Dolfan in NYC Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 For the last time, the top 4 teams will compete for the chance to hoist a crystal football that costs more than the budget for all four school's English departments combined! YOUR MATCHUPS~! Rose Bowl (Semifinal) | 5 p.m. ET Monday, Jan. 1 on ESPN #1 VS. #4 Sugar Bowl (Semifinal) | 8:45 p.m. Monday, Jan. 1 on ESPN #2 VS #3 CFP National Championship Game (Houston, Texas) | 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 8 on ESPN Undefeated FSU gets fucked over hard because of injuries.

Raziel Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 God for-fucking-bid we go a season without a blessed SEC school in the playoffs. FSU got fucked. And no, I'm not mad that now Michigan has to go through Bama because SEC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 To be fair, that FSU/Louisville game last night was a pretty brutal viewing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Oh like Michigan vs Iowa will be remembered for years to come. The only thing I can figure is the committee doesn't think that Florida State backup QB will be back in 3 weeks (which is dumb as hell) and just didn't want to deal with the potential of a horrible game. Also shows you that nobody outside of the Atlantic coast areas cares about the ACC Edited December 3, 2023 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 26-0 is a tad more impressive than winning 16-6. Florida State played 3 ranked opponents all year. The ACC was the epitome of mediocre once you got past the top. Even then, Louisville played last night like they also had a 3rd string QB. Anyways, Clemson remains the only ACC team ever to make the CFP under the current format and Texas/Washington are the second Big 12/Pac 12 schools to make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 We won the game the same way the 49ers won vs the Packers in 2021 and the Jaguars won the game vs the Bills in 2017. I know what’s different about those 2 games which makes this not the same, but I also know the similarities for the comparison, which means we got effed IMO.

BloodyChamp Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I’m cooling down over here which isn’t to dramatic of a change because I was just so happy that we made it back to the dance. We were such trash for so long… I’m going to miss this because from now on it will just be another playoff bracket like at every other sport at every other level. The funnest part about CFB was the tiny imperfections that made so many different things matter, but almost never get added up to amount to everything being perfect. The bowl games, the waiting to see who they would vote in even though they might not have played in the main game, the fighting about it lol! This will never happen again. We will be the last team to have had to eat it just like we were the last BCS Champions. Also whatever beatdown we would have took couldn’t be any worse than the 1 Oregon gave us Edited December 3, 2023 by BloodyChamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 5 minutes ago, Hail Sabin said: FSU made it the 1st year & played Oregon Winston vs. Mariota I'm thinking I read the wrong table (the table for the title game instead of the final four) Reading the right table.. 6 of the 8 ACC appearances were Clemson, 1 Florida State that you mentioned, and Notre Dame counts as ACC on that table. All the "ACC is dead because of today" talk forgets that Clemson is the only ACC team that has consistently had a place at the table under the CFP. Having 7-5 Kentucky beat 10-2 Louisville in Louisville probably doesn't help the perception of the ACC vs the SEC in football. Anyways, Texas joins OU and TCU in CFP berths from the Big 12 and Washington now makes up 2 of the 3 Pac 12 CFP berths. FSU is in a 'fun' spot where either they beat Georgia and claim they were robbed, or they lose to Georgia and blame it on the committee anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AP can name them Nation Champions, I’m really hoping either of the 1 loss teams win the playoff and the AP voters rank FSU #1, then we have split National Champions like the good old days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I knew they wouldn’t leave out an SEC team so I expected UT to get screwed despite beating Alabama.
