Thanks! Helps to have the rest of the story! Just on the surface, it sounded like "Uh-Oh!"

But Alabama and Nebraska got in when it was only two teams and OSU got in with four teams.
Oregon could beat anyone in the country, including Georgia.
They were part of quite possibly the best game all season (UW loss) and don't **** around.
Simply put it would suck to play them and be a coach trying to prepare for it.
This is where I am at.
A lot of people say increasing the size is stupid because only a couple teams can actually win it.
But the increase helps when there is a team that has a weird loss or fluke loss, and at 4 teams they get left out because of it. Even though they could easily be in and win it, if not for a strange loss, that maybe someone was hurt, half the team had food poisoning or some other weird thing.
With 12 that team has a better shot at getting in and should have the chance. With only 4 we can see this year its possible even someone that is undefeated could be left out.
Two backup QBs have won the title. Cardale Jones and Tua, so yes Florida State isn’t the same team without their QB. But we’ve seen it before and I don’t think they would win it even without the QB injury.
If they win this weekend at least they will have shown with the backup they can win games as their roster is still very good. A road game against your rival and a neutral win over a good Louisville team is at least showing they can still play.
Problem is that FSU isn’t bama and OSU with stable of elite QB’s waiting to be promoted. They are FSU where just two years ago making a bowl game was a big accomplishment. Rivalry games are one thing but this Florida team is hot trash
Disagree. Auburn, Mizzou, GT all were within one score. Everyone was saying last year that nobody could hang with Georgia and tOSU dominated them most of their game and only lost by missing a FG.
Eliminate the committee. Top 4 conference champions, top computer rated G5, and 7 at large based on BCS computer ratings alone.
The committee is corrupt. College football is a media circus.

It is, but I think you're puffing Georgia up a little much. Auburn is pretty mediocre. Not sure if you've watched Oregon, but IMO they've been impressive as hell. We'll see.
Not saying they are the same but there’s precedent of backups winning the title, so the CFP committee would have some real explaining to do aside from the whole leaving an unbeaten P5 team out for a one-loss team. Their reasoning wouldn’t hold much water. And Florida State was going to get killed by Georgia or Michigan with or without their QB.
And disagree on the rivalry thing. A road rivalry game you toss everything out. I mean we all just watched Bama escape with a miracle at Auburn, who is God awful and got the brakes beat off them by New Mexico State just the other week.
Georgia Tech played Georgia better than almost anyone this year.
IMO, Oregon has a great shot to beat Washington. Based on games I've watched, the Ducks are the best 1 loss team. And at this stage in the season, probably better than FSU due to Travis injury.
They are 10 point favorites so I hope they have a good shot lol
I’ll happily wager a donation to the we will collective taking Georgia to win it all.
Yeah sorry I don't wager message board posters, lol. I'm not saying Georgia won't win it all, obviously they're the favorite. I just think it's kind of nonsensical to dismiss the idea that anyone else could beat them. They were just as big a favorite last year and had to be gifted a missed FG to win in the semis.
Valid. OSU was custom built to beat Georgia or bama though, Michigan would have gotten rocked and TCU did get rocked. None of the teams this year have that elite quality on offense but Oregon would have the best shot
Yeah agree on Michigan, just not a good style matchup for them, but I think Oregon could give Georgia fits.
