You could also compare just this year's TV ratings for a common opponent. 





So clearly Alabama is the bigger draw.

Oh, wait...

Glad so many were able to tune in for our humiliation. 

I've already noted I don't care about the FSU/Bama arguments.  The committee was going to be both right and wrong either way.  I find the notions that FSU would definitely lose in the playoffs odd.  Maybe they would.  Suppose their #2 QB gets a month to practice with the 1's and focus in on whatever team they're playing...maybe it's still a bad offense.  Maybe.  But can their defense drag any of the playoff teams down in the mud and force them into a brawl?  There's one team this year that horsewhipped our OL and blanked us for an entire half.  And it wasn't Bama, lolz.....we made their defense look average.  FSU might well lose to Michigan, Washington, or Texas.  Or they might not.  Cincy, with his "FSU would lose 85% of the time" can give me his crystal ball, I need it for some stuff, meanwhile I'll refer him to all his comments picking games on the SEC board where he says he's not good at picking games.  

That said, I don't want to be mistaken as saying putting Alabama over FSU is wrong.  Can't stress it enough.  Either team was going to be right and wrong.  If UGA had won, the controversy would be between FSU and Texas, and it would be the same thing.  All the same arguments would apply.  I wouldn't die on the hill of keeping Texas out in favor of a Travis-less FSU, and neither would I gripe about Texas getting in over FSU.  It is what it is.  Sucks for FSU.  Would've sucked for Bama if it had gone differently.  

I'm 100% okay with things sucking for Bama.

Yes, which is why even in the CFP era we still call it the MNC, not the NC.

The idea of a playoff is to bring objectivity into the equation. But any time you don't have an objective path to the playoff--and I'd argue that scheduling two SEC teams OOC, running the table to go 13-0 and win a P5 conference championship is about as objective as we all thought possible--that there is no objective national champion.

So it's still the MNC.

This was all detailed brilliantly in my earlier post, but I guess everybody TLDR'd it.

wow.. not that's funny.

LoL, the Court Reporter was a hilarious touch.

My favorite bit was Texas not having any idea that the CFP existed and had been around for ten years.  It's funny, because it's true.

The Big Ten has such high academic standards, I figured everyone here could handle it.  In the future I'll write with more of a Bama/Ole Miss audience in mind. 

thanks
