$$$$$$on what basis?
The number 14 team, 10 wins, etc. is a "crap" team?It's not locked in. Anyone watching FSU against a crap Louisville team thinking FSU is deserving of getting into the playoff isn't paying attention.
Let's not act like Cincy didn't give Bama a better game than most of their schedule that yearThey vacillate. They also care the most about getting attention. The Cinci Cinderella story was theirs.
Seeding will be:
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Florida State
4. (Insert one loss team here)
yes, and add certain voters who want to try to slow the sec roll.$$$$$$
Michigan, Washington, and Florida State have PERFECT resumes
Undefeated Conference Champions
And they needed a miracle to beat a very average Auburn team, a week agoLet's not act like Cincy didn't give Bama a better game than most of their schedule that year
Are there legal agreements holding programs to the CFP or is the CFP just an open ended tournament?yes, and add certain voters who want to try to slow the sec roll.
setting the idea that an undefeated team from a conference that is not the sec or big10 is auto ahead of any 1 loss sec or b10 team is go forward helpful.
expanded playoffs-- expanded big 10 and sec will argue that due to SOS their lesser teams are more deserving than conference champs.
work to hold that off.
Seeding will be:
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Florida State
4. Texas
Beat #1 UGA. Won SEC championship. Beat 4 top 25 teams. Lost to playoff UT.What exactly has Bama done to make them top 4? Honestly?
Wait, UGA gets in over a Bama team that just beat them? A Bama team who won the conference? Texas should get the final spot. Sorry SEC you didn't have a good enough year this year. Will be good to see them on the sidelines for a change.SEC will make sure they get a team in here. I’m thinking they can’t pick Alabama cuz UT beat them in Alabama…hence UGA is the compromise pick at #4.
The number 14 team, 10 wins, etc. is a "crap" team?
And FSU has beaten more bowl eligible teams than anyone.Beat #1 UGA. Won SEC championship. Beat 4 top 25 teams. Lost to playoff UT.
Anyone looking from the outside can see that Alabama-Georgia game and come away thinking...sure Alabama won, but are they really better?SEC will make sure they get a team in here. I’m thinking they can’t pick Alabama cuz UT beat them in Alabama…hence UGA is the compromise pick at #4.
It's fun because it's different. It's what the sport needsMichigan
Washington
Texas
FSU
That is a great top four. Legitimately one of the more fun groups of the entire CFP era.

I don’t think bowl eligible is in the criteria.And FSU has beaten more bowl eligible teams than anyone.
Who would win between Auburn and Louisville at a neutral site?
Agree. Georgia escaped some mediocre SEC opponents, had a weak schedule. SEC was not what it usually is this year.SEC was garbage this year. So Alabama will only get the 3 spot and Georgia will get the 4 spot, because the committee.
Also can't ding Texas for taking that game and winning it in Tuscaloosa.Alabama argument hinges on how they're getting screwed for playing a top non-conference opponent like the Committee (and networks) want. If they'd played a G5, they'd be a lock as the 1 or 2 seed right now.
That argument falls flat when looking at the UW & FSU schedules, but it makes a point with Michigan (though they do play a 9-game conference schedule).
Nubs got in and didn't even go to the conference championshipWait, UGA gets in over a Bama team that just beat them? A Bama team who won the conference? Texas should get the final spot. Sorry SEC you didn't have a good enough year this year. Will be good to see them on the sidelines for a change.
Whose loss is the worst:Agreed that the SEC is better than the Big 12 this year but that doesn't matter because UT beat Bama at their place. And Texas has closed out very well the past 2 weeks with big wins.
The big argument will be Bama or FSU if the Noles win tonight. FSU is 2-0 against the SEC with an impressive win against LSU but Alabama also beat LSU. FSU's win against a Florida team that isn't even bowl eligible doesn't mean a whole lot. Alabama was 3-1 against the top 25 coming into today and FSU was 2-1, both will get top 25 wins today with an FSU win. I just think Alabama's win over #1 Georgia will put them over the top.
