Not surprised, you just flip one and two and that is what happened. Never really thought Washington would be number one.
If it is the four best teams, and you compare Alabama and FSU,... Come on. Not close because QB is THAT important.
I think both games are great matchups.
I hope they are. I dislike all 4 teams, but I hate Washington the least of all of them. I hope the winner of 2 and 3 wins it all.
Fiesta?
I like this idea
good points. Bama eliminated Georgia last night and that shot Texas ahead of both of them. What Georgia did in prior seasons has no bearing on today. from there it was between Alabama and Florida State. I think either decision would have been controversial. The SEC would be crying as loudly as Florida State are, that their champion were left out. I understand the frustration from Florida State. I would be pissed that Alabama got in over them if I were a Florida State supporter. Like others pointed out, thankfully next season the playoffs will be expanded. This beauty contest has been happening for a long time, this is not a new thing to CFB. The expanded playoffs should solve some problems, but there's still going to be imperfections and teams getting screwed because of opinions that factor into the rankings.
Interesting, I just saw the bracket for what the 12 team playoffs would be this year if we were going by next year's rules. and 13-0 Liberty would be the final seed. that would leave out OU and LSU who would easily claim they are better than some of the teams that made the final bracket. But good point that you made..next year things will change with many teams changing conferences so that will shake things up some. The SEC and Big 10 are going to be deeper than they ever have been.
they are indeed playing one another. hopefully the top players opt to play in that game so that we can see a good game leading up to the playoffs.
All four teams are really tough. I've watched Texas all year long and their defense has been tough all year, but has gotten stronger as the year went on. Texas would match up a lot better against Michigan or Bama because I think Texas is both physical on offense and has the speed to make a team defend every square inch of the field. I think Washington will be their most difficult opponent because Washington are like that on offense as well. I kind of wish that the 2 games were opposite in some way, but it will definitely make for interesting games.
Respectfully, that's bull puckey. You just told a power 5 conference that winning means nothing. Bama should be out.
I always thought that his press conferences were more entertaining than his football teams. and his teams were pretty good.
Thing is, even if Bama lost, Texas still would’ve made that #4 spot over FSU. FSU would’ve been out regardless.
Yep.
Exactamundo.
Florida? lol.
I couldn't care less about these games.
