As do I. They'll separate the H2H and look at the entire season of work.

You can't though, they played head to head on the same field. I mean I'd rather see Alabama but if you put two teams head to head and one beats the other and it means nothing, then the entire sport is pointless. The end. If Alabama gets in it has to be at Florida State or Michigan's expense.

It’s a circular argument, but I think that’s how the Committee justifies Bama over Texas.

I’d put Texas in personally.

It doesn't have to mean nothing. It's just not the sole determining factor. Nor should it be if the committee's job is to actually pick who they think the four best teams are.

Exactly. If Alabama gets in over Texas the whole system is a joke

A quality win > A quality loss.

Especially when that quality win was Texas going into Tuscaloosa and decisively beating Alabama.

Then why have a playoff? Why pit the teams head-to-head in a single game that determines the champion if a single game between two teams on the same field isn't the sole determining factor? The argument defeats the entire point of a playoff in the first place. Just have the committee name the best team, they're the champion, game over.

Or Alabama beating Georgia in a conference championship game, a school that had completely dominated the sport for two years?

So the better team is the one who lost by double digits to the other team? That's ridiculous. If that's true than as pointed out the games DO NOT MATTER.

Maybe? They played 3 months ago. They aren't getting judged solely on that game.

Michigan's expense? They are the clear #1 team now. And no way Washington is not #2. Those are locks at this point.

Edit: I am of course assuming a win today, if Michigan loses they are out and deservedly so.

Tuck Fexas! 4321. This is the way I see it,

If Mich & FSU wins, they will put Alabama in.

If FSU loses, they will put GA. In too.

Lets go Iowa, pull a upset.

Except **** Texas in the ass. They might get screwed by the champ of the conference they quit the B12 to get into. No sympathy for that shit program. They ****up every conference they are in. **** them and **** the sooners too. Good riddance.

Alabama needed a miracle to beat a team last week that was curb stomped by New Mexico State.

Don’t just look at today to evaluate their profile.

Look at them losing by double digits at home vs Texas.

Look at them struggle to beat a terrible USF team.

This should be easy but the committee will mess it up.

Sorry FSU - your quarterback is hurt. Moving along.

Sorry Georgia, you've been great for several years but you've been a little vulnerable at times this year, you aren't a conference champ and you have the same record as several other teams. You essentially have the same resume as Ohio State. Better luck next year.


Michigan, Washington, Alabama and Texas. It just seems too easy for them to **** it up.

You aren't going to have no SEC teams in. You aren't going to put UGA in over 'Bama. And if you put Bama in, you can't keep Texas out for Georgia when Texas beat 'Bama on the road.

This is just a no brainer to me. But we shall see...

Exactly. People just can't wrap their head around the fact the SEC isn't that great this year.

Dem dawgs broke mah heart now I gotta break your ribs woman!!!!

Bama wives are just now recovering from the ass-whoopin they took when Texas beat the tide.

If FSU wins and wins solidly today, it will be next to impossible to ignore them.

I'd manage...

Agreed (unfortunately).

They would be 2-0 without Jordan Travis… wins at Florida and vs a top 15 Louisville team.

Ha! To be honest I had no clue they were undefeated until a few weeks back. I'd ignored them and their entire shit conference.

Something to watch is if Florida State gets a lead, do they try to run it up on Louisville just to try and impress the committee.

praying for something special

Iowa and FSU winning is peak chaos.

They will and it is

Hoping Harbaugh's head explodes, mostly because he is a cheating prick asshole.

Corn vs Edmund Fitzgerald.

Can't root for the cheatin' school of tom brady here, so I guess corn east needs to manage 3 defensive TDs to win this.

There is precedent for FSU… Ohio State in the first CFP lost their starting QB to injury in their regular season finale vs Michigan.

They crushed Wisconsin 59-0 with their back-up QB in the Big 10 Championship Game and were selected to the CFP.

Best four teams.

There is no way you can keep an undefeated FSU team out if they are undefeated. You can't punish them solely based on the fact that there starting QB got injured.

Wow! Iowa ran a reverse.

That’s never happened.

3 and out. big surprise

I fully expect Bronco Nagurski to show up for Iowa.

Gator arms there

Iowa’s D will spend 45 game minutes on the field.

I think they did vs penn state


edit 14:33 possession for iowa

45:27 for the Iowa D

That's game in Indianapolis

3-0 feels insurmountable

Gotta hold em to a FG

Welp that’s gonna be ballgame. About to be an insurmountable double digit lead here

Herm Edwards loves the Iowa offense.

Iowa offense buzzword

The Iowa Insurmountables

This seems nice!

I think Iowa really brought their offense into the 1960’s with two reverses on their 1st two possessions

Iowa defense has better chance of scoring than their offense. They should punt on 1st down.

Iowa fans when somebody tries to talk to them about their offense:

Michigan stole Iowa's signs, but they decided not to tell their defense what was coming since it was too boring and thought it might put the players to sleep.

LMAO well, figures.

Iowa offense based old electronic football game . . . except even less exciting.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8633357119.jpg

I don't agree.

It's a selection committee and this team wouldn't have been undefeated without their QB. You're not punishing them any more than you would be punishing a mid-major team for being undefeated with a weak schedule.

Undefeated or not, the latter isn't one of the top 4 teams in the country.

Neither is FSU without their QB.

Man I was hoping Florida State could put up something and their defense is playing great but even if they win I think they're out.

This FSU team has no business being in the playoff.

I'm not sure Georgia is out either.

other than being undefeated.

So is Liberty.

So is South Dakota State.

Maybe we should put 'em all in the playoff if W/L record is all that matters.

The same people will be bitching when FSU makes it and gets blown the **** out.

So UGA deserves to still be in the playoffs? Hard to argue that they are not one of the four best teams in the country.

Iowa set up on the UM 40.

Brutal drop by Florida State

God dammit. Looked like a fumble.

Florida State is not one of the four best teams in college football.

This is obvious, isn't it?

Well that was a good bounce on that punt

Tory Taylor starting to take over this game for Iowa. LMAO

Yes, even the people arguing for them won't argue otherwise, hence UnDeFeAtEd.

I get the sense that it's going to be Michigan Washington Alabama and Georgia in the playoff

Georgia or Texas. Those are the five best teams in the country.

I don't think it has anything to do with whether a team "deserves" it because what does that even mean? If they're a top 4 team in the country, they should be there.

Two pretty terrible games.

Although I admire the Iowa defense.

Deserving it means rewarding a team that finished undefeated and winning their P5 championship. Now if we argue the best four teams in the country, there is no way that one can argue that UGA isn't one of them. So it's either the four most deserving or the four best.

I think the idea is for them to pick the four best.

I think Texas and instead of Georgia makes it more exciting.

So UGA, Michigan, then a "Pick 2" from a list of Washington, Bama, and Texas?

Then why play the game?

Everyone thought Bama was better than Texas. Then the game was played.

Booger got it right in his halftime speech.

Four best based on what criteria?

Eye test?

On the field results?

Sure. Put them in.

The FCS has every champion compete in the playoffs. Somehow no one's eyes melt when it happens.
