I was being facetious to point out that FSU was once the beneficiary of the same voter bias that has now screwed them over. For all the changes that have been made over the past 30 years, we're still allowing personal opinions to decide a champion rather than the results on the field.

I'll be so glad when we have a proper playoff next year.

With 12 teams, folks will still cry about who team #13 because that's college football fans do. But it's reassuring to know TEAMS WHO GO 13-0 IN A POWER 5 CONFERENCE WON'T BE LEFT OUT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Unocal said: Nick Saban without 5 star recruiting class talent "Nick Saban would suck if he wasn't the best to ever do it at the most important part of his job" is an even dumber take than your March Madness posts. Even beyond that, his approach to running a program is damn near unparalleled and it's not particularly surprising that, other than Urban, the only other coach to even touch him in modern times (Kirby) spent ten years under Saban. He's remained successful despite having his position coaches poached more than any other coach and has been wildly successful at three different schools, winning national championships at two of them. He's also one of the best defensive minds the game has seen and is widely credited with inventing and popularizing pattern matching schemes, which completely changed how defense is played and is prevalent in both college and the NFL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 17 minutes ago, raysox said: Still frustrated in this decision, but I think the worst part is accelerating the death of another regional p5 conference The ACC's death has long been a foregone conclusion. They responded to the SEC's (Texas and Oklahoma) and Big Ten's (USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon) expansion by adding Cal, Stanford, and SMU, which probably makes sense from a money perspective but as it relates to actual football, is subtraction by addition and probably makes it more likely that a middling program like Louisville slinks through to the CCG without playing any of the conference's best teams. No matter what the committee decided here, we were very much heading towards a P2 with the Big XII and ACC being closer to the Mountain West than it is to either the Big Ten or SEC.

Seriously dude. 7 hours ago, Unocal said: They do matter - within your own league. In a completely made up and subjectively filled playoff system, they don't matter. I'm not sure why this is in question. It's not a single league like the NFL, and the playoff is separate from the leagues they play in. 8 hours ago, Germanshepherd said: Imagine if the NFL told the 2017 Eagles that since Carson Wentz was hurt they didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs and replaced them with the Cowboys Poor comparison. The NFL has rules and complete objectivity when it comes to who is in and what see they are. This college football playoff thing is completely subjective, so doing what they did is well within the rules. Unpopular, perhaps. But within the rules. Next year, FSU or someone in its position can hope that their Nick Foles lights it up.
