First-n-10 3rd String

This is a true statement even years ago.

We all knew this. The Playoffs is a farce and has been since its inception. The last thing it seems the NCAA wants is competition. Here's the best solution. Eliminate P4 and G5 designations. If you win your conference, you're in the playoffs, seeded by strength of scheudule, nothing else. Also cap NIL. Then all the talent spreads out over all the conferences and we'll have parity and competition.

Statement from FSU AD

Adam_Pontipee

12/3/23 10:52am

It's only damaged today because FSU didn't get what they wanted....

WJCougar

12/3/23 10:53am

He's right. Their QB went down but they still won games because of their Defense

jrifkin48

12/3/23 11:46am

And FSU has been just fine with that....until today.

WJCougar

12/3/23 11:49am

That’s the very purpose of a committee.

^This - the criteria has always been rediculas

ABCoug

Dang that's pretty scathing

Kajdin

12/3/23 10:53am

Did he issue the same statement supporting ucf a few years ago. Or what about

cougarfann888

12/3/23 10:53am

He said P5…this isn’t hard

ordinary tri guy

12/3/23 10:55am

Ok and someone else said sec. It's the exact same argument

cougarfann888

12/3/23 10:57am

Sec>acc> non p5 that's not hard to understand either

cougarfann888

12/3/23 10:57am

Probably true, but that's subjective.

Loyal2Royal

12/3/23 11:26am

Agree but there is irony of a blue blood making this argument now.

cougarfann888

12/3/23 11:33am

I have no sympathy for FSU, but it doesn't bode well for BYU.

We are going to a 12 team playoff next year

Hutch65

12/3/23 1:18pm

But what if we're 12-1 or 11-2 with a CCG loss, does that mean we'll get left out for a 9-3 SEC team?

krindorr

12/3/23 1:29pm

I would probably expect to be left out

Hutch65

12/3/23 1:30pm

no it’s not. there’s hundreds of games that decide it. G5 is closer to FCS than P5. Michigan had just as easy a schedule

FieroCoug

12/3/23 4:29pm

That shows you don't know what you are talking about. I almost guarentee

cougarfann888

12/3/23 5:05pm

G5 used to be closer but not anymore. in the strength ratings that include fcs teams, fcs teams make it higher up in the

FieroCoug

12/3/23 5:12pm

in sagarin there are 18 FCS schools in the top 130. in fact the highest fcs is higher than the highest G5.

FieroCoug

12/3/23 5:15pm

And Sagarin rankings suck. They are entirely point-based

Except the acc was a weak p5 this year. As was the pac. But uw beat a strong uo

BYU '80

12/3/23 2:37pm

There were only two conferences with winning OOC records vs other P5s. And those were the ACC and the PAC

krindorr

12/3/23 2:52pm

And that is a worthless stat. What were the matchups?

BYU '80

12/3/23 2:57pm

Frankly, if you're looking for good OOC wins, there's really only 3

krindorr

12/3/23 3:05pm

According to Sagarin, he actually has the PAC as the STRONGEST conference

krindorr

12/3/23 3:08pm

Umm. No. That PAC narrative does not reflect the reality of this season. All of

BYUDM93

12/3/23 8:27pm

Signed Cincinnati. Also signed all of the G5s who have won a ny6 over a p5

BYU '80

RE: Sec>acc> non p5 that's not hard to understand either

12/3/23 3:42pm

FSU unfortunately isnt P2 though, which is more important than P5

ABCoug

12/3/23 1:49pm

Agree 100%

12/3/23 10:53am

I agree 100% with everything he said.

Duke Silver

12/3/23 10:53am

I’ve never really liked them, but they’ve been hosed.

12/3/23 10:54am

Good write up and I agree FSU was robbed.

ADK

12/3/23 10:54am

They were never going to leave out the sec. FSU isn’t the same without the qb

BYU '80

12/3/23 2:38pm

fsu still beat a top 15 team by 10, in bad weather, with a 3rd string freshman QB. FSU is a dang good team. not just QB

FieroCoug

12/3/23 4:30pm

Unfortunately for them the sample size was too small with backup QB

ABCoug

12/3/23 5:09pm

So true and so frustrating. Why even play a regular season?

ordinary tri guy

12/3/23 10:55am

Wouldn’t it be funny if they found a judge willing to issue an injunction and

blueaussie

12/3/23 10:55am

Maybe they could organize a rally and storm the stadium

ryebrye

12/3/23 11:26am

He's not wrong

Born2Fish

12/3/23 10:55am

Hard to disagree with that

CPAcoug87

12/3/23 10:55am

Well they are, but that’s impossible to do with unbalanced schedules

PHXSUNS31

12/3/23 10:57am

He’s right, but we already knew college football was broken..the fix is coming

PHXSUNS31

12/3/23 10:55am

FSU is playing Georgia…beat them and they can have an argument.

12/3/23 10:57am

Yeah, except Georgia is better than Alabama

krindorr

12/3/23 1:06pm

Because 24 is better than 27?

Florwood

12/3/23 1:44pm

I was under the impression we were ignoring H2H and on-field play and just going with what we think

krindorr

12/3/23 3:11pm

I love this. Great to see a blue blood reap and feel their own medicine used

12/3/23 10:57am

EXACTLY!

Idacoug

12/3/23 3:52pm

It's a travesty that an undefeated team is locked out from being able to compete

cougarfan84

I don’t have a lot of sympathy. The ACC helped build the system, then their

I love watching blue bloods become victim to their own monster.

These people fed the monster. Can't complain when it eats 'em.

12/3/23 11:52am

They have every right to be very, very upset. And they know a bit now what

Mitty

12/3/23 12:09pm

Cry me a river. None of these complaints by blue blood schools engender any sympathy at all. They created this

12/3/23 12:14pm

I’m just frustrated it isn’t the SEC on the outside looking in.

davidmj10

12/3/23 12:15pm

Yeah could have gone with FSU over Bama But the ACC did oppose the 12 team CFP

12/3/23 12:18pm

I didn’t know that. So it is just karma for them.

davidmj10

12/3/23 12:22pm

I actually agree with much of that. Problem is there are four spots.

12/3/23 12:40pm

They have spent decades trying to keep teams out, now they know how it feels.

Cry me a river…you reap what you sow.

12/3/23 1:32pm

Next year’s playoff fixes all that.

My unpopular opinion

12/3/23 2:25pm

Unforgivable is a bit over the top. An acknowledgment of the difficulty

BYU '80

an undefeated team left out is very questionable.

Well argued. As a spectator, I'd still rather watch the 4 that made the playoff.

Forzaitalia

12/3/23 3:02pm

Playoff of 2 SEC teams and 2 B1G teams.

12/3/23 3:47pm

Boo hoo. You made your own bed. Lie in it.

Idacoug

12/3/23 3:50pm

FSU helped build the current stupid system, and now they are victims of it.

12/3/23 5:17pm

Where were they during the BCS years?

Robert Baratheon

12/3/23 8:11pm

Doesnt persuade me. Everyone in the playoff beat a playoff worthy team. FSU

cougsareforreal

12/4/23 6:36am

FSU played two ranked teams, same as Michigan

krindorr

12/4/23 6:49am

You’re right, I spaced on LSU. Every team in the playoff has a win
