About the playoff (I still think FSU gets in but.....) -- (link) - ty97 Dec 6, 20:55 5
- The eye test tells me FSU doesn't deserve to be there. -- nm - Bacon Dec 6, 21:04 4
  - I don't think they are a great team, but they're undefeated record in the ACC earns them a spot. -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 21:09 2
    - plus defending Champs. crazy if they do not get in -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 04:42

  - *pokes you* - JenBro Dec 6, 21:06
Whether we get bumped up to 4 or not, 59 to nuthin' is a pretty good outcome. -- nm - TWuG Dec 6, 20:48 6
- It was a strong statement, just hard to overcome a no-loss team (which is the team in front of you) -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 20:56 3
  - No argument. -- nm - TWuG Dec 6, 21:05 2
    - FWIW, I have wanted an 8 team playoff since the start. - ty97 Dec 6, 21:10 1
      - I think it's fine. I do think the committee could fairly dumb FSU just based on quality of win tonight, but I won't be upset if they don't. - TWuG Dec 6, 21:16
- I don't remember a team losing two different quarterbacks in a season and not missing a beat - prayformojo Dec 6, 20:51 1

Frankly I'll be shocked if the top 4 teams coming into today aren't the ones in the playoff - prayformojo Dec 6, 20:33 14
- Someone is getting left out, will be furious and it's completely fair. Ohio state deserves it and can be furious. TCU deserves it too. Baylor too. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 6, 20:37 9
  - I said this below they put Ohio St in and leave TCU and Baylor out - eag Dec 6, 20:40 5
    - nah, TCU will get in -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 20:41 4
      - agreed. the committee would have to justify moving TCU down two slots -- nm - prayformojo Dec 6, 20:44 3
        
        If they put in OSU and leave out TCU/Baylor they don't have to talk about the head to head. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 6, 20:54 2
        
        OSU AND FSU are the only teams in the mix that went undefeated in there conference -- nm - eag Dec 6, 21:14 1
        
        If all conferences were equal that might mean something. -- nm - Bacon Dec 6, 21:19
  - ayup. and a fair number of people will be shocked that the playoff system didn't deliver the final four in a tidy package -- nm - prayformojo Dec 6, 20:39 2
    - But they'll be able to say that in the old system, it would only be Bama and Oregon and there wouldn't be any of this debate. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 6, 20:43 1
      - although, in this case, it would be really hard to argue against this at this points - prayformojo Dec 6, 20:45
- Well, this'll also fan the flames for expanded playoff to 8 if not more. -- nm - budice Dec 6, 20:36 3
  - I feel like they should have the latitude to include between 4-8 teams in whatever formation they feel is best. If there are only 6, then there are 6. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 6, 20:38 2
    - It needs to be four or eight for the playoffs to work. If you halve six you end up with an uneven amount of teams. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 21:35
    - I'm not a fan of the Oscar system. Set a number and let the chips falls as they may. -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 20:39
Dammit, Strongbad! -- nm - David Dec 6, 20:28 2

CM Punk to the UFC... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 6, 20:18 9
- On the topic of Punk, it's not been mentioned much that he did get that 434 day title run. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 20:28 4
  - His beef with that is he so rarely main evented despite being the champion. -- nm - Tim Dec 6, 20:29 3
    - I know he's got his beefs. The medical stuff is probably the most vicious. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 20:48 1
      - there was a sign at Raw: "can someone check my staph infection?" -- nm - Tim Dec 6, 20:55
    - yeah he wanted the final spot at WM. I think the match with Taker is a main event spot -- nm - Remlik Dec 6, 20:29
- Still weird. -- nm - Tim Dec 6, 20:23 1
  - a bit. but he's been training with the Gracies for a long time now. It'll sell PPV's for sure -- nm - Remlik Dec 6, 20:26
- That's very different than wrestling. -- nm - Mop Dec 6, 20:19 1
  - well, he does have some legit skills in jui jitsu . . . so he can probably do well -- nm - call me Ishmael, figurine collector at large Dec 6, 21:21
Ohio State did just about everything they could with a 3rd sting QB. It will suck if they don't get a playoff spot. -- nm - Mop Dec 6, 20:13 4
- Every team has injuries, it's the way the dice rolls. - ty97 Dec 6, 20:16 3
  - And they dominated. Shows what depth of talent they had. -- nm - Mop Dec 6, 20:18 2
    - They have an argument, but it is difficult to leave out an undefeated FSU team. - ty97 Dec 6, 20:20 1
      - "Ohio St sponsors discounted crab legs at Publix" -- nm - budice Dec 6, 20:28

  - Oregon ran your coach out of town. Don't be bitter -- nm - Bacon Dec 6, 20:26 1
    - It must be weird for RC - eag Dec 6, 20:37
Going for it on 4th down from there? -- nm - budice Dec 6, 19:55 1
- Down that far, you might as well. Not like tgeir punter has gotten it much deeper -- nm - TWuG Dec 6, 19:59
