My Final Four

[BTF69]

I tend to lean pro-SEC on these decisions because of its playoff track record. But leaving Florida State out would bring back memories of when Nebraska was going to get shut out of the Bowl Alliance title game in favor of a Florida State-Notre Dame rematch - because, you know, either of those teams would just completely destroy Nebraska!

Thank goodness BC upset Notre Dame, or that's exactly how the '93 season plays out.

So I'll go with the three undefeated teams plus Texas, even though I despise Texas.

I think they set a really bad precedent if they take FSU out.

They are basically saying that THEY can predict the future now. What is stopping them from later one saying "Well, IF one of their best players get hurt in practice during playoff prep, they would not be as good, because they don't have another star behind that guy, so we are going to take them out"

I think this is the right answer. They can't and frankly shouldn't leave FSU out even though they're not one of the best four teams right now.

Wow you really are a petulant little man aren't you? lol
I'll never understand the anger issues behind posting stuff like this but it's your life you want to hate people you don't know simply because of the school they they went to then be my guest.

Horns Down

 

[BleedRed78]

In no particular order;

Texas
Michigan
Florida State
Washington

This. Respect what Alabama did, and starting next year their toe of efforted result will mean more. But not this year due to the loss to Texas.

 

[hookem]

Look at you, obsessed. You can't stop and now, again, you have become angry all because you had to read "Horns Down"
Is it that big of a deal?

I'm not the one posting angry rants on a football board and it is sad that you don't see how pathetic it makes you look. I like and respect the huskers and most husker fans and enjoy chatting with them.
You really do need help and there's a little button you can click that says ignore. I would suggest you click that if my being here is so triggering for you.
In fact I just ignored you so you can spare the rest of the people on this thread your immature rants.

 

[Huskers123456]

I love that people are still bitching that 12 will suck.

Even with 4 it is cool. 12 will be ****ing amazing.

Next year = clarity.

 

[Baxter48]

I post here from time to time. Met a lot of great husker fans over the years in our games and root for Nebraska when not playing Texas. Is that okay? Does that meet your approval?

I was also curious of why you post on a Nebraska board

 

[hookem]

Yeah I went to several games in Lincoln and met some really great people there and became a fan of Nebraska on my trips up there. Some of the best opposing fans I've ever met in my life and I still root for you guys because of it.

FSU beat LSU from the mighty SEC. That must have slipped your mind.

the 5th best team in the SEC? Still not impressed.

They played nobody who had realistic aspirations of being in the playoff

 

[Mack In Motion]

Completely ignoring the fact that Alabama needed a miracle to beat a terrible Auburn team just a week ago.

This is how good Auburn is lately:

Two weeks ago

New Mexico State 31
Auburn 10

This is why when it gets to 12 (and 16 someday because of the money) it will be much better.

Clearly 13-0 FSU belongs in, but the argument can be made that you leave them out because it is only 4 teams.


Once it is 12, the team that gets "left out" will be between two teams with 2-3 losses. No one will really care except for that fanbase.

They beat Missouri who is ranked in the top 10. Granted, it's Missouri, but when Georgia beats them or Alabama beats them, it gets touted as a good win for them. Same with LSU, somehow it's unimpressive when Florida State beats them but it's touted as a big win for Alabama and Georgia.

You know, this is a good point. Face it, they "lost" that game to Auburn, I get it, they won, but that was a loss and everyone knows it.

So that should be part of the discussion.

 

[Badger Pete]

Playoffs: Michigan, Washington, Florida State, Texas

Best Teams: Alabama, Michigan, Texas, Ohio State

Sqeaked by the same team that got boat raced by New Mexico State.

 

[Rick.Shaw]

1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Texas
4. Washington

What are your four?

1. Washington
2. Michigan
3. Texas
4. Florida State

 

[dinglefritz]

Why should Michigan be the number one seed? The only highly rated team they played was Ohio st Penn st and Iowa, didn’t Washington have a tougher schedule? plus they beat a top ten team twice in Oregon

A caller on the radio this morning made a pretty strong case for leaving Michigan out.

 

[major.tom.foolery]

This. Respect what Alabama did, and starting next year their toe of efforted result will mean more. But not this year due to the loss to Texas.

You were more thoughtful on your reply. I just went feral with my choices and said, effff the SEC

 

[RBigredMax]

They did FSU dirty as expected.

 

[RBigredMax]

Michigans punishment is playing Bama round 1.

 

[Bruce1981]

College football is dead.

 

[scarletred]

This won’t be an issue next year..

I want to see the the next 6..

 

[Joedaly]

They didn’t have the balls to exclude a SEC school and deal with the meltdown. Easier to take the heat from FSU fans than SEC fans and media.

 

[kakdawg]

An unbeaten, and ACC conference champion FSU is left out? how? that would make history.

i dont like FSU like the rest of us. but no way they can be left out after going 13-0 at P5 level.

Well they just did it. I don't think they are top 4 without their starting QB however I don't think I could've left them out. That's a tough one...


Holla

 

[jmliehr]

Undefeated FSU has been above Texas in EVERY ranking, including after the QB injury. Someone explain how beating a 4 loss Oklahoma State team vaults them above FSU.

 

[Yantzeee]

8 teams in the conversation, though Oregon is weak

Michigan - No Question
u-Dub - No Question
Texas - Tie Breaker (beat Bama)
Alabama - Tie Breaker (Beat UGA)

all 4 above have have wins over top 8 teams. The next 4 don’t have any wins and 3 of those 4 have losses to top 4 teams. Seems pretty obvious this should be the 4.

Think Kirby F-d around and found out. Finebaum declared Dawgs in before the game and think Kirby drank the Kool-aid and didn’t leave it all out on the line yesterday

You think Kirby and the Dawgs underestimated Bama??? dude, no that’s a legit rivalry.

Wouldn't say dead but it's a complete joke.

 

[moralvictories]

Only if Texas or Florida State is left out of the playoffs.

The propaganda couldn't go after Texas because of the 10 point win in Tuscaloosa over the gulps. They had to pick at FSU and their injuries and they had to put Texas in if they were gonna put the gumps in.

FSU went undefeated and even scheduled two SEC teams in their OOC schedule. What more do you want from them?

I think FSU was screwed. I'm explaining how they got screwed. Read it again

 

[saluno22]

Eight SEC teams. And that's probably their goal: Join the SEC.

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

Alabama will most likely win the whole thing IMO. Michigan vs Alabama could possibly be the defacto Nation Championship game.

 

[major.tom.foolery]

It's just a popularity contest. Basically Miss Universe in cleats.

 

[buckknowsall]

that's how.

ACC is so weak that a guy who was 36-34 in the Big 10 West nearly won it all his first year at a middling program. Even Duke was bullying teams before their QB went down

tip of the hat to ya for calling FSU....history was made.

i dont like FSU either but leaving them out is a terrible decision.

Ooooooo. I wanna see that.
