Friends, Texas…

Might be too many TV sets in SEC country to leave Bama and Georgia out. One of the top criteria is supposedly being a conference champ. Even then I think FSU gets left out.
@spartanhusker We love ya Spartan! You should join us more, if you can... Of course!

Texas is getting in over Bama. The committee can't justify Bama getting in over Texas with the head to head result.
I just want consistency in criteria. But instead, people pick and choose which criteria matter just to get the teams in they want.
Florida State would be an undefeated P5 champion. Which is supposed to be highly valued by the committee. But since their qb is injured and they’re not as good…they’re out because bama is better than them? Probably true but still opinion. And by that logic, Georgia should be in because id argue they are easily a top 4 team and could win the playoff. But they won’t get in because they didn’t win their conference. It’s not consistent. And it sucks. Just put Florida state in. Accept they’ll probably get blown out. But at least maintain the integrity of the system.
Yikes… Bama lost to a team that got their asses kicked by OU? Might as well just make the four: Michigan, Washington, FSU, and Ohio St
What if Florida State wins tonight? You think an undefeated team should get left out. Yeah I remember UCF went undefeated and got left out, but that was different because UCF didn't beat anyone with a pulse.
Probably, but the SEC Championship should just be treated like the first playoff game.
Integrity of the system?
The system is you put the 4 best teams in the playoff. Liberty's undefeated season is nearly as impressive as FSU's. The ACC is G5-tier.
Liberty did beat NMSU twice. NMSU pounded Auburn by 21 on the road and Bama needed a miracle to beat Auburn. A 13-0 FSU should get in and will get in.
Who cares? They played nobody who would even sniff the playoff.
Washington, Texas, Michigan, and Alabama all had to go thru playoff contenders.
In fact, I'd put 2 loss Oregon in way before Florida State.
texas is about to...and its going to be glorious to watch!
of the 1 loss teams, Georgia belongs ahead of texas anyhow.
here's how the domino's are gonna fall....undefeated and conf champs, Michigan, Washington, and FSU are in. the 4th team....Texas? Georgia? or Alabama? you will never have a CFP without an SEC team....so Alabama is in.
tagging the guy who laughed at me 3 days ago when i predicted exactly this scenario.... @LonghornInOmaha
they sure can. they will look at metrics and it'll show Alabama is a stronger team now than they were when texas beat them, and thus conclude the loss to texas means less.
texas fans are gonna cry foul, and they have a legit argument.oh but they gonna cry.
That's the very reason why all teams want to be in the SEC or the B1G. Except for Notre Dame
Liberty didn't beat anyone with a pulse. Florida State has wins over LSU, Clemson, and Louisville.
