@JayhawkSlant I will be there but I have feeling the crowd will be very small. Sorry Coach but you can’t play sloppy losing football expect to draw well. It’s been very frustrating to watch.
@Genetics56 Flawed logic, you’re assuming FSU can finish in the top 4 of big or sec at higher rate than winning the acc. Just ask Nebraska how that works.
@RoyalsDaily_ I love baseball and the Royals. With that said, MLB sucks ass! If they want to stop tanking then have a salary cap and better revenue sharing. They may want to check out how the NFL does it and maybe gain some fans! Screw #MLB!
@EMAWCaleb Get rid of GT, WF, S, BC, Pitt and VT. Replace with Virginia, NC Duke and FSU then you’re talking. Sell Duke and NC on being in the best basketball conference ever.
Here’s the scenario I’m rooting for:
1 loss CFP champion
FSU beats Georgia
Noles finish #1 in AP and Coach’s Poll
Not because I care about the trophy, but because it does the most damage to the playoff and further delegitimizes it to the world.
Statement from Michael Alford, Vice President and Athletics Director, Florida State University
"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."
@KirkHerbstreit@KirkHerbstreit just put OSU Michigan Georgia and Bama in and call the CFP what it is figure skating! Results on the field should matter!
