I keep seeing "well Alabama and Georgia would beat FSU by 30"
I really don't think these official idiots get it yet...
As an FSU fan, I would MUCH rather go play in the playoff and lose by 30, then LOSE IN A FREAKING BOARDROOM CONDUCTED BY A GUY NAMED EFFING BOO
Playing on the field WILL ALWAYS trump losing in an office
There is no "deserving vs. best". This is terminology that ESPN came up with.
As in EVERY OTHER SPORT, playoff berths are Earned, not awarded on theoretical matchups or potential. They aren't handed out like participation trophies aka who is most deserving. Earning > deserving or best
Dan Mullen pointed this out on ESECPN

I swear to God, these idiots watch the NFL playoffs every year, possibly the NBA or MLB playoffs, and March Madness. And when it comes to college football, they turn into raging idiots
"Ya, but this team looks better than this team derrrrrrr"
As of next year, these raging idiots will lose, and people that understand how competition works will win. As I've been saying for years now, the playoff should be WIN YOUR CONFERENCE AND YOU ARE IN, and it will be

As Bevo alluded to, the invisible hand of the market decides the playoff. Has Florida State considered joining a conference with better corporate ties?

ESPN owns the CFP through 2025 so I wouldn't be surprised if 4 or 5 SEC teams are included in the new 12 team concoction.....the champ plus at least half the 'at large' selections.

Looks like it wasn't Travis' injury, as he was injured in Week 13.

You lose credibility when you use the word ‘retard’. Alabama had to be in and when that was the case Texas had to be in. They were fine pissing off one fan base but not 2. That’s why Georgia isn’t in. They dropped from 1 to 6! I don’t think anything like that has ever happened on the final poll, either.

And bottomline is they wanted to put the SEC Champion in regardless of what case or scenario unfolded. It's very obvious the way the narrative changed and terminology was altered to fit whatever decision came from the committee. Literally, the only poll where FSU is on the outside is the committee poll.
If there was any legitimacy to any garbage they spewed, FSU would have been at #5 before the last week. They probably would be below Georgia as well.
It's plainly a screwjob, and most sports media outside of the ESPN shills recognize this. Even people within ESPN see this. Even other SEC fanbases see this. It's not rocket science...they wanted the SEC Champ in period.

College Game Day will not go to Tallahasee haha, definitely not....not unless Herbstreit wants to get 100s of water bottles and beer cans thrown at his head. They would need some plexiglass behind the set. I couldn't even imagine the signs

Thanks, I have a Down Syndrome niece and that word bothers me. And I agree with what you’re saying.

Best team and injury arguments are worthless and apply nowhere in sports. Even with the awful committee format, the only question that should matter when comparing teams is which teams get more value for their actual game results.

Even with the awful committee format, the only question that should matter when comparing teams is which teams get more value for their actual game results. Yep, completely agree but unfortunately this is common practice in the selection process. Whenever there has been an opportunity for the committee to get an additional spot for the SEC, they always come through. In 2017 we had a 2 loss tOSU team that won the Big 10. We had a 1 loss Alabama team that got shelacked in their final game against Auburn and did not play in the SEC CCG. The argument that season was the BAMA had a lot of players that were injured that would be available for the playoff and awarded them the spot. Losing late was not an issue that year. This year by far and away worse. 2 Conference Champs 1 with no losses and the other withe 1 loss. The 1 loss BAMA team who was granted supreme status struggled mightly early on against aTm winning by 3 and Arky (SEC Bottom feeder by 6). Then at the end of the season the were grant a gift victory by Auburn. Pretty amazing how this information was completely overlooked. The eye test sure is something else. Evil I really do feel bad for you. This whole process is a sham.

" best" team is so abstracted when applied to sports championships. Is that the correct word to use ?
