THE College Football Playoff Rankings Thread [MICH,WASH,TEX,ALA]

[ApocalypseTexas 297]

At the end of day this is just another example of how the NCAA fucked something up.  They have had years to get the playoffs right and did little to nothing to set a playoff format that eliminates speculation.

FSU with a second or third string QB in your mind is a top 4 team?

If I were an FSU fan my argument would be we beat a top 15 team with our third string true freshman qb.  We are undefeated and beat two sec teams.  
 

I’m not an fsu fan

It’s gonna suck when they expand the playoffs and we don’t have this to argue about any more.

Teams will still be arguing but it will be the 10-15 seeds making their case.

Precisely

[Rickylovesweed 14500]

Based purely on resume, FSU should be in. 

They aren't anywhere close to a top 4 team based on their current circumstances. Not even sure top 10.

Say what.

Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding, you're saying that you think FSU's spot would still be in question with the exact same resume, even if Travis was healthy?

Lousiville is a top 15 team because they play in the ACC. A shit ass conference that Clemson propped up for years now. They masked how bad it was. Also, if Lousiville is your 2nd best team in the ACC, shows how bad it was. They have a "top 20" offense because of ACC and a shit ass OOC schedule, which included the gauntlet of Murray State, Indiana and Kentucky. Lousiville makes Oklahoma State look like prime Bama. Spare me how battle tested FSU was because they won tonight. 

 

The one thing I learned watching that game, aggy made a horrible decision.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

If the game last night was exactly the same but with their starter, how would that support the argument that they don’t deserve to get in with a backup?
If you want to say they are out whether they have Travis or not, then that’s an argument that makes sense. 

Because Travis has 12 other games of heisman performances that most of us would give them a pass.




You want to throw rodemaker or Glenn into the fire??

Sec with a losing record to the ACC this year also

I know everyone wants Michigan instead of Washington, but not me.  Michigan's defensive front is scary good and will create havoc.  Washington is good and well-coached, but I think vulnerable.  They barely beat an over-rated Oregon team and the Pac10 looked great early in the year but as the season progressed seems over-rated. Texas can beat Washington.

Texas can beat any of these teams.

Yes. He would have them out regardless. I don’t agree but it’s at least an argument you can make. 

[Brothahorn 10087]

If they played exactly the same game last night with Travis, that would mean they were an objectively worse team, unless you feel that the third string QB is equal to Travis.

[Atticus 3976]

Sucks to lose to OU, but we clearly got the win that mattered most this year

This was my entire argument against Elko.

This is wrong, The Universities did not want to give the NCAA a March Madness in football. The end.

Coaches poll has us tied with Bama at 4. Such bullshit.

How do we know Rodemaker won’t come out and light it up? How do we know any of the other teams can even score on FSU. Cardale won a natty as 3rd string.

This feels like Christmas 1977.  I had asked my parents for a Millenium Falcon toy because Star Wars had rocked my world that year.  And they didn't deliver.   I got some lame knock off from Space :1999.

This better not be like 1977.

I wanted a Johnny 7 - One Man Army, and got a Screaming Mee-Mee.

My son wanted a Jurassic Park Bull Rex, and they were nowhere to be found.

Arnold's kid wanted a Turbo Man.

Sucks as a kid. As a parent, you hear it every year. Sucks x 2.

With the exact same result? Yes, I think absolutely it would be up in the air.

 

You are conflating my take on FSUs worth vs what the committee will do, which aren't the same thing though.

 

I'm not penalizing FSU for having a backup QB, I'm penalizing them because i don't think they are very good.

But you can’t judge FSU based on the 3rd string QB when we all know the 2nd stringer will be healthy. He’ll also get a month of reps. 

[C-Man 27231]

Allstate Playoff Predictir odds to make playoffs:

Florida State 97%
Texas 55%
Bama 42%
Ohio State 4%
Georgia 3%

First off, any system that has any percentage for Ohio State or Georgia is severely flawed. They’re both out. Period.

Also, how do you determine “Game Control”? Texas is #2 in that metric that is apparently a big measurement the committee looks at.

CFP edging.

How kinky.

 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

FSU not making it in with Travis healthy today has about as much of a chance as rodemaker or Glenn having fsu @ 13-0 without Jordan Travis playing a snap this season

The only argument against FSU involves ignoring the entire season. We have no idea how good they might be with a backup QB. We managed to win some games, against ranked teams, with a backup QB. If Quinn got hurt yesterday should we be out?

We aren’t a top 4 team without Quinn.  Quarterback is the most important position in football and it matters.

And yes we would be out if Quinn had a season ending injury.  I would’ve upset but I would get it.

With that said,  I hope fsu does get in with us as it would be an easier path to win it all.

One of my cousins got the Millenium Falcon and my aunt told me and my mom that she bought it like 4 days before Christmas and there were still a few on the shelves.

Can someone post a link to the Surly stream?

[hookem48 4700]

If we were undefeated and just won our conference title game with our 3rd string qb we would be wanting credit for that and feeling deserved to be in the playoffs.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

This does not.

How does it not? I provided like 11 games of Travis completely outplaying his back ups. FSU isn’t the same team without Travis and it makes no sense you want to waste a top 4 spot to prove that

To be fair, the BCS computers formulated the same 4 playoff teams the committee did every year. This seems like the only year that they won't.

Cardale put up 59 points on Wisconsin in the big 10 title game. FSU’s backups struggled mightily against really shitty teams.
