Yep. I mean they literally made a decision that the 3rd string QB didn't put up enough points against a 15 ranked team. The 2nd string QB would have started the playoff game but I guess a low scoring win is not as valuable for TV ratings than a win in a high scoring game. It is like we may as well just play the last 3 games of the season and just use the eye test to think who is better.Quote:

The rest of the country outside of Alabama will know we have an imposter in the final four.
Where’s Lakefolk? He said no way they would leave FSU out.
Now let the :crying: begin
Did you say the same thing about OSU in 2015 when they won a natty with their 3rd string QB? At least FSU would have their 2nd string QB.Quote:

They already made theirs school plenty of money. Just turning more and more a scrimage gane to play young untested players and to reward good kids who rode the bench. They are a hard pass for meQuote:

They had their chance to go to the SEC when they went to the ACC. They chose the easier football Conference and it worked. They did well. From what I have read the want in to the SEC now, (more $$$), but the Gators are saying no. NC State looks like a more likely choice for the SEC, get the North Carolina market.Quote:

Saban had more money than I thought :roll:Quote:

Geographically it makes more sense and both are winners.
Agree…I’m happy for my team but man that’s tough. Do I think FSU would have showed well in a playoff game? Probably not, but there is a lot of hurting kids right now, and it’s the ACC’s fault.Quote:

I think FSU and their defense could have beaten any of the top 3 teams with their defense and their running game but they will not get the chance to do it despite being 13-0. This was a BS decision.Quote:

Told yall
Putting Bama in over FSU tells you everything you need to know about college football. Bama went into this week ranked 8th by the same people. FSU was 4th. Again by the same committee. If winning your games doesn’t matter then why do they keep score? Is Bama better than FSU? Yes. But so is Georgia, Ohio St. etc.
I agree, but it is about new markets and money. The SEC already has the Gators and Gamecocks in those markets and play them every year anyways. A North Carolina team(s) makes more business sense.Quote:
