This is just another term for bias, bullshite, politics, and corruption. It opens the door for teams to get screwed like Florida State did this year.

This could just as easily happen to LSU in future years if the committee has some schools like Alabama or Texas who they want to put in the playoff. It’s wrong and needs to go away.

More likely will help LSU and has in the past.
Fair or not FSU doesn’t belong in the top 10 without Travis and a functional offense anymore than LSU without a defense.

If one person’s eyes says one thing, but another set of eyes says the opposite, which one is a true?

It's very simple. If FSU wanted to be in the playoffs they should have just lost a game and changed their name to Alabama. It's their fault for going undefeated and not changing their name.

Agree 100%. The supposed CFB experts can’t even consistently pick the winning teams on weekends during the season. And the committee is not solely “college football experts”. I know Condoleeza Rice was on the committee awhile back. Don’t if she still is

I really wish that a legit boycott were to be organized to not watch the Rose Bowl. That’s the only way to show your disapproval. Tank the ratings.

I don’t plan on watching a game with Alabama playing in it.

Remember when the national championship was simply awarded based on the eye test?

see all of the Nebraska, OU, Notre Dame titles before the BCS

It's not much of an "eye test" when you had them closed for the Alabama-UCF and Alabama-Auburn games.

What happened to FSU would not happen to LSU. If we won the SEC championship with Collins, Nuss coming in for the playoffs, because HD was injured the last 2 games, there is no way they would leave us out if we were undefeated.

I don’t think LSU has to worry about that. I just can’t imagine that happening to an SEC team especially LSU Bama UGA

Absolutely everyone picked Oregon to win even with the benefit of watching the first game.


And everybody still got it wrong.

Maybe you heard about this thing that is coming next season. It's called a 12-team Playoff. In the meantime maybe you should shelve all this fake rage for the committee when it's all about BAMA.

I know, I know, people hate what they fear. Fear on.
