Iowa's D may be better, it is hard to know since they are Big 10 stats and Iowa gave up points to both of the ranked teams they played; but saying FSU's D isn't even close makes you look ignorant.

Louisville is overrated like Mizzou is overrated and Iowa is overrated. All 3 of those teams have strengths and leveraged them into miracle wins throughout the season. Louisville’s strength has been its offense. Its offense was neutered tonight by a great defense.

That'll be controversial because of Texas's head-to-head win. I thought in the case of comparable teams they look at head to head

What does Louisvilles defense have to do with whether the FSU defense was good or not for stopping Lousivilles offense?
By defensive FEI rankings before this weeks games, Iowas(6th) is better than FSU's(9th) but not immensely; it's a similar but smaller distance than Iowa's is from Michigans(4th).
Fair enough. But saying B1G stats are worse than ACC stats isn’t exactly helping the case. The ACC ended up at the bottom at 5/5 of P5 conferences.

Based on precedent, logic, and body of work the CFP should be:
UM, UW, FSU, UT
UM, UW, FSU, UT

It's not like UL has a bad defense, they're easily a Top 25 defense themselves. FSU’s defense is just one of the best in the country. It really is that simple. A 10 pt win over a 10-2 Top 15 team to end the season undefeated. Yeah, they've earned it. If the playoff committee listens to these retarded talking heads, then the ACC should withdraw from the NCAA.

No you don't. You have made it absolutely clear that you don't think FSU should get in.

Committee will likely pick Michigan, Washington, Texas, Alabama
Committee should pick Michigan, Washington, FSU, Texas.
The media will work incessantly to flex its muscle over the next hours to make the case FSU should be left out and the SEC champion included. I wish for once we would do the right thing instead of letting ESPN/ABC opinions be treated as proven facts.
For all who argue for the best four, not the undefeated ACC champions, there is no objective way to determine that best four. Michigan/Ohio State are so close. Bama/Georgia are so close. Texas beat Bama. Washington/Oregon are so close. Your best four depends on your conference bias.

By that "best 4" logic, all FSU needs to do is find and injure Bama's quarterback before tomorrow morning. Then they're not "best 4" material anymore because reasons. It's a stupid argument.
