If Jordan Travis were healthy I’d ABSOLUTELY take FSU over Bama and would be pissed if Bama got in too, but this FSU team is, in my opinion, just not as good as Bama, Ohio State, Georgia and probably Oregon.

It sucks, but I think it’s true.

I don’t know about absolutely, but I think FSU would be stronger because they have a better defense and the better QB. So I would get them getting in.

The committee ranks the top 25, so that can be manipulated a bit. But Alabama lost a game, and that is a great weight against another P5 team that went undefeated. I just think it’s dumb to not reward a team who’s lost a player. It just tells the other players that they don’t matter.

Well, they certainly don’t matter as much as the QB. Especially if the QB was elite.

That’s simply a known known.

There is no player, no position in sports, more important. Not telling you anything you don’t already know.

There's literally a committee of humans in place making the decision. Of course there will be assumptions and conjecture. If they wanted objectivity and past performance being 100% the determining criteria, they'd have never put a committee in place. Their goals are not the same as yours. They don't care who is most deserving, and they never claimed to.

Yeah, the whole point is their goals suck, and also that they change year-to-year based on convenience. That’s why everyone is pissed.

I’ve 100% heard them argue for where they placed teams based solely on resume. When they ranked Tennessee #1, straight from Boo’s mouth, he said it was because we had proven the most on the field to that point.

All 4 teams this year will be Big10 or SEC next year. I guess the committee is saying going undefeated in another conference is no guarantee in the 12 teams ranking that you will be above a 1-loss team from the Big 2 conferences. Sure more teams get in next year, but there is seeding ramifications to this.

Seriously, what are we doing here?

It's gonna be hard to explain how a champ from the new pac 12, big 12 or any g5 conf 'deserves' to play for a title when 1 or more big 10, sec or acc team gets left out of the 12 team playoff.

The only thing that matters is how do the power brokers in this sport get richer.

Even with this controversy, they're not losing... It's all anyone is taking about.

'no such thing as bad publicity'

The people making all these decisions aren't losing a thing...

FSU with a healthy Jordan Travis runs Alabama. And I’d love to see it.

FSU doesn’t have a healthy Jordan Travis.

Yea, so what the team does has no bearing. It’s a terrible message. No one knows exactly what they could have done with a month to prepare.

No offense, no defense. She's not qualified to coach high school.

I agree they're terrible but... you can't take a team full of scrubs besides Jackson & expect to beat good teams. Idc who the coach is. Phil Jackson would look terrible with this roster lol. Not a single player TN has outside of Jackson would play alot much less start on any of the teams they've played the last few games and yall expect em to be UConn/SC level good lol.. some of yall just like something to b*tch about obviously

Well, on the bright side. Media hacks who have spent countless hours trashing all things Tennessee now have all their anger and self-importance aligned against Alabama. Bright side Part 2. There are a lot of kids in 3rd world countries who haven't gotten their UGA SEC Champions gear for a couple of years. Now they will.

Fair, but also both those teams would dog walk the best college teams. Nfl isn’t as exciting but they’re the best for a reason

That’s such an airhead observation - The worst NFL team would trounce the best CFB team.

Really??? Thanks, professor…

The NFL is the highest level of football on Earth. The best of the best players from CFB.

But it is far from the best product.

New Mexico st beat Auburn by 21, Liberty beat New Mexico st by 14
Bama beat auburn by 3 on a Hail Mary.
So NMS is 18 better than Bama
And Liberty is 32 better than Bama.

That’s how it works. Use scores to determine who’s better between teams that haven’t played.
Disregard winning every game in a power 5 conference.
