Do you think FSU wins them all with Bama’s schedule?
Nope.

The thing about college football anymore is we don’t know if they would because they didn’t play that schedule, but they won all the games that were on their schedule.

There was a good amount of stupid losses this year, so anything is possible, whether we like it or not.

Look if having your starting QB matters after we've watched the Eagles win a Super Bowl with a backup and Ohio State win the National Championship on their 3rd string....We've seen it happen.

Should a team be able to add a player to their lineup late season and be claimed one of the best teams in college football and deserving of a playoff spot?

Why do we play the games if we will just arbitrarily pick the teams we think are the best at the end of the season?

Arguing about all this is stupid. The fact that there were only 4 spots for 5 power conferences was always asking for trouble. It finally caught up to them, the year before it goes to 12.

FSU probably 9-3, and slaughtered by Georgia if they play Bama's schedule with their new QB?

The difference between 12-1 and 13-0 is so much more insignificant than ppl (outside committee) think. People have a pseudo obsession with 13-0 when it has much to do with schedule and circumstances.

I’d be ok blaming FSU for SOS if they scheduled a joke non-conference slate, like Georgia, or if they lost to their only real non-conference opponent, like Bama, but they scheduled two A++ SEC programs and stomped them. Not their fault that LSU and Florida had down years.

I'm sorry I must have missed the part where Bama lost and FSU didn't.

I also must have missed it where FSU handled their business running out the 3rd string QB.
I get where FSU fans are pissed. I would be too. FSU’s best win came against the team that finished 3rd in the SEC West. Bama beat that team, the team that finished 2nd in the division, and beat the #1 team in the CFP poll in Georgia. FSU beat who? Louisville? Yeah ok.

a relevant question in an alternative universe where Bama didn’t also FUCKING LOSE A GAME.

Remind me again who FSU lost to?

I'll hang up and wait.

Don’t disagree with Fla being down. But you can’t dismiss that fact either. FSU scheduled decent enough at the time. But unfortunately for them that win against Fla didn’t really move the needle for them this year.

There’s just no way to justify the decision based on this year’s games. All of the highly ranked SEC teams are ranked what they are based on the conference’s reputation-none of them went out and won out of conference this year.

They got it right. I'm with some other posters wondering how UW wasn't #1. (personally I'm glad the committee botched it because now Michigan is more likely to lose).

Are they supposed to pick the four best teams as it stands today? Or should they pick the four that won the most games and became conference champion?

All of you that wanted FSU, please tell me you expect them to win or be really competitive against Georgia? We should definitely track it, I think everyone should be willing to admit if FSU beats Georgia or even plays within a FG, they will have proved they should've been in 100%

If I were an FSU fan, I'd be pissed. But I still believe we're going to see this thing play out and everyone will believe the committee got it right this time.
