Playoff Chaos Scenario Unlocked: Who ya got and does the committee have the guts to make the right call?

UM, UW, Texas, Bama. I would be absolutely floored if it's anything else.

Doesn't mean it is not a fucking shame that FSU doesn't make it. Why do we even play the games?

The expansion to 12 teams can't come soon enough. A deserving team is going to be left out this year.

The correct thing to do:

1. Mich vs 4. FSU

2. UDub vs 3. Tejas

They will no doubt be worried that Pete Fartbomb will go on a killing spree but I'm pretty sure my 12 year niece would fuck that dude up.  Don't be pussys you committee hacks.

To me you can't go on subjective nonsense.  Washington has the best strength of record, they're the #1 seed.  Michigan #2, FSU #3.  Texas beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa, so they get in over Alabama.

Rose Bowl: Washington and Texas

Sugar Bowl: Michigan and FSU

And sure I'm biased and want us to get the Noles because I think they are the worst team of the five.  But they haven't lost.  (Also that defense is really really good)

Michigan

Washington

Alabama

Texas

The right call is

• Washington #2
• Michigan #1
• FSU #3
• Texas #4 (they beat Alabama #8, who also beat Georgia #1)

Sorry SEC, thanks for playing.

Take your tantrum out on Texas and Oklahoma on the field next year

The SEC was meh this year. They weren’t good in non con. Alabama just won a game on 4th and 31. This year feels easy if not for the injury to Travis and sec bs. It’s the 3 undefeated and Texas because they won the damn game

I swear if the SEC bias puts Bama in over Texas, I'm going to be pissed.  Double digits victory in Tuscaloosa.  Scoreboard.

Should be

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. FSU
4. Texas

I am skeptical the committee is going to lock the SEC out. I think there's a non-zero chance they poopoo both FSU and Texas and give us this. Hopefully I'm extremely wrong

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Alabama
4. Georgia

It’s pretty simple

1) Michigan

2) Washington 

3) FSU

4) Texas

You could make an argument to have at 3 because of the strength of the Bama win.

Who knows though. The sec bias is real

The criteria says “best” 4 teams. I don’t think anyone seriously thinks FSU is better than Bama, Texas, or Georgia.

the field will be Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Bama.

I really hope Washington jumps us and we play Texas

What do you do when the people in charge of the rules break the rules? Lot of that going on in order to put narratives forward in place of endeavor. They suck as humans and always will.

My bet is…

UM

WA

FSU

TX  

goes against what I said earlier, but no effing way you can leave a 13-0 fsu out. Still hard to imagine SEC not being in there though. I’ll stick with the above but the below would not surprise me…

UM

WA

TX

AL

It'll go to Bama.

No reason to play the games if one of the darlings doesn't get it, they change all the rules (ie CHEAT) to get them in.

They did it for OSU, too.

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Georgia or Texas
4. FSU

The CFP committee is definitely gonna fuck over FSU. It will be a travesty. 

Nick Saban says Alabama is not the same team that lost to Texas.

Are they the same team that needed a 30 yard hail mary to beat Auburn last week?

Y’all are crazy if you think FSU makes it. The committee made the controversial rules about player availability and “best” teams for this exact situation. 

The committee does not have the guts, but it absolutely should be:

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Florida State
4. Texas

We'd get the hardest semi-final opponent, but that's just how things ended up.

What's sad is that this is as easy as it gets. 3 undefeated conference Champs, 2 1-loss conference Champs. One of which beat the other. The only argument Alabama has is they are in the SEC. That isn't an argument. If Texas had beaten Washington instead, Washington would be out. Ditto Michigan and Florida State. It's an easy call. 

Woohoo!  First double post!  I’m no fan of free shoes U, but in the current format, they should be in, GA and TX out.  

Hmm… 2 conference champs have 1 loss, and FSU is undefeated.  They should be in.  I know It’s the last year for this format, but F the SEC.  

UM is going to be the #1 seed, yet draw Bama as the #4 seed in the semis. Not fair. #1 seed should have the easiest semi-final game. That's why you want the #1 seed in the first place.

My predicted CFP seeding:

#1 Michigan

#2 Washington

#3 Texas

#4 Alabama

#GoBlue

Eh. It's not about conspiracy. If they want the four "best" teams, yeah, it's not FSU, as I think both Alabama and Texas are better

But in terms of "deserving," I think it should be FSU. All you can do is win the games on your schedule — especially if you're in a Power 5 conference with a conference championship game. What more could they do?

It should be FSU, and I think it will be FSU, if only so the Committee can avoid the inevitable controversy that will arise if they choose Alabama over them. But ... they say they're picking the "best" four teams, and will take injuries into account, so ... who knows?

Last year they put two Big Ten teams in, despite Alabama whining they deserved it. There's no conspiracy. Sometimes people of good will have differing opinions. C'est la vie.

I don't see a good case for anything other than Michigan, Washington, Florida State, Texas.

It's unfortunate that scheduling a good non-conference opponent screwed Alabama, but that's the way it worked out.

Can't rank Alabama ahead of Texas. Can't rank Georgia ahead of Alabama.

There's a small chance Florida State gets bumped by Alabama, but I think the committee would have bumped them down last week if they were considering it.

Is the SEC the best conference this year? Probably. Are there problems with a four-team playoff? Absolutely. But that's where we are.

We're going to draw Bama.

Fucking Auburn.

Texas should be in over Bama. i doubt SEC will lobby hard as Texas is SEC bound next season.
