Did undefeated Florida State get screwed out of the college football playoffs?

Yes

It looks like it. They picked one loss teams ALabama and Texas both won their conferences. I thought no body here was interested in CFB. I saw some posts back in late Sept/early Oct that was talking about CFB as an escape and the responses ranged from How can you think of that when we are a falling into Marxism, To some r****t comments that insulted college players of color being the s***es of college admins.(or something of the like)I don't recall the exact comments. I just saw most comments were that college football is a waste of money and is basically woke or something to that effect. I personally enjoy watching CFB especially the Non Power5 and lower divisions. I did watch the SEC championship and the Big12 game w/UT(Austin) and OKSt. along with FCS playoff round 2some good games like Idaho Vandals over S.Illinois Salukis in OT and Montana vs Delaware in a snowstorm.

The playoff and bowl system is designed to generate money not determine a champion.

The Playoffs I agree the only goal is profit. The bowl system is not purely based on profit there are social gains for host cities in addition to economic gains. We need entertainment in our lives and competitive collegiate sports provide this. It is also found in local high schools. They provide a sense of p***e in the athletes at all levlels.

You bet. Big time. They earned it on the field and not a closed off room with a dozen people deciding their fate. Their quarterback and star was injured and they still won two more games including against Louisville in their conference championship game. By winning against Louisville they went from 4th to 5th while Louisville by losing, went from 14th to 15th in the final rankings. These kids put everything they have into winning, accomplished that against the odds, and go down in the standings. Makes no sense. Obvious bias in the selecting committee. Because of losing their quarterback and star, they might have easily lost. But they earned the right on the field to go for it.

And so did Ohio State. They had one loss, less then a touchdown to the highest rated team. Last week it was number 6. How did it go down in the standings without playing and having lost only to the #1 team in the final listing. Passed over by Texas who lost to a #13 team with a 9-3 record. And Alabama who lost early in the season, to what was a #7 team last week. Ohio State should be the highest rated one loss team in the country.

My picks would be Michigan #1, Washington #2, Florida State #3, Ohio State #4,


1. Michigan (13-0)

2. Washington (13-0)

3. Texas (12-1)

4. Alabama (12-1)

5. Florida State (13-0)

6. Georgia (12-1)

7. Ohio State (11-1)

8. Oregon (11-2)

9. Missouri (10-2)

10. Penn State (10-2)

I don't think color is the issue but objections to steroid abuse, performance enhancing drugs, coddling of athletes while in college who come out of college while not being able to speak good English is a definite problem. This is especially true of the athletes who get worthless degrees like Black Studies, Gay Rights Degrees, Critical Race Theory Degrees, How to Properly Kneel and Object to the American F**g Degrees and the History of Non-Binary individuals and their Contributions to Bathroom Confusion Degrees.

I agree with your Top10 Logically Right

Thanks. When will they create a system based on their records. The pros manage to do that, with way down the line tie breakers. Florida State players worked their ass off and even with a third string quarterback, they beat a good team, with a full team effort. There was an expectation that all they had to do was win. They did. They didn't know they needed to kiss some ass along the way.

And I seem to be about the only one beating the drum for Ohio State. How do you go down in the standings without playing. They only lost by 6 points in an away game against their biggest rival and now the number one rated team, in their last game. With the defeat of Oregon, they should have moved up and arguably battled Georgia for that 4th spot right behind Florida State.

Why is it important to provide a sense of p***e in athletes within a school. The p***e should be bestowed on academics, not people who play games.

I totally agree with you LR. I am so tired of this CFP System and it will not be even better next year with 12 teams in the playoffs. Personally I am in favor of the football factories(NFL Farms system)leaving the NCAA and form their own organization. Then the teams that decide not to leave for what ever reason can strengthen the Group of 5( MidMajors) and have their own 12 or even 14 team play off. This lets ALL 5 Conference champions of the G5 in than just the current one with the best record. (IMO Opinion Liberty will be DESTROYED in the Bowl Game) Tulane or JMU would have made a better opponent vs Oregon. Hell Ohio ST would be a better game for the Ducks. Any other year this would be the Rose Bowl Match Up.
