The most appealing Championship game with the most hype/backstory and manufactured dramatic bullshit would be Texas vs. Bama.

The Teacher vs the Pupil

No thanks.

Georgia wasn’t some dominant team this year. They seem to struggle a lot. It’s not like they were constantly destroying people like in the past.

Come on, bro. UT Martin, Ball State, and UAB are a Murderer's Row of an OOC.

The only logical ranking is:

 

1 Michigan 

2 Washington

3 Texas

4 FSU/Bama debate

No, this is the only logical approach:

If Bama is in, we're the 3. If FSU is in, we're the 4. I hope we're the 4 just to get the Rose Bowl but I can live with gumbo and hurricanes. 

You can't put Texas over FSU because they are better right now, but not Alabama. Conversely, if you defer to 13-0 and it comes down to Texas vs Alabama for the last spot, that is an easy decision. Texas 3, FSU 4 is logically inconsistent.

Texas is a better team than FSU full stop including the loss. You can jump them. If it’s a Texas FSU debate Texas is in over FSU 10/10 times. It’s the bama FSU debate that is raging.

We kept Penix in check during the bowl game last year. He was pretty inefficient. They ran the ball all over our ass and that’s why we lost. 

Yeah, I'm still going back and forth on if I want the 3 or 4 seed. I would not be overly excited to have to potentially beat Bama twice, so if we're assuming we'd be the 4 seed if FSU gets in, I think that's my choice.

Probably closer to 1 EST. It starts at noon, but they will have their dog and pony show to milk the ad dollars.

I admit I haven't ever watched one of these live since it's been irrelevant to Texas. I would think they get on with it after 10-15 mins to have the spotlight before people start migrating to NFL games.

It’s the most logical because of the Texas/Bama h2h. 
 

the debate now is for the committee decides on deserving vs best between FSU/Bama

This. I don't see any way the committee has FSU in at #3. They/bama are at #4. Putting FSU in a #3 is a real screw job to the #1 seed and I just can't see the committee doing that.

We'd get U-Dub as the #3 seed, right? I'm okay with a Bama rematch for the National Championship.

Playing Michigan first as the #4 will be ideal, though.

If you seed Texas over FSU because Texas is better right now, there is no FSU/Bama debate. Bama would also wreck FSU today. This is not rocket surgery guys.

You’re quite literally making it rocket surgery. Unequivocally the top 3 are Michigan, Washington, Texas. The debate is the 4th spot and is what the committee didn’t want period.

Vegas likely would still make Georgia a favorite if they played Alabama tomorrow.

Not so sure, I thought Georgia looked pretty pedestrian yesterday.  I honestly haven't watched them play much this year, so maybe the last couple weeks are a byproduct of some of the injuries or just bad days.  That said, I'm certainly enjoying the desperation coming out of Georgia right now.  I guess it's Kirby's job to fight to the end, but the optics are delightfully pathetic.

Correct. Texas should be 4. It is the most defensible position for a committee leaving out Bama. Texas will be 3 if Bama is in.

This is the only reason they would seed FSU #4. I don't think they would come out and say it but it would basically be "We felt like we had to put the 13-0 team in but it would be really weird to give the 2 seed a bye instead of the 1 seed." Their actual outward explanation, whatever it is, would make no sense.

They can always just swap Washington and Michigan at 1 and 2 if they are that worried about the top seed getting a "bye"

I find I’m so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s an excitement only a long-suffering fan who has survived a brutal 15 years can feel, a fan at the start of a long journey into a new conference with great depth, coaching and recruiting. I hope the team makes it across the border into the CFP. I hope the team lifts another national championship trophy. I hope to watch them win again in person this season as I raise my hand to Hook ‘Em. I hope.

I thought about that but then that's even messier because the committee has to publicly say "we think Michigan is the real #1 but we felt forced to have FSU as #3 and didn't want to penalize Michigan, so we also swapped Michigan and Washington". 

It's much cleaner to just have FSU at #4 which accomplishes the same thing without unnecessary #1 / #2 swaps.
