They all play each other and only the winner goes to the playoffs. Alabama is not in the playoffs either. The point is beat Clemson and you’re in the playoffs and if you’re Notre Dame you don’t even have to do that. So if you were to get lucky one game you get in the playoffs. We have to play Tennessee LSU and Georgia every year. If we can beat them all we get to play LSU or Alabama again. There is no lucking your way in the playoffs out of the SEC. Most 3-4 teams that have been in the playoffs did not deserve to be there. This year with a little different. I think they did actually get the best 3 or four teams. My guess would be that Alabama is the only team outside of the playoffs that has a chance to beat Georgia right now.
Those acc guys don’t understand the struggle as they’ve never seen a schedule like we played last year. Easy path to the playoffs is a real thing.
But this year is this year and next year is next year. Hence why I said, FSU is pushing all in to try to get into the playoffs next year.
I’ve been around FSU long enough to understand difficult schedules. We’ve played our share. Given my choice, I’d prefer to leave the ACC for better pastures. But we can only play the schedule in front of us…and if we win them all, we will be in with a chance to win it all.
Some do you get an easier path than others for sure but I do agree that conference champions that win all their games should be in no matter who they are. Cincinnati not so much.
Why does it matter how many they play? The discussion is about the road to the playoffs…not how proud you should be playing 7 ranked teams and going 1-6.
The discussion in this thread is supposed to be about transfer portal players from schools other than Florida . . . NOT your hoped program ascending appearance in the 2023-24 play-offs. Threads won't be hijacked to discussed the CrimiNoles.
Your playoff hopes will be gone after the first game. LSU is going to destroy FSU. By the time they played UF, they were twice the team they were at the beginning of the year. I don't particularly like him, but Kelly knows how to coach and his roster is stacked. Way more talent than FSU.
All I started out doing is correcting someone regarding Spurriers record against Bowden. Sorry to upset your party.
Playing just Utah may have helped, those other five kicked our ass. Maybe we could have won the soft ass pac 12
More than enough. Figured I’d stop in and chat assuming you weren’t insecure about the presence of an FSU fan. If I’m wrong, so be it. Have a great evening if you want to.
