2023 college football playoffs

[AirForceOrange]

I wonder if Jordan Travis had got hurt late in the game last night, would the decision have been different? The committee basically said that FSU was a different team in the last two games without him. So, if there was really no game play to see a difference would FSU be in?

SEC...

BIG1G & Notre Dame

Everyone else...

The pecking order for CFB playoffs.

If Michigan played FSU would the line be greater than it is against Bama?

Mich is -2 vs Ala. it would be close to 15 vs FSU

 

[blue&orange]

Does this mean the Bills can still make the playoffs if they go 7 and 10 but the NFL still thinks they would be favored over the Steelers or Browns or Colts on a neutral field?

Agreed I’m a Browns fan and Watson is out for the year. I suspect they’ll limp into playoffs but this is like taking the playoff spot away bc they have one key injury.

I know I’ll get crap for this but it’s not a reactionary comment. ACC could at least attempt to sue NCAA for not following their standards for selecting teams in the playoffs. We’re not talking about excluding a kid from the kickball game during recess. CFB playoffs are huge money. The angle is the economic impact caused by the NCAA by not following their own written guidelines and seeming to favor two specific conferences.

This was a decision made by TV executives. Its inarguable. The games literally don’t matter. Incredible

College football...the sport that names a trophy after a guy who got suspended from the NFL for gambling.

 

[Whitey23]

If you thought FSU and Clemson wanted out before….

 

[Pdpay]

Money talks. Gotta believe the tv playoff ratings take a big hit without an sec team and you have to think the committee was aware. Florida state was robbed. ESPN/abc lose a lot of money if fsu makes the playoff. Herbstreit is just a shill for ESPN. Good for Booger for speaking the truth.

 

[Trueblue25]

The ACC had winning records vs the Big 10 and SEC this year but sucks because Clemson had their first average season in how long?

College footballs handled by mouthbreathing morons

 

[hoopsupstate]

Do you think FSU would have got in over Texas if Georgia won yesterday? I’m not sure.

The thing is, if FSU was in the SEC or B1G they probably wouldn't even be in consideration/undefeated.

Contending teams with top rated skill players, especially at qb , are going to start holding them out against lousy teams and in all games where they're comfortably ahead.

 

[djorange1989]

All Michigan does is win with defense and a running game. Now that FSU has to do that, and has proven they can do that, they are out. Makes sense

Good point. Travis got hurt against N Alabama.

 

[kmart128]

An undeafted power 5 team not making it to playoffs is ridiculous. If they beat Georgia now theyll have a claim to Championship
What a failure by the committee

This is 1,000% what went down.

 

[baggerbob]

Makes sense committee took 4 best teams but not the 4 best resumes.

Wrong a team that beats A bad Auburn team by scoring a TD on 4th and 31 as time runs out is not one of the best teams in football. They shouldn't have even been in the Championship game.
Then bad replay officials gave them a gift
against Georgia.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Surely will not be abused in the future

 

[rrlbees]

The cheaters, hate ‘em.
Alabama, hate ‘em.
Texas, hate ‘em.

Go Washington!

Agreed but you’re never gonna convince them of that.

 

[gmoney44]

I hate Florida State but this is an offensively poor outcome. The season doesn’t even matter

For the record I think FSU beats Texas and Bama head to head.

You may be the only non FSU fan in the world that believes that.

Mcelroy sitting up there pretending to objectively analyze the day was so douchey

 

[dan7800]

Maybe 1 point

Highly doubt this. The line would almost surely be the largest in CFP history
