The ACC must go nuclear

You can't leave the SEC out unless everyone has two losses. It would delegitimize the playoffs all together. UGA is going to beat the breaks off of FSU and this conversation will be over.

Committee has already delegitimized the process.
 
Anybody want to bet on the FSU/Georgia game? I’ll take Georgia but you have to give me at least 3 points since FSU is one of the four best teams in the country and Georgia isn’t.

Here is what a lot of dopey "oh, but an injured QB should be the sole factor for knocking F$U out" don't comprehend. YOU IGNORE THE WORDS "OTHERWISE COMPARABLE".

Here's the thing. Liberty and F$U are not "otherwise comparable". F$U and Alabama are not "otherwise comparable".

If any of the nitwit brigade had listened to Boo carrying water for this outrageous decision, you would have heard that MICHIGAN, WASHINGTON, AND TEXAS were considered in a different group. Those were the teams that were "definitely in", and then the CFP Committee had to discuss "F$U vs. Alabama". And THAT is where the flaw is.

Because the "otherwise comparable" teams are undefeated conference champions, such as Michigan, Washington, and FSU.

Then AND ONLY THEN is it time to take the other criteria into account for determining who gets the fourth spot between Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio Taint.

CLEARLY, Texas and Alabama outrank Georgia and Ohio Taint BY WINNING THE CONFERENCE. OK, then the next logical differentiator between Texas and Alabama is head-to-head. Texas. End of discussion.

That's what the "Committee got it right" crowd is missing. That the "criteria" are not stated as absolutes. The "criteria" are supposed to be used to distinguish between "otherwise comparable" teams.

And there can be TIERS of "otherwise comparable" teams. There simply NOT SEVEN "otherwise comparable teams". There are THREE "otherwise comparable teams", and then there are FOUR "otherwise comparable teams".

And NONE of the "Committee got it right" morons can point out where it says "oh, but we should toss everything out if we THINK a team will lose by a wide margin". That is NOT for them to decide.

Here it is, deniers. "Otherwise comparable teams". THAT is when you start to use the distinguishing process. And we had TWO groups of teams, the undefeated Power 5 conference champions (three teams) and the one-loss teams. It's just that simple. AND it's what the policy says. And it's what the committee ACTUALLY DID, by determining "three teams that were definitely in" and then having a differentiation process for the 4th slot. THAT IS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Just...you know...with the wrong team in the Top 3.

Breaking down FSU's snub and the other teams that got the short end of the stick from the CFP committee.

Also:

if FSU v Georgia will be a good matchup, then why wouldn’t FSU v Michigan be a good matchup since Georgia was ranked higher than Michigan 3 days ago.

If Alabama was about the eye test, why did the eye test have them ranked 8th ahead of the weekend..
 
**** the ACC. They don't have our back unless they're stabbing it. We shouldn't have theirs.
How did Radakovic vote in the committee?
 
You know who always went nuclear?

I don't think FSU is a top 4 team but they were an undefeated conference championship. The ACC needs to show they are not just a Carolina conference or they risk the conference falling apart. The ACC must go full nuclear and in the public or else the ACC is done as a conference. This is going to be fun to watch.

It's not the first time the committee has picked potential over the actual result that occurred on the field.

However, I'm having a hard time disagreeing with the decision. I can see why and where it comes from.

My Top 4 was Michigan, Washington, FSU and then Bama. I didn't expect them to drop FSU, I expected Bama to be more of a toss-up.

FSU is gonna get trounced by an angry Georgia team and we'll stop having this conversation.

yall keep saying this.....

NO ONE GIVES A SH*T ABOUT THAT GAME AT ALL. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CFP.

im trying to understand why Ohio state wasnt ranked above fsu or even uga?. What was the issue there especially with no qb and all right?.

Yeah, the two schools who might have some justifiable "1-loss" outrage are Georgia and Ohio Taint.

Georgia had a 29-game winning streak cut short by a "neutral site" (Atlanta) THREE-POINT LOSS that (surprise, surprise) also included some questionable officiating.

Ohio Taint lost ON THE ROAD by 6 points to the #1 team in the rankings.

But...both of those teams lost MORE RECENTLY.

Compare the QUALITY (not timing) of the losses of the teams that made it.

Alabama lost AT HOME by 10 points to another 1-loss team.

And Texas had a "neutral site" (Dallas) FOUR-POINT LOSS to Oklahoma (the "worst" team to beat one of these 1-loss teams).

So while the UGa/Taint losses are MORE RECENT than the Alabama/Texas losses, the UGa/Taint losses are BETTER than than the Alabama/Texas losses.

And that means...for Team #4...there should really be a ranking system for Alabama/Texas/UGa/Taint.

And it seems that Step 1 would be Alabama/Texas > UGa/Taint by virtue of "winning the conference championship".

Fianlly, it seems that Step 2 would be Texas > Alabama by virtue of "head to head".

Thus, Texas becomes Team #4 behind Michigan, Washington, and F$U.

The reason why Taint is Team #7 is because they did not even play in the conference championship game.

Which sucks for them, since they seemingly had the BEST loss of any 1-loss team (a 6-point road loss to the #1 team).

This is what i never got.

Did they have cataract issues b4 or something?.

Like some one said they shouldve just went with who has the highest recruiting ranking from the start of the year and add Bama sight unseen or UGA if they want automatically either way
 
Let’s face it there really is no system. After sponsors and the tv networks throw in their financial opinions I’m sure they carry weight.
 
Conference already moving to tier 2 gonna be the old big east once the dust settles. 2 mega conferences gonna run the show with the TV contracts

can't wait for this argument to shift from it's original top 2, to that isn't working, we should do 4 to settle it, to we are going to move to 12.....

Next year, we will be *****ing about 13 not getting a shot.

100% at some point "the right 12" didn't get selected will be brought up.

Get to NFL conferences and divisions and be done with it.
