"The consequences of giving in to a narrative of the moment are destructive, far reaching, and permanent. Not just for Florida State, but college football as a whole."

"The argument of whether a team is the 'most deserving OR best' is a false equivalence. It renders the season up to yesterday irrelevant and significantly damages the legitimacy of the College Football Playoff. The 2023 Florida State Seminoles are the epitome of a total TEAM. To eliminate them from a chance to compete for a national championship is an unwarranted injustice that shows complete disregard and disrespect for their performance and accomplishments. It is unforgiveable."

"The fact that this team has continued to close out victories in dominant fashion facing our current quarterback situation should have ENHANCED our case to get a playoff berth EARNED on the field. Instead, the committee decided to elevate themselves and 'make history' today by departing from what makes this sport great by excluding an undefeated Power 5 conference champion for the first time since the advent of the BCS/CFP era that began 25 years ago. This ridiculous decision is a departure from the competitive expectations that have stood the test of time in college football."
Skip Ad

"Wins matter. Losses matter. Those that compete in the arena know this. Those on the committee who also competed in the sport and should have known this have forgotten it. Today, they changed the way success is assessed in college football, from a tangible metric - winning on the field - to an intangible, subjective one. Evidently, predicting the future matters more."

"For many of us, today's decision by the committee has forever damaged the credibility of the institution that is the College Football Playoff. And, saddest of all, it was self-inflicted. They chose predictive competitiveness over proven performance; subjectivity over fact. They have become a committee of prognosticators. They have abandoned their responsibility by discarding their purpose – to evaluate performance on the field."

"Our players, coaches, and fans - as well as all those who love this sport - deserve better. The committee failed college football today."

Texas will win it all.

smithandrew051 · 12-03-2023, 11:47 AM

I think the Committee got it right.

I thought they might put Georgia in over Texas, but I’m glad they didn’t.

Should be some really good games.

Sorry FSU - your quarterback is hurt. Moving along.

Sorry Georgia, you've been great for several years but you've been a little vulnerable at times this year, you aren't a conference champ and you have the same record as several other teams. You essentially have the same resume as Ohio State. Better luck next year.

Michigan, Washington, Alabama and Texas. It just seems too easy for them to **** it up.

You aren't going to have no SEC teams in. You aren't going to put UGA in over 'Bama. And if you put Bama in, you can't keep Texas out for Georgia when Texas beat 'Bama on the road.

This is just a no brainer to me. But we shall see...

Look at this guy. Nailed it DJ.

They’re terrified.

Yeah, Alabama is one of the best four teams in the country if they’re drawing that reaction.

WhawhaWhat · 12-03-2023, 11:57 AM

Would have been cool to have a Big 10 vs Pac 12 matchup in the Rose Bowl for the final year of the Pac 12. I get why they didn't but it sucks that Washington gets sent to New Orleans instead.

Lessons learned:

- Don't schedule hard games out of conference ... you won't be rewarded for it even if you win.

- If your star player is injured, quit your season immediately. It doesn't matter if you finish undefeated.

- Ugly wins matter if you're not in the SEC. They don't matter if you're in the SEC.

Bama is about to monkey stomp Michigan.

**The Franchise** · 12-03-2023, 12:08 PM

Are they scared that no one will watch the playoffs if an SEC team isn't in it?

**** off, Alabama. Going to make me root for Michigan now.

Again, not all P5 conferences are made equal.

Yet the ACC had a winning record this year against the SEC!

Maximizing markets.

Washington brings the West Coast. Michigan brings fly over country. Alabama has the South and Texas is a national brand.

It is not about criteria.

That's pretty telling. They wanted an easy win against FSU.

The committee's job is to select the 4 best teams. They got at least pretty close.
