Georgia should destroy Florida State with a month to prep. 
 

I wonder how the Rodemaker concussion changed things. Let’s say he played and FSU looks vaguely competent on offense and beats UL 24-6. Would that have been enough to get them in? 

Bruh do you not remember the last time Georgia was demotivated to play in their bowl?

Why would anyone care if SMU got screwed?  They can just buy some Trans Ams.    Wait, that was aggy that bought the Trans Am for their player...

Uh Aggy bought a trans am for someone else’s player. 😂

The ACC was awful.  And yet they had a 6-4 record against the SEC this year.
 

Congrats to Wake beating Vandy. And UNC and Clemson beating South Carolina.

Florida State beat LSU and a Graham Mertzless UF.

Miami over the Aggies.

Georgia beat GaTech. UK over Louisville. Tennessee over Virginia. Ole Miss over GaTech.

The ACC won 1 game against the top half of the SEC. A&M might squeeze in as top half I suppose. The SEC won 3 against the top 4 in the ACC.

He decided to go for it on 4th and 4 when they had 100% of the momentum.

 

When playing a stronger and deeper opponent, in overtime, the smart play is to go for the kill. That’s why we were shitting on Herman for not letting Sam go for two against OU in 2020. Now the play call selection is a different topic.

I'm just glad the nightmare scenario happened to these dumbasses(and the universities) who protected the bowl system and didn't make this 8 teams 25 years ago.

They're lucky that UW won. Oregon, Bama, FSU, Texas would have been an even bigger nightmare.

Did you say anal-ist? If so, your list makes sense.

Yes, they're certainly not good enough to be termed analysts are they?

All the teams that were up for debate had some unimpressive wins, but they won.  Bama looked mighty unsteady against USF and Auburn.  A three point win over TCU and a TD win over Houston that fired its coach is unimpressive. I’d go so far as to say that shutting out a ten win UL team without your all conference QB is not the shit performance you think it is, it’s a damn good coaching job. The key player rationale is in the stated reasoning and it’s what they’re gonna rely on.

I’m on Texas’ side here and think the committee needed to suck it up in the real world. But let’s not pretend that they do anything other than the easy “take four undefeated P5 teams” if UGA had won. 

FSU looked nearly as shittastic and horrible as -- to pick a game completely at random -- ATM did last season when they lost to App State. FSU likely caused even the most serious insomniac to doze off last night. They in no way belonged in the top 4 and the guidelines are clear about why. However we may need to talk about your declining to let go of not only a completely hypothetical situation, but one that will never, ever occur. Drinks on me!

FSU got fucked. Big-time. I’m a known Aggie and if you forced me to bite the bullet, I’d have said this is the proper slate: 

1. UM

2. UDub

3. FSU

4. Texas by virtue of H2H.

It physically hurts to type that but it’s true. 

If Georgia had won like everyone thought they would, then there’s no convo. Four undefeated conference champs, four slots. FSU got punished because Georgia lost and that’s a cowardly joke. 

The selection committee was in a no-win situation.  Too many deserving teams.  They knew they’d be criticized regardless of who they put in.

If they were looking to avoid criticism, "We put in the 3 undefeated P5 conference champs and then the 1-loss P5 conference champ that beat the other 1-loss P5 conference champ by multiple scores, on the road, by running the ball for 7:00 straight and ending the game in victory formation on their opponent's field" would have done the trick.

Alabama/SEC would have whined because "We're the SEC and we're Alabama", but nobody else would have batted an eye.  Except ESPN...which is why they fucked FSU.

To be fair, having no SEC teams in would have been a month long controversy/talking head show gold mine, only to reignite when Michigan or Washington beat FSU handily. A lot of pissed off people with a lot of money.

Leaving them out, people will feel bad for FSU for week, move on, then Georgia will beat them by 20, and everyone will shrug and say, "Guess they got it right."

Still fucked up and the wrong decision IMO, but probably the safer of the two from the committee's perspective.
