Sorry I didn’t mean to offend you brother.
FSU will certainly get an opportunity to show they are really that good. I thought they were last year for sure. But this year I’ve seen them somehow manage to squeak out a win each week.
Credit to them for doing that. It’s got to be very hard to win like that over and over. That’s the sign of a well coached team for sure. So I take back the “pathetic” comment. You can’t be pathetic and go undefeated in a major conference.
And yes point taken about giving up 58 points.
Baylor still has work to do, and should not have lost to West Virginia.
A one loss Baylor will never get in over a one loss brand name under a system like this.
It would have been fun to see them given the chance to prove it on the field.
At the end of the day this is what makes college football more popular than the NFL. All the bickering. Though over the years that has grown tiring and not nearly as much fun as when I was 19 or 20.
When you are busy running a law practice and home schooling kids it gets harder to justify watching so much football.
This is my first year with zero NFl and I’ll say I don’t miss it.
Jerry Jones and Sam the ram helped me make that decision.
God bless.

No offense taken, since you seem to have the correct outlook on the situation.

As a Texan, I think it would have been fun to have Baylor or TCU in there as well.

But I also want the right decision made since we don't have a legitimate playoff system.

But this year I’ve seen them [FSU] somehow manage to squeak out a win each week.

This isn't luck, it's consistency. They've made mistakes in games, but instead of those mistakes manifesting in a 1 loss, or 2 loss season, they've won every game. As defending National Champions, and the only undefeated, I think it's silly they put TCU ahead last week. You have to take into account that members of the team and coaching staff have experience on that stage, of actually winning a National Title.

Ohio State's 59-0 win over 10-2 Wisconsin was the final card. Once TCU and Baylor fans get over the initial disappointment, they'll realize that.

If either Baylor or TCU had won all of their games, they'd be in there. There was even talk of FSU being excluded, who is an established football power, 3 time and defending National Champion, and nation's only undefeated, so I don't think TCU and Baylor can make the case that they weren't treated fairly, or it was because they weren't established football powers. If Ohio State had won their conference championship game by 1 point, it's arguable Baylor would have been in there.
