Mazrimiv Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) 4 minutes ago, OneTwoSixFive said: It would, at a minimum, deal with one team being left out in the cold from the final four. Sure it doesn't deal with the 6th best team, but things drop off pretty quickly from the top handful, so it is less of an issue. Seeing as this is the final season of the 4 team playoff, it seems pointless to debate it. Ending the 4 team playoff era by excluding the SEC would be such a perfect ending. It just has to happen.

Brat&Beer Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Michigan, Washington, Florida St. and Texas makes the most sense to me. Can't put Alabama in over Texas because Texas beat Alabama. Can't put Georgia in because they lost to Alabama. Can't put Ohio St. in over Texas because they didn't win their conference championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, **** off with this ****. The SEC lost. The amount of people bending over backwards to try and get the SEC in is insane. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan - going to get beat down again though 2. Washington 3 Florida State 4. Texas I somehow fear the 'committee,' will twist themselves into pretzels and figure out a way to screw Florida State and put Alabama in.

When that happens, there needs to be lawsuit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if I were Florida State and this happened, I'd go and get 2023 National Champion banners and hang them in the stadium.

wgbeethree Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I get them "deserving" to be in but does anybody actually think FSU is going to win though? I'm guessing the moneyline would be like 90% whoever they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell the teams go through the motions of the season, it won't matter because the SEC HAS to be represented in the playoffs. No matter what. Guess what, Michigan is going to be the #1 seed and have to play Alabama or Texas. They are going to get curb stomped so why don't they leave them out? They actually cheated during the season.

Mazrimiv Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I want to see how mad everyone is when both Alabama and Georgia get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) As a Michigan fan, let me be the first to say, I think it's perfectly fair to keep both Bama and Georgia out 😉 Edited December 3, 2023 by packfanfb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone is a signal that the debate about leaving FSU out of the CFP isn't totally crazy. By leaving Florida State out you are saying there is nothing they could have done this season to earn a spot in the playoffs. They played and beat 2 SEC teams in non-conference games. They have the toughest SOS of all the teams that would be considered. This is about as easy a selection as the committee could have if there was no SEC bias. You have 5 power 5 conferences. Three have unbeaten teams. The other two conference Champions played during the regular season. Texas beat Alabama by 10 in Tuscaloosa. There is NOTHING arbitrary about this way of selecting teams. The only reason Alabama or Georgia get in is SEC bias. It's really that simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH, if it goes the way it should: MIchigan, Washington, Florida State, Texas you get the Longhorns. I actually think Alabama is the better match up.
