    Worst but undefeated is a very good season. Winning with a third string quarterback is impressive, despite the fact that I do not like the ‘’Noles.

    Yeah, I'd trade with them in a second, but that doesn't mean they're one of the top 4 teams

    I can't believe that Louisville's offense was outshined against fsu by ours. How bad is the ACC that the second best team looked worse than us, and the best team in the championship and should've had a loss last week?

    THat is pretty impressive. Have to give Norvell credit for having the team do what it takes to win.
    Still...any playoff game with them in it will be a weak matchup and will lose viewership compared to Mich, Washington, Alabama, Texas.

    After watching that game I had a lot more admiration for the way our kids performed and a lot more disappointment in the way they were coached.

    The FSU defense is nasty. If they end up with the fourth seed, they will match up pretty well with Michigan, even starting their second string QB.

    The conspiracy theory that the ACC refs are in on the fix lives on. Many instances of holding on both sides of the ball that weren't called. I mean, come on, how many white undershirts with hands on them do you have to see before you throw a flag? I'm not sure Michael Irvin wasn't suited up the way Johnny Wilson was manhandling the Louisville defensive backs.

    The four BEST teams will not get in. You would have to include Georgia and most likely eliminate the team that just beat them as no one would want two SEC teams, Michigan and Washington. Deciding what teams are BEST is subjective, but that Georgia is one of the four best, is near unanimous. If you don't include the best teams, them FSU being undefeated and a conference champ seems most likely. The ACC absolutely boat raced the SEC early in the season going 4-1 and winning every game by double digits including wins over #5 LSU and #24 TAM. That could hurt BAMA and Georgia. The SEC could be left without anyone in the playoffs. If you do include the best teams, then Georgia should get in. In the end, the whole process will be dishonest as they will have to eliminate the conference champion that beat the best team in college football or one of the top four teams. As they used to say at the beginning of the Six Million Dollar Man "We have the technology" There are at least seven teams with a legitimate argument as to why they should be in. It would be a real coup if they could expand the playoffs to eight teams this year and get a real champion.
