I like the statement the ACC put out out. I know he is defending his conference but he is also correct in what he says.
yes but now they are playing with their 2nd and 3rd team qb. Makes a huge difference. After watching them beat Louisville it was obvious they are not one of the 4 best teams
You on the committee Larry?Fsu is not one of the 4 best teams lol. They might not even be top 8 if we are being honest. You beat the #1 team that is 2 time defending champion then you get rewarded.
Michigan will lose to Alabama.Yeah I think most would agree Washington and Michigan will move on but who knows.
Say you had to put money up if fsu and Alabama played who you picking? Be honest. I know who I am pickingYou on the committee Larry?
Oof yer drinkin the sec juice I understand. CFB is full of surprises. Hate to see it controlled by a "committee".Say you had to put money up if fsu and Alabama played who you picking? Be honest. I know who I am picking
Who did you put yer money on in 2000? Lol.Notice you didn’t answer who you would pick? Lol.
Would be a good game I think. Would likely fare better than we did against Bama a few yrs ago when we had Kyler but zero defense.Say you had to put money up if fsu and Alabama played who you picking? Be honest. I know who I am picking
Their still undefeated without him. They earned their way imo.Fsu is not one of the 4 best teams and they play in a terrible conference. Is it fair? Idk but it is what it is. It’s Jordan Travis’ fault for breaking his leg lol. Just kidding
Id also put money on Georgia beating Texas. Bama was a better team than TCU last year but TCU still got in.Say you had to put money up if fsu and Alabama played who you picking? Be honest. I know who I am picking
The "committee" stinks. Stunk since day 1.I will also add if FSU wasn't good enough without their starting QB to make the final top 4 then why wait until the last CFP Poll to knock them out? Should have just done it prior to today. It stinks.
2014 Ohio State was #5 playing with a backup qb and they not only got in they won the whole thing.I will also add if FSU wasn't good enough without their starting QB to make the final top 4 then why wait until the last CFP Poll to knock them out? Should have just done it prior to today. It stinks.

Happened more than once.Per the article that 22LR linked
Yes, Florida State is without starting QB Jordan Travis, meaning it would have to play with a quarterback who wasn't its opening-week starter in order to win a national title, and of course that couldn't happen. After all, only 2014 Ohio State, 2017 Alabama, 2018 Clemson and 2021 Georgia did that. What are the odds that something that's happened 44% of the time would happen again?
Most of my buds desperately need some sunshine. They're Dallas cowboys fans at that.Just you.
This is exactly right. Larry continued to defend the committee but I wonder if he would feel the same way if this was OU being left out in the same scenario. Doubt he would and I completely understand the FSU fanbases, AD, and coaches anger. They got screwed for Bama just as OU got screwed out of a NY6 for SEC SEC crapWorst thing that could happen to FSU was a Georgia loss to Bama.
I am seeing people saying well FSU gets to prove now by playing Georgia in a Bowl Game that they should have been in the top 4. How so? By playing a team that didn't get in either, a team that will likely be depleted with Opt Outs. Its a no win situation for FSU, win and you get the "well Georgia didn't want to be there" or " we had a lot of our stars opt out so its not the same Georgia team that we saw all season." And you lose and you hear "see FSU didn't belong in the playoffs.
Its the SEC Bowl Loss Excuse we hear all the time. Bama did it after we beat them in the Sugar Bowl and Florida did as well a few yrs ago. I think Auburn did too last time we played them.
Man we would be pissed too if OU had finished without the 2 losses and beat Texass in the Lil 12 Title Game. FSU could have just as well been OU that got the snub.This is exactly right.

Sorry Woody, it always rains like hell on the losers day parade, hope texass see's a lot of rain.Most of my buds desperately need some sunshine. They're Dallas cowboys fans at that.
If Alabama wasn't in there Texass wouldn't be either. They had to put Texass in because they beat Alabama. If Georgia had won I don't think FSU would have been left out. The CFPC wasn't high on the Big 12 all season so I doubt Texass would have gotten in if Georgia had beat Bama.Why is everyone complaining about a 1 Loss Bama Team moving ahead of FSU, yet nobody is complaining about a 1 Loss UT Team doing the same thing? The argument should be Bama or Texas at #4 as FSU technically based on what everyone is saying should have been the #3 Seed. I personally think the committee got it correct and it turned out how I thought it would based on my previous post.
If baker has a defense against the Dawgs?Would be a good game I think. Would likely fare better than we did against Bama a few yrs ago when we had Kyler but zero defense.
Their QB was known to not be available the rest of the Season yet they were in the top 4 then.There is plenty of evidence to now show that FSU does not have a viable option at backup QB to give them a chance to be competitive against an elite team. They were barely competitive against a below average SEC team and a slightly above average Louisville team.
On the other hand, Ohio State proved they could thrive with a 3rd string quarterback (Cardale Jones) before the playoffs began, because he excelled in their 59-0 dismantling of Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.
If FSU wants an example to drive the point home, last year they came from behind and narrowly beat an average Oklahoma team in a bowl game, with Dillon Gabriel quarterbacking Oklahoma. If you look at Oklahoma last year, they were competitive when Dillon Gabriel was healthy, and were not when he was injured (including a 49-0 blowout loss to Texas). Like FSU, they had no viable option at backup quarterback, and the same thing would happen to FSU right now if they had to play against Michigan or Alabama or Texas instead of the two teams they barely beat since Travis went out. They don't have a Jalen Hurts to come off the bench when Tua gets hurt, or a Kyler Murray to come off the bench when Baker Mayfield gets hurt.
Their QB was known to not be available the rest of the Season yet they were in the top 4 then.
Only yanked when the Comm had to get Bama in and to get Texass in because Texass beat Bama.
FSU got screwed royally and its obvious why they did it.
Not like they are gonna reverse it so, meh.
