THey get to play the #7 team this weekend though.
TCU already beat that #7 team. Baylor isn't moving up unless #4 and #5 lose (which is possible)
THey get to play the #7 team this weekend though.
So who are we rooting for this weekend? Wisconsin oregon, Iowa state, missouri?
Clemson 18.
We are 11 lol.
No way we make the playoff. Not with how little respect FSU is getting. If we even want consideration, we need to DESTROY them
you are paranoid. They are DONE if they lose to Mizzou who is what 16?
Someone make me stop thinking Clemson is still within striking distance for the OB.
Please.
Not being paranoid, just realizing how biased this committee is. Most everyone, mainly ESPN, are all over the SEC. There is no way in hell, they'd leave an SEC team out of this ööööed up playoff system.
FSU hadn't lost a regular season game in over two years and won the MNC last year. Dropping them to 4th is pretty screwed up. Granted, I don't think they are no where near as good as last year, but dang, they are top dog til someone knocks them off, which will be us Saturday night.
A couple things; I'm happy Baylor is getting punished for a horrible OOC schedule. Maybe it will work its way to the SEC and they will get punished as well. Second, think about FSU from a non-ACC perspective. They may be undefeated, but they aren't that good. Alabama, Oregon, TCU, Baylor, and OSU would all beat them if they played this weekend. I don't have a problem with where they are because they definitely won't be in the top 4 when the next poll comes out. Mizzou is done. If they win, Bama drops like a rock, and Mizzou will maybe crack the 10. We don't have to worry about them. Lastly, its looking like we'll face Michigan State in the Orange Bowl. I'm not sure how I feel about that. They seem to have a really solid defense, but they also haven't played many good teams. We'll see; a lot can happen this weekend

They are doing this on purpose. The idea is that they are trying to motivate FSU to want the playoffs because the committee isn't going to take GT under any circumstances and they don't want the predicament of having to deny the ACC a team. FSU wins they are in the playoffs. GT wins and they can say "well FSU was garbage anyway."
Honestly, at this point I have a strong feeling FSU will be playing in the Orange bowl
If Arizona beats Oregon, Oregon would still be above us, same if Missouri beats Bama...the would still be above Tech . SucksThis is complete paranoia. If FSU didn't struggle against UF, they would still be #3 easily.
Based on these rankings, there is at least a set path for us to get to the playoffs assuming we jump idle teams or any team who loses other than Bama.
1. Wisconsin beats Ohio State
2. TCU loses to Iowa State.
The playoff then will be:
1. Bama
2. Oregon/Arizona winner
3. Kansas State/Baylor winner
4. Georgia Tech
It feels good to have a set path, however unlikely the second result is. For other paths, we would need to jump a team that wins this weekend like Kansas State or we would need to jump Bama.
