The arguments has been bama needed a hail mary to beat Auburn who lost to N.Mex. ST that lost to Liberty - TWICE
Be careful.  If you play that game, you wind up arguing Kent State is the national champ.

God is smiling down on the Gators.

No Georgia or FSU in the playoff.  

Wouldn't have believed that a month ago.  We're truly blessed.

To be honest, I can see both sides of the FSU debate.

For those pointing to Ohio State 2014 as precedent remember that:

  • UW-2014 > L'Ville-23
  • 59>16
  • 6>0
It sucks for FSU but as I pointed out last week the two ACCCG participants played mediocre SEC teams and frankly looked like mediocre SEC teams.
FSU>Baylor or TCU

I mean, I remember people complaining about OSU getting in - can you imagine the complaints if TCU or Baylor were undefeated that year?

Yeah, be careful about looking at the actual games. Who knows what will happen if you play that game.

The committee allowed FSU the opportunity to show they were worthy.  They kept them 4th to wait and see.  You know, actually watching the games.
FSU did not look worthy vs Florida. 
FSU did not look worthy vs UL.

So in a demonic, satanic, conspiracy move, they dropped the Noles 1 whole spot.

Held Louisville to by far their worst performance of the year and won by double digits. NOT WORTHY

I'm pretty sure UL's worst performance of the year was losing to 3-9 Pitt.  

But as you know, these basic concepts are hard for me to understand.

let's just admit that the Noles win over Louisville wasn't as impressive as Bammer's win over the Dawgs

Also, we should acknowledge that Alabama barely beating a team that was blown out by New Mexico State is much more impressive than beating Louisville by double digits. They lost to Pitt, you see.

i'm convinced that fla st as currently comprised is not top 4.  i think most agree with that view if they watched their last two games against pedestrian opposition.  it is just a matter of whether you think injuries should play into it or not with respect to cfp consideration.  it is part of the criteria for consideration.  personally i think it should be a factor but only when the impact is as seemingly significant as it is this yr. 

with jordan travis healthy i think fla st would be my pick to win it all.  without him iowa can give them a game along with a bunch of other teams.  it is a dramatic difference & impact to what they are in contrast to 2014 for example when i distinctly recall wondering if cardale wasn't the best qb on ohio st's roster after they dusted wisc in their ccg.

i think that fans overlook nuance yr to yr when evaluating these outcomes & bypass that consideration in favor of the moving goal posts view - the latter of which i disagree with.

i feel bad for fla st but if they were in it mich would have a quasi-bye to the champ game.  on one betting site i perused late last night when odds were fairly even for fla st vs bama making the po fsu's odds for winning it all were +1600 & ala was +550 which says it all.
