OFFICIAL 2023-2024 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD *THE START OF THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINE DYNASTY; UPDATE 1/24/2024: THE END OF THE MICHIGAN DYNASTY*

[N41D]

Yesterday felt like “Bama has to be in” and then “well how do we do that without getting pressed on Texas and everyone looked around and decided FSU was the easiest to push aside.

If UGA wins, I don’t think FSU gets left out. At that point there’s nothing else to have to explain away and UGA gets FSU game 1.

 

[nako xl]

I agree. Remember my post from the other day?

I felt either they would have to leave out the SEC and then deal with that fall out, or leave out someone else who deserved to be in like FSU or Texas and reckon with that.

Feels like they went for the scenario that would give them the best TV product, precedent and everything else be damned.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

I'm not so sure about that. I think if UGA wins they still put Texas in

I could be wrong (and of course we'll never know) but I have my doubts personally

 

[N41D]

I just think most years they’ve looked for the least controversial path to 4 teams everyone can live with.

Some years it’s best four. Some years it’s “most deserving” with their arbitrary criteria changing year over year.

Do the 12 team tournament, bring back the BCS

But Texas's best win at that point would be over a 2 loss Bama. A win over a 1 loss Bama SEC champ is different.

Side note, I also think Saban knew the scenario was "win and you're in."

You could be right. But at the end of the day they make the decision that they want to make, especially with this being the last year of the 4 team playoff, and justify it however they want to. I just don't put anything past them and their quest to maximize eyeballs and push things the way they think it should go

Should I be happy if we get Will Howard? I think I'd just let Miller and Malachi play it out. Howard is good though.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Guessing Riley feels he can put him an office conducive to his skillset like he did w/ Hurts?

Very happy for all of these players for exploring their options and doing what’s best for them and their families.

These Florida government officials are a joke. Between them banning books, fighting with Disney and failing to prevent insurance companies from denying coverage for Florida homeowners just because they live in a hurricane zone, they have time for this? This is embarrassing.

 

[langfor5]

Go win your game and have a parade like UCF did.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Politicians picking off low hanging fruit for attempts at quick wins in the public eye of their constituents is par for the course for politics

But the fact that guys like Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis are actually right in their views tells you how bad the decision was

Basically. Because it’s obvious that the committee is even worse than the computers.

 

[2163O1baller90]

Lincoln keinholz better start training now

 

[NickFolarin]

The question every year now going forward is who the hell is staying at their current school?

 

[N41D]

Basically. Because it’s obvious that the committee is even worse than the computers.

Impossible not to be.

Biases exist. Emotions exist.

There's no perfect solution here, but moving backwards from what we had to further emphasize human element when every other aspect of sports is actively trying to move away from it is goofy.

 

[nako xl]

Cam Ward going to the highest bidder.

 

[nako xl]

For what it's worth... Bama would have been in with the computers too. Texas would have been out. That would have been a whole other **** storm.

 

[casper90403]

No way tOSU gets Cam Ward. They dont spend money is what I was told. Right?




















I'm kidding.

Another QB for little Lincoln to waste with a sorry defense.
