So far two teams have earned the playoff spots. Washington and Texas.

This has to be what it is. Anything else would thumb your nose at the criteria that you’ve spoken of for the past decade. But of course, that hasn’t stopped prior committees from making baffling choices and using selective criteria to justify their decision.

I think it's the most likely scenario now. I just can't see an undefeated FSU not make it if they win. I think Texas will be the one sweating it.

They aren’t leaving texas out, that’s why you got the dumb ratings. They beat bama are conference champions and have the same win loss records. Plus they played more P5 teams.

Committee will say that win was early in the year and that Alabama is the better team now

Does anyone know if a G5 team gets a NY6 game no matter what, or do they have to ranked above a certain level?

 

[clonedude]

The games have to matter

Since when??

Do people honestly feel that FSU with their backup QB is one of the 4 best teams in the country.... even if they beat an average Louisville team tonight? I don't... and that's why I don't think FSU has a chance.

If FSU wins, to leave them out you are going to have to put not one but two teams with a loss in the playoffs over an undefeated P5 champion brand name school in FSU. That would be a wonderfully uncomfortable position for the committee.

FSU is screwed unless they win by 20+

 

[Cyched]

This "Bama vs the world" crap is hilarious

Only want Texas to win so we get $$.

 

[Kinch]

They are talking whether Iowa scores a TD. That’s awesome.

 

[Inthesystem]

Bama and Georgia don't pass the eye test in my book. Not great quarterback play for either.

A lot of missing open receivers.

SMU or Liberty will get a selection. I’d much prefer to see SMU as their losses were to P5 teams where Liberty didn’t play any P5 teams. Can’t penalize a team for scheduling hard.

Sure would... but don't put it past them. I'm pretty sure they have said in the past that they take into account injuries.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Any of those who think SEC is in no matter what willing to bet a We Will Donation (if FSU wins)? If FSU wins tonight, I think you have Michigan, Washington, Texas, and FSU (in that order)

Watch Deacon Hill just start dropping bombs tonight.

 

[HFCS]

Not a chance that Bama will move ahead of Texas

The more I look at Oregon and UT’s schedule/results it’s a mistake Texas was ever behind them, it shouldn’t be as big a jump for UT as it might be.

 

[Drew0311]

Bama and Georgia don't pass the eye test in my book. Not great quarterback play for either.

You are saying neither of the teams that win the national title almost every year don’t pass the eye test? Give me a break man. That’s ridiculous

 

[cyclonez7]

What a mess. This is probably the only sport in the world that decides who gets to play for a championship by the most arbitrary and subjective criteria.

They're thinking that Michigan will put the laughter in slaughter
