KSB2424 3,148 Posted December 6, 2023 Anyone who’s ever played sports or cared about sports who thinks an undefeated Florida State did not EARN a chance to be in the CFP is an IDIOT.

KSB2424 3,148 Posted December 6, 2023 The whole point of the stupid arse “Committee” was to be a tie breaker and ranker. However like most human beings normally do, they decided their opinions meant….more. Unbelievable. Michigan, Washington and FSU are 1-2-3 based on WINNING AND LOSING. The “Committees job is to rank them 1 thru 3. Now the hard part. Choosing the 4th team (P5 but 1Loss) between Texas, Georgia, Alabama, etc. Thats what common sense, history and logic says. However ESPN owns the CFP game rights. Follow the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,096 Posted December 6, 2023 Quote Ron DeSantis slams CFP, wants to sue over Florida State snub DeSantis, speaking at a news conference to detail his proposed $114.4 billion budget for Florida, said he is asking for $1 million to let Florida State sue the CFP committee even though the championship will be decided months before a budget is approved. The semifinals are set for Jan. 1, with the championship game to be played Jan. 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engorgeous George 2,126 Posted December 7, 2023 Ah, the annual debate. The nature of the debate has changed a bit from years ago, but in the end it is always the same, maybe had someone else been recognized for an opportunity the "champs" would be different. Georgia got screwed, FSU got screwed, Ohio State maybe got screwed. Alabama got in, again. Recency bias prevailed, once again. i know this much, my alma mater was not worthy. maybe next year, or the year after, or the year after. Go Bucky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 5,196 Posted December 7, 2023 Glad I'm not a Florida State fan. Alabama, Texas, and Florida State were all pointing their fingers at the other two teams saying, "let us in and screw that program over there." Also glad some people other than me were on that committee. It would be impossible to not generate a flood of hate mail. "Here, Let me explain to you (FSU, Alabama, or Texas) homers calmly, so you understand, why I chose to fock over your school..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watching the pregame when they said FSU had a bunch of players opt out while Georgia was mostly in tact (and I sensed that they wanted to obliterate FSU and show they belonged in the playoff), I went and bet Georgia -23.5. I wish I bet my entire account on it. 42-3 and halftime, eesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowards and quitters putting an exclamation point on why they had no business in the playoffs That's just silly, there's no point in playing in these games unless you're in the final 4. The system is broken. It sucks that FSU's QB got hurt, I don't think they would have done well in the finals without him. However, if you (not specifically you) think this game is some sort of justification for FSU not making the final 4 you're a blithering idiot. The team that was on the field today isn't the team that went 13-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
