OT: CFP spot reserved for the SEC?

billybud said:
ESPN and FSU have had a mini war all season. And FSU isn't getting much love from the ACC head shed after they told the world that they would love to bolt.

ESPN's main property, that they sell endlessly, is the SEC...whether fan paranoia or real, FSU folks believe that ESPN talking heads are scripted...

I don't think that a 13-0 P5 conference champ will be left out..but there is drumbeat from PO'd Alabama-Georgia fans and their ESPN sounding boards.

ESPN owns the ACC and bends them over when ever it suits Bristol's desires.

ACC is controlled by ESPN and is its ho.
 
Big problem...FSU has 10-11 going pro...

Why not skip a meaningless bowl after a let down?
 
BUT ESPN had FSU's SOS as #3...

Played more P5 bowl eligible teams than any other candidates...

I hope they do. However, there might be a desire to win

That is going to be every year for them if Norvell continues to try and use the portal as his main way of stocking a roster. That, and a 6th year QB got them to this season. It's a shame they didn't get a chance to play it all the way out.

Maybe they can use this snub to get out of the ACC GOR and into the SEC or Big 12

Although FSU will probably be killed in the playoff, I just don't see how an undefeated P5 champion would be excluded by the committee. And, I don't see how the CFP can take Alabama over Texas due to Texas beating Alabama by 10 points @ Alabama. Thus, if FSU and Michigan win, SEC is out of the playoffs.

Apparently Not.

This was my first thought.

If FSU needed any further evidence that the ACC is the red-headed stepchild of the P5, this is it. A lot of folks on Tobacco Road getting hot under the collar today.

He's right about how their defense has won them games and their team has risen above adversity of losing their top two QBs to win a conference championship. Their defense is stellar and could easily keep them in games. I'm reminded of the Ravens team that won the Superbowl led by Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Trent Dilfer was a game manager and allowed the defense to win games and the offense to just not lose the game. No reason to think FSU couldn't do the same.

It's also very unlikely (given their QB injuries) that FSU goes undefeated in the SEC.

It's a house of cards. Every year you're just supposed to believe the SEC is better than everybody else, because that's what ESPN tells you to believe.

Kirk Herbstreit, in particular, needs to keep his mouth shut. A mediocre QB at best at Ohio State, his opinion is no more valuable than the fans who watch the game. Hell, FSU's third string QB has a better skill set than Mr. Buckeye. Kirk, STFU.
 
If anyone had any doubts whatsoever that the SEC owns college football, that doubt was removed today. Alabama lost at home to Texas. Their wins were less than inspiring. They lose to Auburn if the ref does the right thing and flags the receiver for offensive pass interference: note that all day/night, when the networks showed that play, they only showed the field view showing the catch and not the overhead view that clearly showed the push off and if the roles were reversed and an Auburn receiver made that catch to beat Alabama, it would most certainly have been called back. Georgia was also an uninspiring team, with a cupcake schedule, (am I seeing this right. Only 4 road games??? and only 1 of those against a ranked team (Tenn at 18). All the blather about what should and shouldn't matter and they refer to Georgia's win streak. Apparently, games played 2 years ago matter more that 13-0 this year when the SEC is in the picture.

I also can't understand the lack of chatter about Ohio State. 1 loss, to the #1 seed on the road, by 6 points.

I'm disgusted (and ranting). Thanks for listening.:D
 
If you need to ask this question you haven’t been paying attention.

I also couldn't understand Alabama leaping over Ohio State who's only loss was to the number one ranked team. I don't recall Ohio State's quarterback being hurt for the rest of the year.
