Auburn was embarrassed losing to NM State at home. Thats like App State beating and embarrasing Michigan at the Big House a number of years ago. Tigers were too busy looking at the next game. A number of gamblers lost big on the NM game.
Exactly. Good job. See, around the SEC everyone knew this. It’s the Iron Bowl, or what they call in West Georgia, door step to heaven. It’s their superbowl. They don’t care about NMSU. They want to beat big brother.
There is also a lot more emotional fan base in Big 10, SEC that travels to away games much more than PAC 12 . The distances àre much more farther to get there to support ( ie UCLA playing WSU, UWA etc ). My cousin's kid goes to LSU which has a fanatical fan base as one example. Its one of the loudest places to play, ear shattering at a night game.
I’m sorry. I misspoke. I meant SEC football.
Washington was undefeated and had a strength of schedule at 8. They only had one close game against a bad team (blew out the rest, and their close games were against good schools). Honestly not sure where you are going with this one. Again, Bama nearly lost like 4 times to BAD schools. If we are just going to go off of how good we think teams are as opposed to how they play, then just get rid of the regular season all together.
Good bye Pac12 which was not much loved while all teams including Washington join other conferences. UWA and others are called late night football at times where fans like me don't bother watching s
I asked for a year end review of Washington….not sure how Bama played in to review….
No truer words ever spoken.
Logic? Two choices for FSU were #3 and #7....leave them at #3 or drop them below Texas, Bama, Georgia and Ohio State. The CFP did neither....
Door Step to Heaven? Never heard that one in my decades at Georgia....
This isn't anywhere close to the same team. They have something like 26 players not playing this game, including ones responsible for around 50 tds this year. It's a nonsense argument to try and justify a corrupt system.
CFP really blew it this year.....ESPN influence showed up late...and the Orange Bowl is what they deserve
- I agree with corrupt system
Who knows maybe the selection committee got it right. FSU was a weak team to begin with regardless of going 13-0 barely defeating BC who was 6-6 for the season.
My issue is the way they had FSU ranked after the Florida win and subsequent loss of their QB......that's when they should have dropped to 6 or lower, with the chance of redemption in the ACC Title Game
Remind me again what the records of USF and Auburn were?
Bama bounced....let the drama begin!
I didn't give Washington much respect , now they are playing Michigan for the championship.
Me either....obvious from my previous posts in this thread,,,,
Agreed...FSU not getting was the statement as far as money grab
