College playoffs. Who should it be?

[leftwinger]

I bet ALA is in. Either FSU or TX is the last spot.

 

[rightwinger]

12-1 Alabama or 12-1 Georgia would most likely beat FSU head to head when the Noles are down to a third string freshman QB

But by the rules it should be 13-0 FSU in the playoffs

It doesn’t matter what team you are taking into the playoffs, but the team that qualified for the playoffs

In the end a 4 team playoff is really not enough. Should have done a three round top 8 IMO

Question is… who do they get in over?

Texas but I have trouble believing Bama should get over Texas. Tough choices.

 

[leftwinger]

But by the rules

with all due respect? I was unaware of any set-printed-followed rules.

 

[Papageorgio]

Maybe we are leaving out Georgia and it goes Michigan, Washington, FSU and Georgia? Maybe the close loss to Alabama does remove them from a playoff spot.

I think FSU qualifies

Next year the playoffs will have 12 teams

Both are great teams and both would stream roll Florida who barely squeezed out a win over Louisville yesterday

There guidelines if not binding rules for the selection committee to follow

Georgia had their game last night and Bama beat them to take the league title. If an SEC team goes it has to be the league champs

I’m not sure FSU is a top four team but how do you take out an undefeated big five school?

 

[Slade3200]

Better than 4

How will the College Football Playoff Committee pick the top four teams?

There are 13 committee members who look at a range of criteria.

But the polls are saying Georgia still one, don’t we want the absolute best four?

The poll we have now was taken before the games on saturday

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Then Alabama should get in for knocking out #1 Georgia.

Nope. Alabama lost to Texas.
Again, it may or may not be fair, but sometimes, that's the way it goes.

 

[eagle1462010]

FSU should be in because they are 13 and 0. Regardless of injuries or conference.

Then its Ala or Texas....Im a Alabama Guy but Texas beat us....sooo post 4 is it

I'm all for this. The #1 and #2 seeds get a bye week.

 

[rightwinger]

Some say the goal is to install the four best teams….not some fairness doctrine.

ALA just beat #1 at GA home field practically. I doubt the suits leave ALA out no matter what. IMO GA is out as they just lost “their playoff game” yesterday.

Goal is not to subjectively go by some estimate of who is best?

You qualify based on your record
How can you put Alabama in over Texas when Texas beat them head to head?
