To hell with Georgia

You know damn well if it was reversed and UF was left out because we didn't have Mertz you would throw a fit.....

Yes FSU would be the weakest of the 4....but they are undefeated...what more do you have to do? Make sure all the players still healthy now? They still beat a good team last night....

Take your O&B glasses off and admit you shouldn't be penalized for something out of your control

It's the 4 best teams, not 4 best records.

fsu isn't even a top 8 team. and Louisville is awful.

They got it right

Turns out Smokey Robinson was wrong; the tears of a clown aren’t that sad.

If their back-up would’ve have been able to move the ball effectively against one of the worst defenses in the country and a team with a losing record, then they’d have an argument. As it stands TODAY, they probably aren’t a top 15 team.

Hes such an idiot, deserve? we all deserve something, Heck Liberty "deserves" to be in the playoff. Its about the 4 best teams playing for the championship. Letting FSU in because they deserve it is ignoring the reality that without Travis they are not the 4th best team. Might as well just give everyone participation trophies because they deserve it and call it day. Frickin nole

They are definitely better with him but I still don't think they are top 4. They still struggled with him playing.

Who the heck listens to Mullen? And why would any Gator quote him?

I was relaying a message. I wasn't listening to him, just watching the show.

fsu with Travis is a top 10 but not top 5 team. Without him they are at best in the 15-20 range.

I love all the sad nole tears, they taste delicious.

The same argument is made by the TCUs and Boise States every year.

Exactly…and the 65-7 drubbing aside, more often than not, those teams won their games or were in it until the very end….for years the narrative was just if you weren’t in a P5 conference you didn’t deserve to be in…now you have to make sure certain players stay healthy? That’s an impossible task

The bowl committee will be doing a disservice to football fans if they do not put Georgia and Florida state in a bowl together. I would love to see that game.

Gators knocked the clowns out again!

Well what do you know, there is a silver lining to this disaster of a season (coach) after all.

The drubbing last year was the ONLY time one of those teams actually made it to the big game. Every other time, like with BSU beat Oklahoma, it was an exhibition game.

I think expanding beyond the games we already have is a mistake. What needs to happen is the CGs simply need to be part of the playoff. It is beyond stupid to play the CGs and THEN vote on the playoff.

The easiest fix is for the committee to take the current formula and rank the teams that are playing in the CGs BEFORE the CGs are played. After the CGs are played, the 4 highest ranked winners move on. The important thing to keep in mind with this concept is that the committee rankings are NOT simply a mirror of the AP/coaches polls. In effect you have the committee determining who the "best" 8 or 10 teams are, then using the CGs as the first round of a playoff.

This keeps HUGE emphasis on the regular season and even more emphasis on the CGs. Another pivotal part of this system is already coming to fruition, which is getting rid of divisions so that the best two teams in the conference play the CG, which would have put OSU instead of Iowa.

Nah.... then you just make the FIRST Michigan/OSU game mean nothing. Or the first UF/UT game in the 90s mean nothing.

Just let every every Conference Champion with 0 or 1 loss in the playoff, and adjust bye weeks accordongly, using old BCS formula which really got it right. 3 teams qualify? 1 has a bye, 2 plays 3. 5 teams qualify? 1 bye, 2 plays 5 and 3 plays 4.

There arent 8 teams.who have earned a shot at an NC and there sure as fuchs arent 12 or 16.

The BCS would put Michigan vs Washington in NC and that is the right result. None of the second tier teams except FSU even have an argument for being #1 or #2. They are arguing about being number fuchsing 4.

We argue now about #4 and in a few years we will be arguing about which **** 3 loss team didnt deserve to fet left out of #12 or #16.

Fuchs the playoff and fuchs destroying the bowls.

This isn't true, because the seeding would put the loser down the list to the point where they need teams ahead of them to lose in order to make the playoff. And BTW games like that will NEVER mean nothing.

 

[Joegator96]

Oh I know I am just saying it's not right/fair

participation trophy for you

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Oh well at least this reoccurring nightmare of mine turned out to be not true after all...I thought the way the football gods have been treating us lately UGA and Fsux would end up playing for a NC and at halftime it would be announced that Karl got a 5 year extension and 30 more million added to his buyout....
