You've got this Aggie wrong. He’s basically a Texas type grad who made an unfortunate decision to be an Aggie. He’s basically the leader of the 2%er club (or whatever they call the Aggies that aren’t group think morons).

I dont care. DADDY IS BACK. We are going to be a nightmare.

Interesting possibility, if we win the champ, it may be by having beaten the SEC champs, the PAC-12 champs, and the Big 10 Champs. 

As it should be.

MAYBE GO FUCK YOURSELF

YOU ARE WANDERING THE DESERT AFTER YOUR 100 YEAR DECISION LASTED 12

YOU ARE LOSING YOUR FUCKING TEAM AND CANT EVEN KEEP YOUR BAG DROPPER

FUCKING TEXAS IS BACK AND WE ARE GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE FOR YOU

I'm sure you'll be able to point me to where I said that Texas shouldn't be in. Surely.

I didn’t bring up TCU, was just responding to other TCU comments.

And I haven’t said that FSU wasn’t screwed. But I have stated that I understand the SOS between Bammer and Tomahawk being a big factor.

Well the line of conversation for this one who ever I was responding to did raise TCU as an exemplar for … leaving FSU out?  Odd.

I appreciate McElroy trying to be unbiased but there isn’t a person in the country that wants to hear a former Bama QB talk about who should have made it between Bama and FSU.

So aggy has a 50/50 shot at winning at national championship?

100% ya stupid sip. Seattle stole the 12th man and Michigan is loyal to the aggy honor code.

That reaction tells everyone the committee made the correct choice.   Their hopes and optimism disintegrated.  Lol

Yeah they definitely wanted FSU they probably cheered when Texas was 3 too

Oh, I totally get it, it just sucks for them. They did everything that they possibly could (except not having better backup quarterbacks, I guess?) and are more deserving.

I agree that Alabama should have been left off. After we beat them, most aggies were saying that this was the worst Alabama team since they joined the SEC.

You didnt, I am just fucking on cloud 9

I didn't think they had the balls to leave FSU out. I was wrong. Good to know they weren’t deciding between us and FSU. Let’s go win this motherfucker. 

All of that is true, but the ACC is a major conference and has won the national championship a couple of times in the last few years.  Who knew Clemson was going to be bad this year?  You play the teams in your conference and on your schedule.  

The ACC has been weak for years. Lots of poor QB play too. Top to bottom it’s a poor conference.

All the teams in are from major conferences. It’s sorta bad luck on FSUs part. The selling point isn’t even that we’re better. It’s we won against our crappy schedule. Never mind Georgia you got Bama; we got Louisville.

I mean it’s upsetting to OU fans and we don’t have a massive inferiority complex (yet).  

I can’t imagine being aggy right now (or ever, thank God).  

One of my Aggy buds just texted me, “Congrats, I’ll never know how it feels.” [emoji23]

The Alabama/Michigan game should be even money. Both teams will struggle to score. I'm thinking that it will be right around 21-17 when the fourth quarter ends.

I am in Medellin, woke up with a new girl in my bed and to the news that THE BOYS ARE IN!!!!!!! Cant top this!

In Medellin? Oh, I can think of a way to top that.....

The 1 seed is 7-2 all time vs the 4.


The 1 seed on is averaging 17.5 point wins in those 7 games. We’re taking 21 points over cincy, 35 & 20 over Oklahoma, 17 over Notre dame and Washington. Some are really convinced that fsu was screwed at the opportunity to join that list?

I've seen a few tweets with this sentiment.  To me though, putting FSU in, even at 3rd, would have been the far safer play.  Wrong play, but safer.

SEC has been underwhelming this year , 

Auburn is destroyed at home by NEW MEXICO STATE

FSU kills LSU

Florida blah

the rest shitty as well.  Bama good but not great.

No question, but here is stat line from a week ago. Enough to beat Bama until the 4th and 31 jump ball, because of Auburns defense which isn't near as good as FSUs.

Travis or not, FSU has done nothing to prove they’re more deserving other than beating the crappy teams on their schedule. Georgia, Ohio State, Bama, Texas, Washington, Michigan, Oregon. Yeah. I’d put money that at least 4 go undefeated against that schedule.

FSU beat the teams on their schedule, that were scheduled 5-10 years ago. Like LSU, Clemson, & Florida, 3 BCS/CFP National Champions. Not their fault they all sucked.

Compare this to Georgia canceling playing OU. FSU played more BCS/CFP SEC National Champions than Georgia did. 

It was a hard choice. You can't penalize a team for scheduling hard games, that is what makes college football. 

When I go back through my thoughts and predictions, I had this scenario almost right with one major exception.

I predicted undefeated FSU could potentially be out, but with a low probability. That’s because I kept thinking the committee would have Bama passing Texas because of SEC bias, even though it didn’t make sense.

I felt Texas vs FSU for the last spot would be iffy. I figured they would struggle to put Texas in over FSU.  But once I realized that Texas looked so dominant against OSU that they would easily stay ahead of Bama, it was obvious that Bama would win out over FSU after how bad FSU looked last night.

In other words, that terrific performance yesterday by Texas might have been what cemented Texas into the 3rd spot and thus the playoff, keeping committee bias from screwing Texas over. Cheers Sark.

Eh, it was possible that FSU'S backups come in and the offense still looks competent by the end. That obviously didn't happen. But the real reason is that Alabama won and they couldn't find a way to get the SEC in without Texas also being in. 

Looked liked a playoff worthy defense imo. Can't just disregard that side of the ball.

That's your problem. It has nothing to do with math. If Oregon had won a close game, most people would be talking about how both teams deserve to be in just like what will happen if Bama wins a close one. You are hanging your hat on the "math" that Texas should be in but the committee wants nothing to do with math. These two conferences are guaranteed at least one spot each. There wouldn't have been any internal discussion to leave one out. That's in your head, not a reality to bank on. Best to yield these two spots (not more) and hope for upsets in the other two.
Just a reminder this dumb MFer wanted Georgia to win so there wouldn't be a discussion about Georgia and Alabama both getting in. We're in BECAUSE Alabama won and we didn't have to depend on the committee to make a choice between us and FSU. We wouldn't have had the SEC bias factor in that discussion and very well could have been left out in favor of FSU. Never concede a spot that gives you a chance no matter how small. Math.

A good reminder to not argue with idoits.

Glad that Michigan and Bama will have an absolute streetfight brawl type game while we play more of a finesse and offensive game. If we take care of business against UW, I like our chances to win it all.

So who gets the 4th spot in your scenario? ( healthy FSU)

Since head-to-head is part of the guidelines, it would have to be Texas. There would have to be extraordinary evidence that Bama had improved enough and Texas hadn't since that game, but there isn't. Beating Georgia could just tell us more about Georgia than we were able to ascertain from their schedule.

Trying to buy tickets is a shit show right now for the sugar bowl.

Got mine, I think.

You can only beat who you play. FSU had LSU, Florida, and Clemson on their regular season schedule. Any other year, that's a big schedule.
Alabama scheduled one good OoC game and lost. The entire SEC's biggest OoC win was against [checks notes] Louisville.
What else was FSU supposed to do here?

Win impressively. Don’t skate by a mediocre Clemson because their walk-in kicker misses a 30 yarder (outgained by 100). Never ever schedule North Alabama. Don’t get outgained by 100 yards against BC. Get Southern Miss off the schedule.

Start there.

They got lucky too. Duke QB injured. UF QB out. Miami playing so well they benched their QB.

All that before Travis got injured (except the UF game).

They’re unlucky in that most years they are in.

Play a shit ton more impressive in their games.

 

The thing that people always miss, is you have to watch every player on every play, how they execute. That is the only way to grade this sport were everyone plays such disparate and disconnected games and opponents. Is that what the committee does? No. But it's what it actually takes. It would be overstating it to say record doesn't matter, but it definitely doesn't matter as the arbiter, it's merely a data point.

 

If FSU won 66 to nil every game, they would be in. That's what they could have done.

On that warchant YouTube channel they are saying fsu needs to leave the acc and join the big 10 or sec.  Even though they admit that fsu would have been in with the 12 team playoffs starting next year.  I get that they are upset but they need to step off the ledge 

Imagine this board if we'd been left out
