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
agreed, but they were choosing what games will be played.  not simply waiting for the result of said game
They did allow the games to be played last night instead of just thinking
Bama's game was much more impressive than FSU's game

Agreed.  Doesn’t mean we have to like it. 
yup, I'd rather see Bama fans and the SEC melt down for being left out
would have been MUCH more entertaining than some clamoring by FSU

Imaginarium games being played.

But someone needed a participation trophy, so it is.

well, someone owns and controls the game, so if they want a trophy, they give themselves a trophy

UGA is a 13.5 point favorite over FSU.  FSU at this point is not good.  And sure, maybe they pull the upset, upsets happen, but play that game 100 times UGA wins 80.

I think Tenn would be favored over FSU right now.

And for me, it matters, I don't care to see a weakened team get blown out.

Thrilled to announce that @ATLAirport has been crowned the Best Airport in North America by @businesstravelerusa for the second year in a row! This prestigious award acknowledges our unwavering dedication to improving infrastructure and providing an exceptional passenger experience at the world's busiest and most efficient airport.

Even as ATL continues to receive recognition for its world-class service, the City of Atlanta is constantly working to improve operations and passenger experience. From opening a new state-of-the-art fire station to adding parking decks to modernizing our Concourses, we are dedicated to ensuring this economic engine for the Southeast region of the country stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Hartsfield-Jackson named ‘North America’s Best Airport’ for 2nd year in a row (fox5atlanta.com)

I find it a lot easier to think about "worst airports".  Most, to me, are about the same.  LAX used to be bad, maybe it's better now.  Toronto is awful, been through it four times now, really awful.

The rest seem OK to me.  The smaller ones are more accomodating I think, like say Savannah.

It won't mean much either way.  FSU will be lacking far more than Jordan Travis.  They have a number of draft-eligible guys who will go high....I doubt they play.  UGA may have some as well.  These teams are likely to be shells of themselves.

One of the "great" things about the playoffs.....it has guaranteed that most pro-potential players either out of eligibility or who have reached draft eligibility aren't gonna play.

Yeah, I don't know of any sit outs yet.  Bowers is a candidate of course as he's been playing hurt.  But he's a horse anyway.

I thought the QB might sit if he goes to the League.  But QB2 is headed to Kentucky.

It still is, but once the construction is done it should be much better. Right now it just sucks.

LAX has been the worst I've seen in the US, Laguardia gets dishonorable mention.  I find most US airports to be "OK", get the job done, move along.

We use ATL a lot of course and basically it's crowded.  When it's not slammed it works pretty well.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but ORD is fantastic for domestic flights. The transport is the best I've used.

It will be even better when they build Terminal 4 for International and convert Terminal 5 (current international) into the SW/Frontier/JetBlue/Spirit/Etc. terminal.

Terminal 5 sucks.

LAX is pretty terrible. I try to avoid it if I possibly can. I'd rather pay more to fly out of John Wayne. And if I can't get that, I'd rather drive to San Diego than LAX if I can find a good flight... SAN being maybe 15-20 extra minutes from here relative to LAX... 

At least the last LAX flight and the next one we have planned were both on Southwest, which is Terminal 1, so it's the first shuttle dropoff from the parking company we use.

Delta had us slated to fly from Kona to LAX to Salt Lake and then to san Diego.

They claimed not to have any LAX - SAN flights that day (Christmas day).  My wife changed to to Kona to Maui to LAX to San Diego, I don't know why that was so hard.
