One does wonder how people feel about the playoff expansion that could have happened this year now.
Including FSU who voted against it.
I’ll be honest, as a Bama fan. I do feel like we are one of the four best teams. Taken as that I have no issue with us getting in. I do think Georgia is as well and has as big a gripe as FSU.
That said, after watching all the games this weekend in Biloxi I was talking to a Texas and FSU fan and we were discussing how it may play out, and I said I figured they were both in and we were out and honestly , I wouldn’t have had an issue with that decision, even after pointing out the lack of schedule strength FSU had.
That fsu fan agreed with my points. Both ways.
In any case, it is what it is. Bama is in. Michigan is in after cheating. Washington is in, even though I think they are the weak link, and FSU has a golden opportunity to prove a point that is mute after this season.
College football goes on with tons of people unhappy with who wins the natty as usual.
Until next season.
I will say, this year was an anomaly with how many one loss and undefeated teams we had. Never seen that before. Someone was bound to get shafted.
The committee has to look at the Overall Season, teams have compiled.
THAT is very different from the Best team, which is Also very different from the teams playing the Best at the end of the year.
Bama was NOT one of the best teams early on, as were many teams ... Most teams get better as the season goes on ...
Early on, Bama would have had No Chance at winning it all, However, in the last Month they have looked Very good.
Calls, a few calls go one way or the other and your season changes. (Officiating has been terrible this year in both College and Pro).
A few call going the Buckeyes way and they would be undefeated and Michigan would be out or potentially out.
Georgia up top on the rankings most of the year, even though they played Nobody really until the end and looked very good then not very good, then played better when thier Big games do show up, lost by 3 points and drops from 1 to 6 ... does that sound right ???
Bama, the same team that looked great and has been playing well, SHOULD have lost to Auburn if not for a Miracle on the last play (and a Lack of a sensible defense on Auburns part) give a guy 15 seconds to stand back and find a recvr, is ridiculous.
Florida State, with thier #1 QB would be in right now ... with a 2nd or 3rd QB playing, I can understand the committee not putting them in.
Now, say they played those last 2 games and won say 35 - 7, then I believe they would have been in, but seeing they did not win convincingly (although they still won), they didn't pass the eye test (whatever that is).
People say Ohio State back in '14 still got in when playing with thier 2nd and 3rd QB's, they passed the eye test.
Cardale Jones came in and won the 1st game (BT Championship game) 59-0 and then moved on and Beat Bama next as well as Oregon in the Championship game.
