awful game. i thought Alabama was destined for a 8-4 type year, the dynasty had finally fallen and was hoping Golesh would get his 2nd win in a row against Saban. what an exciting outcome that would've been.This iowa game vs south Florida was so exciting …
It has nothing to do with being nice or hating the SEC. I wasn't impressed with the SEC this year. And FSU took care of business, including beating 2 SEC teams. Alabama got beat at home. Great teams don't lose at home. Bottom line, FSU did everything asked of them in order to get in. Bama did not.didn't last long. i'm sure you hear that often, though.
it's almost poetic how embarrassing this is for you. source
i love how you're already starting the excuses on why FSU isn't going to win. shame you have so little confidence in your opinions.
there's zero deflection from me. i'm confident Georgia, who didn't deserve to be in the playoff, is a better team than Florida State and willing to lay money down on that. you can't say the same.
that's the problem, i don't think people like you and @Bruce1981 believe that Florida State is good enough to win the playoff, let alone one of the semifinal games (though I think a healthy FSU would give Texas/Washington a run for their money). you're mainly concerned with having the most virtuous opinion and jumping on the "SEC BAD" bandwagon. function of being too "nebraska nice" is that you live in denial of the landscape of college football and get pissy when mommy NCAA doesn't give everyone a turn to be champion.
the context is important, and it was quite different the year Cincinnati made it. they had competed hard with Georgia the year before in the Peach Bowl, losing only by 3 points.
Please stop bad mouthing Alabama's best OOC win.This iowa game vs south Florida was so exciting …
Wait. You seriously look at previous years data to make a conclusion for the year you're in? Georgia may have been defending national champs this season but they didn't play like it. If FSU has their entire team they will play with them and cover.
i wasn't overly impressed with the SEC either. Tennessee predictably took a big step back, Ole Miss looked like a Pelini team (again), LSU looked like USC South. Georgia looked sleepy, but seemed to wake up and crush their ranked opponents.
yes of course. when the 2024 season starts for the Huskers, are you going to have completely wiped the 2023 season from your memory in assessing how you think they'll do? of course the previous year has an effect on public perception. it does yours as well. here's you making a case for Nebraska going after Will Howard based on what he did in 2022:
i could buy that a fully healthy Florida State would cover against Georgia. I think that'd be a great game, and its a shame that we won't get to see it.
And yet barely escaped a 6 win Auburn team a week before on a 4th and goal from the 31. Championship teams shouldn't be in that position in the first place.
The reason Cincinnati got in was due to the fact that the PAC 12 champions, the ACC champions, and the Big 12 champions had two or more losses. Alabama and Michigan got in because both of them were undefeated conference champions. Georgia got in as a 1 loss SEC team whose only loss was to Alabama in the SEC championship game. The only other 1 loss team was Notre Dame, whose loss was to undefeated Cincinnati.
Did florida st hit a miracle on 4th and goal from the 31?very cool. what happened the week after?
Alabama lost to Texas A&M and Michigan lost a great game to the Michigan State Kenneth Walkers. Cincinnati was the only undefeated team heading into the playoff that year.
You are correct, Michigan and Alabama had one loss. So it was a choice between the last remaining 1 loss team Notre Dame or undefeated Cincinnati. Cincinnati got the nod because of their head to head win vs Notre Dame.
Dude.. you’re so pathetic it’s borderline depressing. You’re an establishment guy that loves to fall inline. You don’t understand objectivity vs subjectivity and you know this as you’re not posting under your scope handle
great teams make great plays when they need them. did Auburn outgain Alabama in every metric?
To be honest, I think the playoff committee got it right that year. I don't think Notre Dame nor any of the two loss conference champions would have fared any better than Cincinnati.
Michigan vs Iowa in BIG championship
incapable of thinking for themselves.i could see Ohio State doing better because they had a ridiculous WR room, but you can't put a 2 loss team in.
This year it would be 2 loss Oklahoma crying that Liberty is getting in ahead of them.
I'm not acknowledging your stats in a win that didn't need a miracle. And you have yet to answer for Michigan's offense. Did you see Auburn push Bama around after NM ST pushed them around?great teams make great plays when they need them. did Auburn outgain Alabama in every metric?
I agree.. Alabama isn’t a great team..great teams make great plays when they need them. did Auburn outgain Alabama in every metric?
i know you didn't actually watch the Boston College/FSU game, but FSU needed a facemask penalty with 1:30 left when Boston College forced 4th down to get their win over a 6-6 team. This is the same Boston College team that lost to Northern Illinois and played tight with FCS teams.
Did you see Oklahoma State push Oklahoma after Oklahoma pushed Texas around? can you even fathom how hard Oklahoma State would've pushed Texas around?
I don't even consider it a miracle so much as Auburn is that bad. It takes a special level of ineptitude by players and coaches to allow that to happen. That wasn't a chuck it up miracle. That was a bad team getting no pressure and allowing a receiver to basically make an uncontested catch.
Watched part of that game. I wonder how many people making the "but the SEC" watched any of that game.
You have issues my man.
I was told by idiots (you) that Florida State was a top 4 team.
