CFB Playoffs Announcement

I feel so sorry for Travis and FSU.
With the current system someone good was going to be out of 4.
selfishly happy the Committee made the right decision with Texas

A lot runs through and piles up in Lubbock.

I hope everyone got to see Sark's interview on ESPN just now. It's easy to love a guy when he wins for you, but wow. We've got a special guy here now.

Pure class through and through! We are truly blessed that Sark is our man. When we were listening to Sark's interview, I told my wife that we should be forever grateful to CDC for hiring the right man for the job. I'm proud that he represents our Longhorns.
 
If it wasn’t going to a 12 team playoff next year, the committee decision would be the death blow to the Acc. No way Fsu or Clemson would stay, Miami as well if they could afford the buyout which they probably can’t. It still may as it seems likely that at least 8 spots in the playoff will be filled by sec and big 10.

Joey Gallaway made a point there. With Travis, FSU is average at best. As evidenced last night with 55 yds passing against Louisville.

Can't even imagine what it feels like to be a Georgia fan right now.

Been there.
Late season fluke loss to Texas Tech.
Even bigger fluke loss to Colorado in the conference championship game.
Win either of those and we'd have made the National Championship game those years.

It is a plus IF Sark can keep them out of the Quarter...

Remember the last season where we blew out TT at home and played in the Sugar bowl (1995), we played VT with the infamous Ron McKelvey story.

Rewatching Gundy's post game presser, and he kept saying Texas was "explosive," even more explosive than they appear on tape. He repeated that several times. And that is what struck me about watching most of the games this weekend--Texas has way more talent and depth in the skill positions than these other contenders.

Which is why Sark should have never taken his foot off the gas in the 2nd half.

The cool thing is there is zero discussion about whether Texas is deserving or not. I'm listening to ESPN and it's like a total given that we are one of the top four teams in America. They're obsessing over FSU getting bumped. They're not even saying an undefeated FSU should be higher than Texas.

Yes, which is why I wanted Bama to win in case FSU won.

In case anyone might have been wondering, Dukesteer is very, very, very, very, very happy. Wish the semi was here at Pasadena so I could just drive up the 5 to the 405 to the 605 to the 210, off at Colorado, but I’ll take New Orleans.

Overjoyed to see the Longhorns in the CFP - they earned it.
I feel the heartache for Florida State - they're the undefeated champ of a Power 5 conference. Yes, they experienced a major injury late in the season. Yet they sucked it up and found a way to win without their starting QB - maybe the wins were ugly, but they were nevertheless wins. Florida State can say this - " we had a schedule to play, we played it, and we won every game, even when we had to cope with a significant injury - what more could we have done?"
But the committee was charged with picking the four best teams to play in the CFP - and without their starting QB, Florida State is not one of the four best. Florida State would simply not be competitive with Michigan, Washington, Texas, or Alabama without the starting QB. Sucks for Florida State - but IMO the committee got it right.

The Texas-Bama NC game didn’t get delayed until Colt was healed. We’ve been screwed in 2008 and 2009. It happens.

FSU got screwed, there's no getting around that
Imagine if we went undefeated and won the conference, then got left out

College football has continued to embarrass themselves with “The Committee” process. It was a dumb idea and now they admit it and will make a change next year. What took so ling?

Go back and Google The Pirate’s satirical tirade about the stupidity of this process. It is one of his best ever, even without a “fat girlfriend” comment. One of you smart posters can post it. It is good entertainment,

Ok, now switch to ABC to watch the Texas women and another classy Texas coach take on UConn, Thanks to another poster who said I could get the game on YouTube TV, despite the ATT blackout. This is a cancer research game on ESPN, so make a donation to the Valvano fund or your local cancer service. Hook’em, everyone!
 
I just don't see why anyone here is saying FSU got screwed. That was one of the poorest performances last night that I have ever seen. Any of the top 4 would beat that very team by 3 TDs at least. Did you see how bad Louisville is and the game was in doubt until very late? Having their 2nd string QB certainly could not eleveate them to top 4 in the country RIGHT NOW. Time to move on...

And, this must all be fake because we were assured by someone else around here that Texas's ONLY chance was a Georgia win AND FSU loss.

There is a certain irony in watching some claim that 13-0 doesn't matter when some of us were mentioning the eyeball tests when Texas was 8-1, 9-1, 10-1. We got told wins were all that mattered...and FSU did just that- they won. Ugly, but won.

A body of work SHOULD count for something.

They suck NOW. They are NOT top 4. I usually agree with you but not here.
