You're in O.J. land, man.  A lot of you are.
I'm sorry these basic concepts are difficult for you to follow.

The fix wasn’t in. 
The FIX is ALWAYS in, every time, no matter what.  Any time a thing happens I don't like, it's because of the Fix, and Catch 22.

Hopefully the first Tom Brady-Patriots Super Bowl, the Giants with Hostetler, the Eagles with Foles, all get wiped off the board.  You don't deserve a chance to keep winning with a backup QB.

You can OOC schedule like trash, by your own choice, but if your QB gets hurt, sorry, unforgiveable.

I hope they just go to a 64 team playoff.  At least admit it's just a TV product at that point

Now list the 742 times the backup stunk it up for 3 games.

Bamma is the better team than FSU - obviously
didn't think the committee had the balls to do it.
this backlash is why
Screw FSU and the ACC - yup, bad luck that the QB goes down - injuries are a part of the game
I'd rather see Bama vs Michigan

its not that they have to use their 2nd string qb
its because under him the team completely stinks
they have no passing game and the qb just stands there like a deer in the headlights
until most of the time he is sacked

the team going against them plays 8 in the box cause there is no real passing threat and therefore no rushing game either

I watched this for 4 quarters yesterday as did the committee

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

For FSU Brock was 8 for 21 for 55 yards

FSU rushed for 164 yards with 44 attempts

FSU punted 9 times

No, you actually watched their true freshman third string quarterback, who had zero experience.  And they had more offensive yards than Michigan did yesterday.

and their bowl game they will have their second stream quarterback, who actually is pretty decent and he will have a 30 day period of getting first team reps.

Yeah.  on Friday Georgia was obviously a better team in Alabama. And Oregon was obviously a better team in Washington.  

opinions.    Wrong as often as they are right.  Was TCU better than Bama last year when Bama had 2 very close losses?   Everyone thought so, but they actually went by real results.   Until this year.

I'd guess Bama would be favored over FSU with the Noles first string QB

Probably.   They were heavily favored over Auburn too.   And Georgia was favored over Alabama.  
  
meaning let’s let the games be played instead of thinking we can just pick and choose based on a beauty pageant

when the alternative was to leave the SEC out of the playoff
the SEC and ESPN won't allow this to happen - period
Bama was going to be in - at the expense of Texas or FSU
easier for the committee to use that little clause about injured players than explain the head to head with the Horns

Agreed.   Doesn’t mean we have to like it.
