Playoffs?

Does anyone remember the last time FSU was put in the playoffs because they earned it against a mediocre ACC schedule?

They lost 59-20 to Oregon.

Yall can’t seriously believe FSU is better than Alabama.

FSU isn’t ranked higher than fifth for the same reason Liberty isn't ranked higher than 23rd.

I don't think they're better than Bama either but I do think they had a better resume than Bama and are more deserving of the Playoff spot.

Liberty didn't play strong P5 competition but FSU did.

what does a season several years ago have to do with 2023? The silly rankings and playoffs are supposed to be about the current season, not something the better part of a decade ago.

I’ll finish with a question: when the dwags beat F$U 99-7 will any of y’all change your tune?

Also also: the debate is fun. I hope they never fix it. Unless they go to a Premier League style tiered system (which would be awesome).
 
People seem to assume uga will blow out FSU because of “ma eye test” but every objective measure of comparison indicates the opposite.

This is why CFB needs to have 8 conferences of 12 teams each. Conferences play a round robin schedule every year, with a 12th OOC game against any team from any other conference that doesn't count in the conference standings (showcase cross-regional games). The 8 conference winners make the playoffs. You play everyone in your conference - run the table and you are in. No selection committee.

All other schools in the NCAA (e.g. Univ of Buffalo) go to Div II.

If you want to spice it up, the every 5 years the 2 teams with the worst 5 year performance in their conference are relegated to Div II and the 16 Div II with the best 5 year performance move to Div I.
 
Considering how close everything was, the Committee should have chosen Texas and FSU as they are new teams. It would be good for football if ESPN did not control everything and new teams had a chance.
 
Committee should’a dropped FSU right after QB broke his leg- but didn’t. Kept them in there for few more weeks, then kicked them out for #7 and #8. Bad look is bad. Also- agree with EJ that if Jordan Travis means that much to the entire CFP- he should be in NY for the Heisman.

To solve you have a third party set up the conferences using 10 year performance normalized against SOS overlaid with geographic region - West, Central, SE, NE - 2 conferences in each (maybe 1 West, 1 Central, 3 NE, 3 SE - you get the point). Rank the regional teams, then parcel them out to the conferences in pairs.

You could re-seed and adjust every 5 years when the relegation happens.

The NFL manages this by rotating cross-divisional matchups every year and matching up best teams from prior year in the following year to achieve parity. Too many teams to juggle in CFB to take this approach.
