You may be right. 

Like I said yesterday- this should be the easiest assignment. This committee has had over the course of these playoff years.

you have never had three undefeated conference champions before and this year you do so there’s your first three.

then you have 12-1 conference champions, but the problem is solved because they played each other and the team that won on the road is the obvious choice
it would be VERY easy if Texas didn't have head to head over Bama

that will make it difficult for the committee to keep Texas out, but they are NOT excluding the SEC.
We all know this.
So, the Longhorns are out.
or maybe FSU is out

Michigan looked pedestrian? 

Their defense has been their dominant force this season and they allowed zero points and 155 yards.

JJ has also been clearly struggling with his injury, which is why he’s not overly mobile and wearing a giant leg brace during the game. He has a month to get healthy now. If Michigan’s offense needed to do more, they probably would have. They weren’t going for 4th and shorts last night and giving their kicker reps, whereas games they knew they needed the offense, they kept the offense in the field.

In my mind? No, they will not, and should not.

I'm playing committee here, my friend, which is the land of make believe.

The Rose Bowl wants Michigan, badly. They wanted Washington to pair, but that's impossible since Georgia lost. The Rose will be absolutely tickled to have Michigan-Texas.

This shit plays a part with the committee, if you've paid attention over the years.
Good point.  The committee is famous for doing just that.   Manufacturing a narrative to creat the matchup and location they want.

kinda like they would make TCU look really bad, right? Ooops.

Jeem ain't the best at getting his teams ready to play when it comes to the post-season, if you haven't noticed by now.....
Booger has the best set of coordinators he's ever had, and they have had over a year since that TCU cluster. This is his best overall staff, for that matter, and it's not close.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I don't know what we're arguing here. 

FSU is an undefeated P5 conference champ who actually scheduled legit OOC game and happened to absolutely SMOKE the SEC! SEC! SEC! team they played. An undefeated P5 conference champ has never been left out of the playoff. There is precedent for letting a team in who lost it's starting QB- the very first damn playoff in 2014. Ohio State lost JT Barrett and wound up getting in and winning the whole damn thing. 

FSU has to be in, period. Would be absolute fcking bullshit if they were to be left out and results on the field didn't matter.

UGA should've won in the SEC CG in ATLANTA- basically a fcking home game for them. They couldn't. They are out. BAMA should've beaten Texas AT HOME AT NIGHT. They couldn't. They are out, therefore Texas is the first one loss team in.

I don't think the committee has the balls to do it.
No brains AND no balls?
Ouch.

Michigan didn’t need more than a field goal to win, as everyone knew going in. 

Michigan looking pedestrian is not an insult.  They often do look pedestrian- while choking out every opponent.  They don’t need to look explosive.  That’s why, in my opinion, they are the best team. 

I would easily take UM over FSU.  But FSU would likely hand for a while.  But I would predict that same outcome against any of the other teams in the mix. 

My point is- FSU wouldn’t fare any worse.

Never talked to Louisville other than to say they are a top 15 team going into last night, which is just a fact.


This is just a demonstrable lie.
You keep talking about how highly-ranked they are and how good their offense is.  Ignoring they lost to 3-9 Pitt and almost lost to 3-9 UVA and 3-9 Indiana.  
Oh, and they lost to FSU's 3rd-string QB.  And they're not going to be ranked in the top 15 anymore.  Of course.
.
And I'll name-call a duck when I see a duck.  
In the meantime, take it up with your invisible sky daddy.

Michigan looked pedestrian? YES, w/o a couple turnovers and a punt return it's a damn close game

Their defense has been their dominant force this season and they allowed zero points and 155 yards. - This was Brian's offense.  Those numbers are far off his season averages
