FSU/Bama did the committee get it right?

Answer one very simple question honestly;
If Clemson could play either FSU or Bama next weekend, which would you rather play, simply from the standpoint of which team you think we would have a better chance of beating?
I don’t like or necessarily agree with what the committee did, but I do think they picked the best 4 teams as of right now.

NO! How can you be so blind to the facts?
By the qualifications...the more qualified team was left out.

If you wanna go by speculation is new mexico state better than Alabama which needed a miracle to beat Auburn. Whilst N mexico state steamroller Auburn. I guess new mexico state is better right?

rhettfla ... Maybe we do need tampon machines in the Men's Rooms based on this outpouring of emotion on TigerNet when the selection was a cut and dried business, viewership and football decision.
And all this from TigerNet fans who want to be part of ESPN/SEC or Fox Sports/B1G. The response is twisted and dishonest from so many Tnetters who want nothing to do with the ACC.

That is correct. And emotionally, I am pizzed off that FSU was left out. But rationally, I understand. Answering the question I asked helped me see this from a rational rather than emotional standpoint.
And I really get the emotional response on here when I say Roll Tide! I hope Bama rolls Meechigan.

Didn’t Bama just beat the #1 team on a neutral field.
Not sure why NM St and Auburn play into this discussion.
Auburn and Bama is a rival game and if you have ever watched that series crazy things happen in those games.

It's still speculative and hypothetical claiming rivalry games. If that's the case then Louisville Kentucky is rivalry and Florida and Florida State is rivalry. Who would win next week pick FSu or Bama is speculative. Watch the tape between NM state vs Auburn and Alabama vs Auburn. NM state look like the better team based on their destruction of Auburn so called eye test. IT GIES BOTH WAYS

They reiterated numerous times that they wanted the four best teams. Lot of ebb and flows in a season and FSU is not the same team they had during the season.

So then skip the season and take the preseason rankings. The truth is you don’t know which team is better unless they play. What if Milroe gets injured in Dec practice, are they going to pull the invite?

Agreed. Had those 4 picked last night. Like Galloway stated it really was not that difficult to figure out.

Yes, they picked the best four teams right now. The problem is that essentially invalidates what actually happened on the football field for the last 13 weeks. And if that’s the case, why play the game at all?

Watching both teams yesterday that wouldn’t be a stretch at all. GA defense is not as good as they usually are and Washington has a very explosive offense. GA is not as good offensively with McClonkey and Bowers less than 100% as they were earlier in the year. I would like Washington’s chances against GA a lot more than FSU’s chances against GA.

Of course not. Alabama went from being a laughing stock against Auburn 2 weeks ago to being in the playoff. The only reason they didn't drop 2 places in the rankings after Auburn game was they were already the lowest ranked 1 loss team.
This decision was a complete joke, but it does keep the SUC relevant.
I'd be pissed if I was FSU.

My initial, emotional reaction was that I’m pizzed that FSU didn’t get in. But when I stopped and asked myself if I would rather play Bama or FSU right now, it made a lot more sense to me. I also think this is completely different than the logic the committee has used in every other year prior to this. I was really hoping they would put FSU in and leave the SEC out but figured there would be little chance of that actually happening.

So the eye test on the last game of the season (and not the next to last game) wins out over what a team did over the course of the season. Ridiculous and no I do not think the committee got it right.
The committee may as well admit that the criteria for choosing involves listening to the ESPN spin machine. 😡

Your whole argument is wrong. It should never be about who can beat who and who’s playing the best at the end of the year. The whole season matters.
FSU deserved their shot. Hack Mich could throw three picks abd FSU wins 23-24 who’s freaking knows. But if you went off of who would win agains who at the end then the it would be a mess. It would probably be
Bama
GA
Michigan
Washington/Texas
But that’s not how it goes. The regular season matters.

I’m not making an argument. I even said I don’t like or agree with what the committee did. But I can rationalize the decision based on the fact that I would rather play FSU than Bama as both teams stand right now. Judging by the video of the Meechigan team’s reaction when #4 was announced, I believe they feel the same way.

The fact is FSU earned a spot in the CFP’s it does not matter who you want to play. You play the team who earned there way into the playoffs.
Ask yourself this question??? If it was not Bama coached by Saban would bama have gotten in the CFP.
My opinion is no they would not. Texas earned their way in, FSU earned their way in Bama was gifted in. They did not earn their way in.
ESPN for ratings and pure Greed to pair Bama against Texas or Michigan in the finals. It’s all about the the $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Just pure greed regardless of who ESPN had to step on,
Would those who think the committee got it right feel that way if it was Clemson on the outside looking in ???

The defense has been playing so well late in the year neither FSU nor Bama would score much against us. Milroe would make a few crazy run around plays but he'd be running around in the backfield a lot.
If we stuck to the zone read running game I think we'd get enough points on Bama, more than Auburn got anyway.
I really want to see Mich tear up Bama's run defense.

That is exactly the way I see it too. Not saying I agree. It’s also frustrating that the committee seems to be looking at it differently this year than they have in past years. They have always said their job was to pick the 4 best teams, but I don’t think they have ever had to deal with the gap between best team and most deserving team that they ran into this year.

Ok here’s a follow up question. What order would you want to play Washington Georgia and Alabama?

Good question. I would really have a hard time separating them. Maybe would rather play Washington just because I think we match up better with them because our defense is good enough to really slow down their offense and I don’t think their defense is as good as Bama’s or Georgia’s so that would give our offense a little better chance. Just like we saw last night, I don’t think there is much separation between Bama and GA. I think Bama’s defense may be a little better than GA’s but I think GA’s offense is better than Bama’s IF Bowers and McClonkey are both healthy. So I guess I would want to play Washington first then GA and last Bama because GA and Bama are so similar and I’d give Bama the edge on coaching.

out and out Georgia in too and I wouldn’t be upset about it. Ohio State also has a case. I’d take Ohio State over Washington.

No...in fact of precedent Ohio State deserves the spot more than Bama...but dumping an undefeated conference champ in FSU and retaining a conference champ in Washington who squeaked by in a conference with no defense the committee has turned the ACC into trash and the committee decision into a laughable gift to what should have been a 2 lossjoke! The whole committee should resign or be fired!
Then they can all truly go to work for the SEC or Disney as clowns!

would have 4 more weeks of reps and prep for their backup QB to be ready
FSU earned the right to prove they belonged or not.
