They (FSU) will get their chance against Oregon.
We will find out if they have been playing down to the competition or if they really are just the best (although not by much) team in a very weak conference.
I was a little stunned yesterday when they (with their super awesome defense) could barely hold on against GA Tech by two points even when they knew they faced a one dimensional offense.
But hey they are undefeated.
My Baylor Bears can’t say that, although I think they are among the best.
And personally I think TCU deserves a shot too.
But six deserving teams and four spots just doesn’t add up.
If the Noles get smashed by the Ducks then I guess we will get an answer to the above question.
I would have loved to see Baylor get a chance to prove themselves on the field. Beating TCU, K-State, and OU (in Norman) just wasn’t enough in the end.
That said, I’d rather not make the playoff than get in (controversially) and get smashed. We will never know how it would have played out. I could see it going either way. You never know how the matchups will go and which teams decide not to show up.
So good luck to Ohio State and FSU. People will remember next year if the semifinals are over in the first half.
And if either team manages to win, big kudos to them.
Check out Baylor’s non-conference schedule, weak is too kind a word for it, toss in Kansas, Texas Tech and Iowa State, it’s like a bye almost every week...one dimensional offense...yeah, ok that’s cute, we both know that they utilize an option offense that has three possibilities on every play. FSU must have done a good enough job of containing it as they are in the playoffs and Baylor is not...Good luck in the Cotton Bowl, should not be a problem for a great team like Baylor, I mean, like, the Spartans are from the north for gosh sakes...
