bama and Texas.
I can place odds on it and they would be very low. 1 in 10 to win it all if they had made the playoffs at best.
So yes, I can clearly say they had almost no chance to win it all.
They still didn’t get the best 4 teams (Georgia belongs in there) but it’s arguable. There was no way they were going to leave Washington out. And it’s arguable that FSU is more deserving than Bama and/or Texas, but there’s just no argument that they’re better.
There's the audio definition of the "oh s---" relaization of the dog that just caught the car bumper
Except FSU had zero chance, because they won all their games and still didn't get a chance, and Bama had a chance but they lost a game.
But there is an argument, the easiest and oldest: they won all their games. The computers, polls, and eye test may say they are not the best, but on the field they have been all season long. Bama can't say that.
Liberty won all their games too?
It’s easy to make an educated guess with the way their offense has looked since their QB went down.
FSU had the 55th toughest schedule and Bama had the 5th. FSU’s best win was LSU and they’re probably 5th in the SEC behind GA, Bama, OM, and Mizzou. LSU was Bama’s 3rd toughest win. The 2nd best team in the ACC got run by a below average KY team.
The committee got it right…
