Bama in over FSU

Recommended Posts

Haters?  Hardly.  It doesn’t surprise anyone that ESPN and the Committee have rigged and manipulated matters to favor the SEC yet again.   It’s been happening for 20 years.  If the roles had been reversed, they still would have taken Bama over FSU, but would just make the exact opposite argument they’re making now.  It happens every year — what “matters” in the decision changes from year to year depending on whatever favors the SEC team.  It’s been happening every year since the BCS selection and later the playoffs began.  

Not a shock, not hate — just reality.  If another team can get screwed to benefit the SEC, they will.

SEC has won the last 13 of 17 national titles how was it rigged? Easy to see Alabama was a top 4 team.

FSU would be a major underdog to anyone in the top 4. Missing key players and coaches is also weighed as part of the selection equation, just like head-to-head. Nobody wants to see FSU with their second or third string QB get hammered in the CFP especially when the idea is to get the best four teams in. Bama beat #1 UGA yesterday and left points on the board while FSU looked like shit (offensively) against a middle-of-the-road opponent (who just lost to Kentucky). FSU is not a 2014 Ohio State. 
 

Alabama currently looks better and has played a better schedule. Alabama’s win over UGA is better than anything FSU has done and beat LSU as well (FSU’s best win). FSU looked very good back in September but that was then, not now. Teams get better/worse throughout the year. The only reason there’s a debate is because FSU is unbeaten, otherwise Alabama is superior (as is Georgia). 
 

Committee got it right.

Oklahoma had 4 cracks to be in NC game - never got there.  TCU actually did - we know how that went.  Most lopsided NC game ever - Georgia might have scored 90 if they were motivated to do so

Yeah and if the SEC is so overrated this year, here’s Michigan’s and maybe Washington’s/Texas’ chance to prove it.

Bama having lost to them, especially at home, I think’s works in The Tide’s favor - at least in Saban’s favor

I think we’ll win if there’s a rematch. Now that Milroe has faced a defense like UGA with someone like Kirby Smart to throw everything at him, I feel we’ll continue to get better and probably win it all.

Unfortunately I called this... 

Georgia really dropped the fucking ball yesterday... 

The morally right thing to do is Put FSU in... 

They won out... 

But at the same time that QB situation sucks ass.... 

That aside the Committee deserves wtf is about to happen to them... 

You can't claim they're unbiased anymore for sure... 

They once put Alabama in with no Division title or conference title... 

And now you put in a 1 loss bama over an Undefeated FSU who through all struggle and strife managed to pull out an undefeated season with IMO a fair schedule... 

Yea they deserved to be burned at the stake because ultimately this is absolutely criminal... 

Fuck the Committee

So what?  Degenerate gamblers now rule the Committee based on speculation?  What a slap in the face to all the Noles players.

Bama has a LOSS.  The Committee just pretends it out of existence.  A joke as usual — the same joke we’ve been getting for 20+ years.

Alabama is better than FSU by virtually every measure. The goal of the playoff, as Kirby Smart said yesterday, is to put the four best teams in.

Bama is better than FSU in almost every way. The only advantage FSU has is that they’re undefeated. Bama beat UGA yesterday, FSU can’t top that. 
Bama is superior and the committee got it right. Get the fuck over it.

What is different about this Michigan team.  Wanted them to win both semifinal games they have been in and they were bad in both.  QB play some better, Bama not as good as Georgia 2 years ago - but not sure it closes the gap

I think they're better along the LOS then before, but as you mentioned, this Bama isn't Georgia of two years ago.  That's the biggest difference.

The better question to me is this,  what's different about Alabama between September and now?

I haven't seen anything other than their competition isn't Texas along the LOS. Georgia in the 2nd half made Alabama's offense look like they did in September against Texas.  Guess whose the only solid defense they faced since then? Georgia, last night. 

I'm not sold on Alabama's offense,  this isn't the Alabama teams of the last couple of years.

And if the roles were reversed, you and the Committee would all be saying that an undefeated Bama earned it on the field by going undefeated, that FSU has a loss, and that speculation and point spreads don’t matter.
