The truth of the matter is that FSU only needs to look as far as the ACC Conference office to see who screwed them out of the playoffs this year.
The “Alliance” took care of that a couple of years ago. The major conferences were already in discussions to expand the playoffs beyond the current number of four. Then out of the blue, Texas and Oklahoma announced they were going to make application to join the SEC. I’m guessing the PAC 12, Big 12 and the ACC were butt hurt, that they were cut out of the action. As a result, the PAC 12, Big 12 and ACC formed the “Alliance.”
I’m not sure what the “Alliance” was going to accomplish other than resisting the SEC in future playoff negotiations. They were successful, the SEC was pushing for the playoffs to expand to 12 teams for the 2023 season and the “Alliance” won out. The playoffs expand to 12 teams in 2024, not 2023.
So, if FSU wants to blame someone for missing the playoffs look no further than the ACC office.
Wrong.
The major sin was the fact that the “committee” was fine letting previous school’s in, when THEY were using a backup quarterback, but suddenly it becomes an issue?
Bullchit.
Furthermore, FSU beat the 14 ranked team with their third stringer, and their second stringer is set to come back.
This was strictly a $$$ decision, and a
historical SEC bias driven result……historical, because THIS year, they weren’t all that!
Just for chits and giggles, just “switch” positions with FSU and Alabama.
Make Alabama undefeated, but down to third string quarterback, and they win against the 14 ranked team last game of the season.
And FSU is the one loss team, that needed a hail mary the previous week, and wins a close one against Georgia.
Who is the committee going to pick?
Exactly, because they are undefeated afterall….
FSU got fuqed, plain and simple.
