No matter how you shake it, some team is going to get screwed. I think Texas has the 3rd slot. So for the 4th team do you take an undefeated conference champion that everyone knows is missing their most valuable offensive player or do you take a one loss team that beat the #1 team in the country to win the championship of the best conference in the college footfall? As much as I hate Bama, I think they are a better team (now) than Fla. St. Now if the selection committee had balls, they would take both Bama and Fla. St. and screw Michigan because everybody knows they cheated.
When I wrote the above, I was unaware that the decision was already made. I still think that Michigan should have been the team getting rear ended.
It would be awesome for us fans if he did. I would like a Heisman encore. Nabors playing to break a record, will he pull himself out after those 22 yards? I am leaning on your inclination. Everyone plays like the old days. That would be awesome for us fans and the future. No one quits.
I have no complaints. We get national exposure, extra practices for our freshman and hopefully Nuss, playing in Florida helps recruiting there and everywhere. Who cares who we are playing
I disagree with all of this. You should pick the 4 best teams regardless of Win/Loss record. Otherwise, expand the system. You have to pick this way. If you look at the schedules, and I know most of you will hate me saying this, Bama's wins are far superior. FSU really does have the weakest set of wins from the bunch. Michigan has a weak ass schedule as well but OSU was ranked higher than they should have so that is what it is. ACC was just way down this year IMO.
Florida State got screwed. The criterion should be four most DESERVING, not four best. What's "best"? Who's to say FSU wouldn't beat Alabama, anyway, considering how the Iron Bowl went down? This is exactly why the four playoff teams should be decided by a predetermined formula instead of by four biased individuals. This episode smacks of FIFA-level corruption.
