My team dropped from number 1 where we had been all season, to number 6 by losing to a one loss, not so good alabama team. That hurts like sin. But it is nowhere close to what they did to you.

[@ff55tfc]

[@fredericklockard3854]

I’m no FSU fan so I come at this with no bias or agenda. FSU got screwed because there’s no way on earth there will ever be a playoff without an SEC team. Never. ESPN will not let it happen. Herbsreit et al started laying the groundwork for this weeks ago when they were pimping for Bama and Georgia being in. Imagine if the Bama QB got hurt, they barely won their last games, their offense sputtered, and they got left out. The narrative would be completely different today. They’d be talking about Bamas resiliency and ability to come together and win and they deserved to be in.

[@MichaelJenkins-gk2kg]

Fact.You're absolutely right

[@treyspencer3101]

Yep. Husker fan, no dog in the fight, don't care about FSU, FSU got screwed. This argument about "who's the best team" is completely ridiculous. Sometimes the "best team" loses. It happens all the time in sports. You can be the best team all season and lose when it counts and get left out. Look what LITERALLY just happened to Georgia. They were the best team all year and they lost when they couldn't afford to lose. That's what happens in sports. You don't know who's going to win before it happens, if you did, everybody would be rich from sports betting.

Another huge question is why they didn’t take Michigan’s cheating scandal into account. They admitted they cheated and agreed to his three game suspension. That means they knew they cheated. And apparently their offensive stats went way down after the scandal came to light. How come that was never taken into account by the committee? Should’ve left those cheaters out and put FSU in.

[@PonderingOne]

NCAA investigation into Michigan is ongoing. Harbaugh denies any knowledge of illegal sign stealing and no evidence has yet been presented that contradicts that. B1G suspended Harbaugh for violating their Sportsmanship Policy. Not an admission to anything. Without any final conclusion, it would be premature to punish Michigan yet.

[@CharlesB.82]

Now, I feel bad for the Florida State squad for this. However, Sign stealers are legal in our sport. Since all the teams we played still had theirs and we were short other staff members as well, It is plausible we had to work alil harder in those games due to the self inflected situation. Also, Due to the high standards at Michigan they went ahead and let it play out instead of turning it into a bigger shit show.🤷 Go Blue!

[@kylegross1081]

Saying this as a Miami fan, this is the most ridiculous decision the committee has ever made. Their reasoning for putting Bama in is because they were “unequivocally better” and they are trying to get the “4 best teams”. So Bama and Georgia battle to a 27-24 game. Committee determines Alabama is definitely better than FSU, but Georgia is definitely not and ranks them at #6 with FSU #5. Incredibly interesting take. I’d bet had Bama not converted that Hail Mary against Auburn but still beat Georgia in the SEC championship, the committee would have ranked Georgia at #4 over FSU just to ensure the SEC got in at all costs.

[@markmoore4141]

FSU fan. I totally agree. There was no way an SEC team would be left out. The ONLY way FSU was in was a Georgia win. Since Alabama won, they had to put Texas in bc they beat them at home.

[@ChappyQuiddick-wz6ci]

Perhaps but unfortunately that's not Reality

[@inojoking]

Exactly! They knew the plans all along! I was telling my dad this yesterday. They would have ignored the lost and did a repeat of TCU losing last year in the title game. The shit is a sham and the 12 team playoff is about to make it worst! They are going to allow the SEC and Big10 to basically only play games in conference so the only comparison is internal. Then the top 10-11 teams will be preset every year as the top SEC teams mixed with Michigan, ohio state, penn state, USC, Washington Oregon. There will be 1 or 2 wildcards for a 2-3 lost SEC team vs an ACC champ or Big 12 champ. They will guarantee that the SEC and Big10 champs and runner ups get a bye week to help them. No one will care as long as they get in the playoff about the 4 teams anymore. But you can see how that will be an advantage and ensure they can continue to rig this.

@@td454 I remember on the air (ACCNation last night) he pointed out that the key reason for the exclusion was due to Travis's injury but if that is the case, then the rankings are based on QB availability which heavily influences the rankings before the team which I believe should be the key factor in these rankings. I think if the committee believes FSU cannot qualify, show all the votes to prove this was already determined before hand which I think raises a good point, why play the conference title game if the decision has already been decided and have the decency to tell that to each FSU personnel and especially the coach.

[@JimBobBobJimmerson]

​@@stevenyarnell9317Didn't they lose to Pitt and Kentucky? lol Alright, if you think FSU this year is better than Alabama, swap both teams' opponents from the last game and tell me how it plays out. Does Alabama, who dogwalked Kentucky, lose to the Louisville team Kentucky AND Pitt beat? Highly doubtful. Does FSU go into Atlanta and beat unbeaten Georgia with a QB who had 55 yards and not a single touchdown against Louisville? Hell no. If you wanna adopt an "It doesn't matter FSU had less quality wins, they deserve it more because they didn't lose" stance, I'd argue Liberty has a stronger claim to the spot than FSU because they have all the same upsides as FSU (undefeated conference champions) but didn't struggle nearly as much against their opponents AND still have all their key starters.

Great broadcast, appreciate the honesty, appreciate keeping it real. There were big bets at the casinos.

Why have a playoff if they are gonna make their own decisions on who should be eligible in spite of their records for the season. I question if they'll conclude they may as well end the playoffs and declare who they think will win the National Championship as the recipient without playing for who's the better team. Then project and declare the conference champions as well irrespective of their records. The immorality, lack of ethical discipline, and corruption from the NCAA should cause the people to demand the meetings on the governing process for championship playoff teams, and on the corruption on referees making intentional false calls, and intentionally not making legitimate calls and holding them accountable by sufficient suspensions or firing should be televised for the world to see. I believe it would help in reinforcing morality,ethics, and minimize or eliminate the opportunity for corruption. It is satanic the many decisions they've made this year because who's gonna hold them accountable? Nobody!

I don't think that it is SEC bias, it's Alabama bias. Several years ago Bama won a championship by beating LSU 21-0. They picked Bama over Okie State because Saban pitched a fit. LSU beat Bama that year on Bama's home field. LSU won the SEC that year and if Okie State didn't lose their last game, Okie State would have been in the NC game. Saban had a fit and started complaining to the NCAA selection committee. Bama was let in and OKIE State was left out. I honestly thought that FSU would definitely be in the playoffs but I was wrong. I'm not surprised that Bama was picked and I won't be surprised if they win it all. Do you remember when Auburn was undefeated and didn't go anywhere? We just need to sit back and watch Bama win it all every year. I'm not going to watch the games because the winner has already been decided. Saban isn't going anywhere in the coming years. The NCAA will always find a way to get Bama in. Bama will win it all this season. Saban and the NCAA will find a way to have Bama win it all.

2014...Preseason: Ohio State looked like they were a team destined for a spot in the first ever College Football Playoff at the FBS level. Then, before the season, OSU lost Braxton Miller, their starting QB. So, redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett had to play a vast majority of the season, and he played very well. Then, in the last game of the year, Barrett went down with a season ending injury, and the preseason third string QB, Cardale Jones led the Buckeyes to a Big Ten championship, an unlikely CFP berth, and eventually, a national championship in the inaugural CFP final. A preseason third string QB, who didn't become the starter until the Big Ten Championship Game. The CFP committee included the Buckeyes even though they had two QBs out with injuries. And then OSU won it all. That is called a precedent. An injury to a prime player didn't stop the committee in 2014 from putting the buckeyes into the playoffs.And that's why the committee has to try and convince people that Travis' injury wasn't the reason FSU dropped from 4th to 5th.

All i have to say to the alum/fans of other programs is, what are you going to do, when what happened to FSU happens to your program? So, be careful trolling FSU fans on the chat, because turnabout is fair play!

[@RiseandBrine]

Schedule a Bama/FSU impromptu game for 2 weeks from now. Winner gets in and everyone can stop crying. Roll Tide.

[@kenneth3558]

I always thought NFL was scripted for the money now we know college is as well.

[@kareemdaking5145]

Thanks for exposing the Hypocrisy.

[@will_steel3155]

I'm a Texas fan, and I was completely shocked that we got in.

[@timothybrooks1429]

The CFP committee should be sequestered for the last few weeks. No reading/viewing outside media/opinion.

[@justinevans2612]

Before the the selection show even started we had a 97% chance of making the playoff. Also, we were 4 in the AP poll Sunday morning.

[@andrewbruce949]

3 in coaches poll

[@qwerty112311]

5 in the one that matters. FSU would get spanked by whatever team they played.

[@rubyjeancuyler4051]

LSU fan here. The Bama bias is clear and always has been. FSU got robbed and hopefully they take it on on UGA.

[@jeremyallen7212]

And if UGA beat the breaks off of FSU then what!?

[@jamesgarrett2129]

fsu take it out on Georgia???? 😮😊😅😅😂😂😂 This committee did was spare fsu the humiliation of a severe arse whipping in front of the entire world......well that is if they don't play Georgia.

[@wompsauce]

@@jamesgarrett2129 yeah buddy, I'm sure FSU's defense would have had SUCHHHHH a hard time stopping a michigan offense that put up TWENTY SIX on Iowa lmaooooooo

[@seekingthetruth2748]

​@@jeremyallen7212They won't be the same teams as the nfl eligible players are not playing in a meaningless game per the committee conference words. So the teams will be totaly different.

[@jamesgarrett2129]

@@wompsauce I guess you think ole tator could lead a winning offense against a top team??? LOL. The committee saved fswho national humiliation, sadly.

[@AntGat1280]

Speaking straight FACTS!!!!!!!

[@shauncurl6198]

what gets me is Alabama barely beat auburn, a 6-6 team that lost to new mexico state, never talked about. Washington barely beat a 2 win arizona state and only scored 15 on them. Washington struggled against a 2 win Stanford, never mentioned. Michigan had almost the exact yardage and points as fsu, but they had their starting qb against Iowa, never talked about. fsu defense held the number 11 team with a top 20 offense to 2 field goals and under 200 yards

[@PoliticallyIncorrect90]

You are spot on. If Iowa could've brought some sort of offense with them, even ordinary like an average team, that game would've been different. Michigan has been unimpressive lately.

[@TPizzle96]

*who got beat by Kentucky

[@shauncurl6198]

who got beat, period. it used to matter

[@seekingthetruth2748]

Games won on the field used to matter. This decision says the games played before conference games don't matter anymore. Only who you beat in conference and there previous seasons win.

[@seekingthetruth2748]

​@@TPizzle96and did Kentucky play. No so why bring it up. One team can have a bad week and lose to Kentucky and then go to the next week and win. So it doesn't matter this kentucky beat them so by proxy kentucky would be better

[@88jaspersimmons]

"The Noles refused to die so ESPN killed them themselves" This. Couldn't have said it befter myself. 👏

[@gaijinfishing]

I've been telling people that JT's injury was just an excuse. I've blocked all ESPN social media. I'll stream all games. I'll never let my viewing count in their ratings ever again. They are fucking dead to me.

[@raygrant9768]

I am a Iowa fan & this is BS because i now no they will do this to any team

[@ScottR76]

You just gained a new subscriber. Every point you made was right on. Now what needs to be done about this? Hit the NCAA, CFP, and the ACC where it hurts, the wallet. Two different ways this can be done. Fans and boosters need to be upset, put pressure on the the FSU AD to actually do something besides a letter on social media. Pressure the ACC to take a stand, to examine what happened in that room on Saturday night. More than an apology needs to happen. These actions will show the athletes and potential recruits that FSU cares about them and will stand up for them. The second way that we can hurt their income, don't play. Everyone shows up to the orange bowl, practice all week, athletes get their gear, game starts, after the first snap, politely decline to continue the game. Walk off the field. The ACC, NCAA, and CFP are forced to do something. 3 hours of dead air time and some pissed off sponsors will hit their wallets.

[@OnlyNolesknow]

Exactly hit their wallets!

[@Chrisfromftmyers]

yes, this is exactly what needs to happen. Hell, even UGA players would be happy as they wouldn't miss their chance for risk of injury especially for those who are draft eligible. Definitely need to start some type of petition. @@OnlyNolesknow

[@johnnywebb2351]

Agreed

[@naeselooto4352]

For real

[@naeselooto4352]

Uga should bow out also.

[@buckhorncortez]

Both the starting quarterback (Jordan Travis) AND the backup quarterback (Tate Rodemaker) are injured. That means FSU would be using a third-string quarterback. Plus their win against Louisville was mediocre at best (16-6). If FSU would have blown out Louisville (ranked #14) by 40 points - then you may have a legitimate complaint. FSU didn't do that. The final four teams, for this year, are correct.

[@kenkastro]

I don’t even care about ACC,SEC, etc. FSU should be in period. At the end of the day, a win is a win. Doesn’t matter who is hurt or healthy. The gatekeepers are trying to punch an agenda, and it shows that you can’t even achieve something if you earn it.

[@joewright219]

I know it is WWE. But I believe they broke contractual agreements.

[@steveswm7742]

We all saw that Michigan reaction to the news. They were shocked because they knew FSU got screwed.

[@steveludwig4200]

Not even close. They reacted to the FACT that Alabama is going to kick their asses........LOL

[@jasonbarnes2036]

They were shocked because now they have to "Cheat" steal signs from the Alabama football team now. They probably had someone at the FSU/Louisville game stealing signs! LOL

[@cangle37]

​@jasonbarnes2036 sign stealing is legal genius. So is advanced scouting for the playoffs.

[@bamabelle7847]

You know good and well that's not why they were shocked lol

[@harmieporter2058]

We going to Roll Tide bama ass right out Pasadena. GO BLUE

[@sc230mb]

Rumor in T town is that the players are going to walk off the field after the coin toss.
