very plausible College Football Playoff chaos scenario next weekend

[budwiser]

Exactly. If you're going to leave out an undefeated P5 conference champ then just go all the way and go with the 4 best teams

they can't because texas beat bama

if texas beats ohio st,fla st and bama get in

Alabama is still better. 4 best teams

[Mr KLC]

If Georgia is up for the game, they will take FSU out by at least 3 TD's. The only reason I worry is because I remember Georgia against Texas in the Sugar Bowl in 2019. They were the better team that night and you could tell they had no interest in even being there.

Same with 2021 barely getting by Cincinnati

[hehfest]

we all know this.

so why were people in forumland still predicting FSU?

are they ignorant are or they stupid?

money was there to be made on Draftkings and FanDuel odds.

smart people took advantage ??

Who in forum-land was predicting FSU? I saw a few on SBR that thought they should make it perhaps, and all I ever said is if it was up to me they would be in 100%. I hope you recovered your losses from your big Oh st/Mich loss pal. Peace Homey187

Did Bama play Chatanooga tough too?

[Eddy Munny]

i told you exactly what would happen, and said it last night. with seeding and everything.

ray charles could have seen it.

Lol, say it ten more times... maybe someone will give you a cookie.


My comments in this thread were making a case for FSU, as a matter of conversation. I never said that's who the committee would pick. You're conflating my opinion with my prediction. I still believe the Noles were more deserving, but I'm not shocked by their omission.

[Itsamazing777]

georgia 2021 and TCU 2022 happened.

don't get too confident bro.

Bama is going to be a beast on the rose bowl turf on 1/1

True but they were not favored like they are now. Let the playoff begin!

[asiagambler]

Did Bama play Chatanooga tough too?

Probably not. Chattanooga scored 10 right ?

[hehfest]

Alabama is still better. 4 best teams

The week before they played Auburn and needed basically a Hail Mary to win that game. They were all but dead and Auburn was trying all they could to screw it up by muffing punts, etc. So, how good was Auburn again? They go from needing a miracle against a sub-par at best Auburn team, to beating Georgia. Yup - better put them in NOW! Whatever man. The only point I was making is FSU got jobbed.

Auburn beat Arkansas, Vandy, and Miss St. That's not good but they really all but beat Bama. I get the rivalry aspect and they got up for that game more than Bama.

I know FSU deserves it that's the point I was making. I'm just saying Alabama is one of the 4 best, not one of the 4 most deserving or one of the 4 that proved it most on the field

[budwiser]

flax st +4 vs Georgia

bams was +5

[homie1975]

lol they were DD faves over TCU

i will be at the Rose Bowl on 1/1. i cannot wait

I heard you were performing the halftime show with the original members of Menudo

Congrats

Okay. But I don't think they are. They very well could still win this thing, but what win outside of Georgia last week has really made you think, WOW, this Bama team is one of the 4 best?

[getaloadoffatso]

flax st +4 vs Georgia

bams was +5

FSU is + 14

[budwiser]

FSU is + 14

sorry typo u are correct

Nice.

one more way to look at it, michigan shouldn't get an EASIER path to get into the final. reaction says it all. if you are to win a title you're supposed to earn it

Much ado about nothing. What was Michigan's reaction supposed to be like?

They, like most, had no idea who the committee would select out of Georgia, Alabama, and FSU.

That's been the narrative assigned to this clip, yes, although I don't think that it depicts disappointment at not drawing FSU. Maybe a bit of surprise followed by "oh we get to play Bama!"

You have to remember, Michigan was a lock to make the CFP so they weren't waiting around with bated breath to witness their fate like Bama and Texas was. The latter two were jubilant because they weren't sure their tickets were punched.

I don't think Michigan is scared. Kids at that age think they're bulletproof anyways and winning the chip was never going to be a cakewalk. Again, I think it's much ado about nothing.

yeah kids at that age think they're bulletproof. of course nobody is bulletproof

[getaloadoffatso]

Actually, I got so drunk one night I was literally bulletproof

[Eddy Munny]

Whoa dude, literally literally?

Like 2023 literally or 20 years ago Webster's dictionary literally?

You should have your own David Blaine type special if it's literally literally, but if you mean just literally, then, I feel that bro.

Did you literally mean what just said? Like literally literally?!

[budwiser]

if I'm on the committee i see fla st win by double digits and i vote fla st

and i would expect someone to tell me no, bama is better they have to go

I'd agree and that's how bama is selected.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Who wanted to see Michigan favored by 21 points against FSU?

[budwiser]

Who wanted to see Michigan favored by 21 points against FSU?

would have been mich +12 but you just convinced me you're right, select bama

most everyone loading up on bama they are now +1 at caesars and mgm. my guess is they'll be favorites up to -2.5 maybe bama -3.

[Da Manster!]

Who wanted to see Michigan favored by 21 points against FSU?

I would take FSU (+21) against Michigan every day of the week and twice on Sunday!

[swordsandtequila]

Who wanted to see Michigan favored by 21 points against FSU?

I'd put every dollar I could muster on FSU getting 21 against Michigan. Every day. All day.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

This year would have been great to have an 8-12 team playoff field...Ohio St and Georgia can probably beat anyone on a given day, add FSU to the mix as well as Oregon...That would have been some great drama.

[Eddy Munny]

Michigan probably wouldn't even score 21 on the Noles much less win by it.
