You’ve got $1k to bet Florida State vs Alabama head to head on a neutral field. Who are you taking?
FSU, their defense is lethal. Their offense takes a hit losing Travis, but 'Bama has to score to win. And I'm serious. Not sold on SEC this year.
The ACC went 6-4 against the SEC and Florda State beat Florida with their 3rd string, true freshman quarterback lol.
Florida also had a 1st career start freshman that game. FSU barely beat BC. FSU didn’t draw Tyler Van Dyke either, they got a freshman qb in his 1st career start, another 1 possession game. Every team had its struggles.
Alabama barely beat a .500 AAC team, the 9th rated conference in FBS.
Tyler Van Dyke was benched. So that doesn't matter.
Van Dyke was injured and held out. Their strength of schedule was 55th. Acc was weak, playing Louisville and struggling with them didn’t help them.
Bama beat #1 for the play in essentially.

James Madison gets Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl.
I was hoping for Frisco for them. They’re familiar with it.

That loss to GS in 2019 will haunt forever. The NY6 Bowl was there for the taking. Liberty though, man.

I'm sure I am the least American tackle football fan on this board so go ahead and tell me to drink bleach for this question but.... instead of letting all the 6 win teams into the bowl games why not do an NIT type tournament with the #13 and up to whatever teams in those bowl games?

Florida State was robbed.
Losing their starting QB and their SoS relative to Alabama's probably did them in.
It shouldn’t have and that’s the issue. No P5 conference champ has ever not earned a trip to the CFP. I understand the point about losing your QB but what about the rest of the team?

I know you meant to say it, but no “undefeated” P5…….
And the whole “losing your QB” is BS. They beat a quality opponent with their 3rd String QB. That should be even more reason to put them in.
Tis a circus controlled by puppeteers.

Sorry but FSU would have been curb stomped by Michigan or Washington had the Seminoles made it. Without their original QB only exacerbates the issue.

The committee just saved everyone a lot of money. They completely eliminated the need to play regular season games. They can just declare the four playoff teams and play the games in September. The weather will be better and people can stop wasting twelve weeks on football.

What might or might not happen to them is completely irrelevant. The committee can't vote an undefeated P5 regular season champion number 4 then when they win their CCG you can't drop them. Every year in basketball a really good team gets knocked out in the elite 8 and sometimes the team with the best record doesn't end up winning it.
