Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4809157, member: 55"] O.K., I know you’re a reasonable, calm guy but how can you not be outraged by this. I dislike FSU but I’m outraged. In my mind, it’s very simple. The Committee opted for the 4 teams that Vegas would make the heaviest betting favorites rather than the four teams that accomplished the most in the regular season. That’s outrageous, because to take it to an absurd extreme what would have stopped them from taking a team that’s 8-4, with the 4 losses early without a few star players and then undefeated dominating performances when they come back healthy? Because if that’s what you’re doing, the entire regular season is nothing more than an exhibition season to convince a committee you are, at the end, really good. Who wants that? Who wants to pay for tickets and give up days to watch games that don’t actually count for anything? Why does the NFL, clearly the US’s most popular sport, bother with standings based on wins and losses instead of just deciding who is “best” at the end of the regular season? What a sham. You should be working with other alum thinking about how to seek an injunction or move to a P-2 conference next year. [/QUOTE]
