The SEC’s chance to get a team in the playoff died last night with bama defeating UGA. Michigan, Texas, Washington, and FSU should be the teams competing for the championship. The regular season schedule has to mean something. If bama somehow manages to get in, then the whole selection process is a damn joke.

Agree---I wouldn't vote for FSU. No big wins and the ACC sux.

Auburn helped create this chaos by choking away a win over bama.

Do y’all just make stuff up? They have 3 top 25 wins including beating LSU worse than anyone else did and held them to their season low in points; besting what Bama did to them at home.

Send UGA to the Cotton Bowl to play Texas
And Bammer to Sugar Bowl to play Oklahoma

I just don't see how they can leave FSU out. I mean they did everything you are supposed to do: undefeated, 3 victories over top 25 teams, won their conference.

In short:

Bama “We should be in over FSU because their QB is hurt”

Florida Stae “We should be in the playoff over Bama as we are 13-0 ACC champs and Bama is 12-1”

Bama isn't one of the best four teams in the country, but they are one of the four luckiest teams in the country. If they get in that will have to the criteria the committee uses to justify it. Before last night, their best win is against #14 LSU, and they lost to #11 Texas. They struggled to win against unranked USF, Texas A&M, and Arkansas. It took a Hail Mary to beat unranked Auburn, who got beat badly the week before by lowly New Mexico State.

Agree UGA should not be on the list above just like OSU is not on the list.

I placed Georgia on there because they are politicking to get a spot. Will it fall on deaf ears almost certainly. However they have some credibility in conversation at least playing in a conference championship game against a worthy opponent. Ohio St didnt have to play the extra game which puts them with the smallest argument. Michigan and Florida States opponent in their conference championships we all know Georgia, Bama and Texas would have rocked Louisville and Iowa. So its shouldn't be as simplistic as they are undefeated conference champions.

1.) Michigan
2.) Washington
3.)Texas
4.)Florida St.

That's what I'm thinking anyway.In that order...

From the "About" on the CFB website (Overview)
"The selection committee ranks the teams based on the members’ evaluation of the teams’ performance on the field, using conference championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and comparison of results against common opponents to decide among teams that are comparable."

Texas beat Alabama, so Texas should be in the playoffs. FSU, eh, who knows.

Michigan, Washington, FSU and Texas. Committee will go for a fresh set of faces and the SEC is left out this season. That's the only grouping that can't really be argued. 3 undefeateds and a one loss texas that's a conference champ and beat bama at tuscaloosa which just beat the defending national champs. Who can argue with that?

Expansion will be nice, but I am rather enjoying seeing my Bama and Georgia neighbors sweat it out. 12 teams won't give us this level of excitement.

I think it will be just as exciting, but It will be different excitement . There will be a lot more important games later in the season that will have huge seeding implications. Bama would be getting a bye next season and UGA would be hosting a CFP game in Athens. They would probably be a 5 or 6 seed.

Yea I’m sure Texas, Michigan and FSU could never generate that much money 😂.

I don’t get this whole money take. All of the advertising has already been sold, TV contracts set in stone, tickets purchased, etc. What additional money is there to be made by having one team selected over another? NONE. These are conspiracy theories people like to make up when something doesn’t go their way, kind of like a fan base basing any loss on officiating bias - and they ALL do it, not just Vol fans.

If the money argument had an ounce of validity, Cincinnati wouldn’t have made the CFP two years ago.

FSU should win that argument any day, but this is shady cfb we are talking about.

I dunno. I think last year, the committee did the right thing with TCU, and a blind man could see they were overmatched. so it's something. But as long as a committee is involved in the decision, there will be controversy.. Unavoidable. NFL doesn't use committee's and the matchups have a natural progression. I can't wait for the field to be expanded.

TCU was overmatched by Georgia, as most teams would have been, but that’s it. People seem to forget they took down 13-0 #2 seed Michigan the week prior to make it to the finals.

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. FSU
4. Texas

I think Washington should be the top seed, but that’ll likely go to Michigan.

Would be hilarious if the committee switched Washington/Michigan so they can try and get a Michigan/Texas title game
