Whiney State

[Duck Tape]

"The consequences of giving in to a narrative of the moment are destructive, far reaching, and permanent. Not just for Florida State, but college football as a whole."
"The argument of whether a team is the 'most deserving OR best' is a false equivalence. It renders the season up to yesterday irrelevant and significantly damages the legitimacy of the College Football Playoff. The 2023 Florida State Seminoles are the epitome of a total TEAM. To eliminate them from a chance to compete for a national championship is an unwarranted injustice that shows complete disregard and disrespect for their performance and accomplishments. It is unforgiveable."
"The fact that this team has continued to close out victories in dominant fashion facing our current quarterback situation should have ENHANCED our case to get a playoff berth EARNED on the field. Instead, the committee decided to elevate themselves and 'make history' today by departing from what makes this sport great by excluding an undefeated Power 5 conference champion for the first time since the advent of the BCS/CFP era that began 25 years ago. This ridiculous decision is a departure from the competitive expectations that have stood the test of time in college football."
"Wins matter. Losses matter. Those that compete in the arena know this. Those on the committee who also competed in the sport and should have known this have forgotten it. Today, they changed the way success is assessed in college football, from a tangible metric - winning on the field - to an intangible, subjective one. Evidently, predicting the future matters more."
"For many of us, today's decision by the committee has forever damaged the credibility of the institution that is the College Football Playoff. And, saddest of all, it was self-inflicted. They chose predictive competitiveness over proven performance; subjectivity over fact. They have become a committee of prognosticators. They have abandoned their responsibility by discarding their purpose – to evaluate performance on the field."
"Our players, coaches, and fans - as well as all those who love this sport - deserve better. The committee failed college football today."


What will they say when Georgia takes them down?

Just think if Clemson’s kicker could have had one of the FG’s he made at Sakkerliner, this wouldn’t even be an issue and the Tigers would have another win.

It will be hard to make judgements as there are likely to be numerous starters opt out because it's a meaningless bowl if you are destined for the league, especially in the upper portions of the draft.

Had they not struggled with 7-5 Miami and 5-7 FLA, nor had the 55th SOS, we wouldn't be having these conversations.

[Sportin' Woodies]

Correct. Auburn lost to New Mexico State by 3 touchdowns

[Rubberhead*]

Didn't we learn anything last year from the Horned Frogs and their "good record" getting into the CF playoffs?

Clearly the name should be Power 4 Conferences...

How so, they only needed one of the three. You must be in concussion protocol too.

[jwmetz]

How bad did uga roll over ga. Tech? 8 points and tech was up in that game. UGA ain’t what they were last year and they played in the weakest division of all college football.

[Featherduster]

And they would still be favored over every team in the country

Except Alabama evidently.

This thread had nothing to do with the Gamecocks, but yet you brought them up. Rent free.

Actually it was more of a statement on the kicker for Clemson but, you go ahead and think it's about the chickens.
