Freshman Brock Glenn it is. This should be… interesting.

I forgot about your team having to survive. Should be a fun night.

UofL keeps taking deep shots and none of them hit… but they keep doing it.

[Ramsay B.]

This is going pretty much as expected. For whatever reason FSU is obsessed with delayed handoffs, even with Travis. It can be maddening.

Still can't be as bad as the Bears only throwing screen passes.

Man… I wish Kentucky could play just one season with an ACC schedule

Why? So they can be a just above average team in a shittier conference?

But yeah, has been a much worse year in the ACC than usual.

I watched the entire Jets-Giants game this season. I’ve seen some shit.

Hello darkness my old friend.

...And the nightmare CFP scenario is activated!

[Mr. Chatywin et al.]

UGA being the two time defending champ and losing closely might bump FSU to 5. They'll absolutely lose their shit if it happens, but UGA is the better team.

The committee should be disbanded if they leave out an undefeated P5 conference champion.

FSU reddit would be insanity if/when that happens, and I kinda wanna see it.

Not sure the P5 tradition matters. Michigan, Bama and Washington have every right to be in the playoff. FSU would have a case if their star QB wasn't injured, but that game was trash and Louisville was no wear close to UGA. They'd probably be a 10 point favorite heads up against FSU.

I don't look at reddit much, but yeah, it would be comedy, especially as the the FL and Miami fans taunt them. 

[Corvinus85]

So is there any kind of math involved in establishing the rankings, or is it just about feelings?

I would love it if this league could become clearer. Or you know, make it a real playoff, you lose you're done.

I visit the Uconn b-ball forum and FSU reddit. The common denominator of 2 totally unrelated programs is that they’re both totally shunned by the media, and the refs are against them in every game. It’s seriously comical. Obviously this could be said for every fandom of any team ever, but it just makes me laugh. The internet and humans are fascinating.

The committee has to be shitting themselves now. How to squeeze an SEC team into this. Texas beat Bama, and Fsu is undefeated. Decision, decisions!!

It's basically about feelings.

And next year will be a 12-team playoff.

And, this is the first time in the playoff history that it has really mattered.

Most years there are nowhere near four “deserving” teams.

Hell, even going back to the BCS, it was rarely an issue with more than two.

This is going to suck. Not looking forward to the moment they kick out an undefeated conference champ so an SEC team can get in. I will feel so bad for the players who worked their ass off and did everything they were supposed to do.

(They're better off including FSU).

I don’t see it as any different than the year Cincinnati basketball was having an amazing season, only for Kenyon Martin to break his leg just before selection Sunday.

That committee rightly recognized that the team was no longer the same one that had been so dominant and dropped them a couple seed lines.

They lost.  As expected when they didn’t have their best player.

If Jordan Travis was healthy, absolutely FSU should be in.  But with Tate Rodemaker or the kid from last night?!!? That team is barely top ten.

I get your logic but there are 50 kids on that team that have worked their ass off to put FSU in this position. They played the games, they won the games. Just because one kid got injured, it shouldn't take away all that everyone else has earned. That defense is as legit as they come and their skill players are legit on offense. They deserve the shot. As they say, that's why you play the games and every game they've played, they've won. Committee shouldn't take it away from the kids.
