The rationale there’s a School Soccer Playoff committee, and now not a CFP pc, is the BCS left fanatics chilly, and all of us love blaming computer systems once they fail to notice issues which can be so glaring to people. This 12 months, extra so than others prior to now, can be reduce and dry will have to the highest 4 cling serve this weekend. Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Florida State can be undefeated Energy 5 convention champions, and that resumé deserves a bid each time.
On the other hand, being people, we will have to cope with the Tate Rodemaker within the room. Direct Chop chants at me till you’re garnet within the face, however there are a number of faculties with higher probabilities than FSU’s backup-turned-Cardale Jones. Let’s say another eventualities come to fruition — any of a one-loss Washington, one-loss Georgia, one-loss Alabama, one-loss Texas or perhaps a one-loss Ohio State gifts higher game.
The ACC is lovely dangerous this 12 months, as evidenced by way of Jeff Brohm profitable 10 video games at Louisville with no quarterback. The Seminoles’ easiest win used to be towards an LSU group that hasn’t performed protection all 12 months, and, I will be able to’t emphasize this subsequent level sufficient, Jordan Travis isn’t enjoying.
Had Dabo Swinney idea to hold a competent kicker, this might be a moot level. But right here we’re, speaking about how the backdoor to the playoff isn’t open.
It will have to be.
Not anything towards Mike Norvell, Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson, that working sport, or height 15 protection. Florida State going into the ACC championship with out its superstar QB and nonetheless being the having a bet favourite speaks to the stability of this group. On the similar time, you’ll be able to’t make an function argument with out discussing Rodemaker.
I believed people have been accountable for this very state of affairs?
Is it unfair and vicious? Sure. Wouldn’t it spark a lawsuit? Completely. However am I flawed?
You’re now not flawed, Walter, you’re simply an asshole.
Any end result that ends up in a one-loss top-eight group now not named Florida State getting unnoticed of the CFP is more or less ridiculous, to be fair. And I hate Texas. Whilst the Longhorns aren’t significantly better than Seminoles, Quinn Ewers is taking snaps.
Kindly (or rudely) inform me to get f*cked, FSU fanatics, as a result of the most productive golf equipment from Tallahassee normally can play with somebody. I don’t assume that is a kind of circumstances despite the fact that. Taking into account the type of highlights that Coleman and Wilson placed on tape, you’d assume they might’ve been extra productive this season. I roughly really feel the similar means about Trey Benson, Lawrence Toafili, and the dashing assault. There’s now not a talent participant at the roster with over 1,000 yards of the rest.
You realize why? As a result of nice quarterbacks flip proficient rosters into identify contenders.
Existence or loss of life, who do you believe extra: Kyle McCord or Rodemaker? The one fanatics who would take Rodemaker live in Ohio. Buckeye ire and entitlement apart, there’s merely now not sufficient tape on Rodemaker to mention somehow. No less than we all know McCord will stay it aggressive.
An unknown backup can paintings as a changeup for a sport or two (thus the Cardale Jones reference previous), so it’s conceivable a can-do angle may well be sufficient to make a run, but the Florida efficiency didn’t actually trace at an untapped merit. The ones City Meyer OSU groups additionally have been frightening excellent, and I’m now not positive this iteration of the Seminoles is on that stage.
Having stated all of this, I’m being as nearsighted because the committee. The human component is strictly why Florida State will make the CFP with a win Saturday night time. No member would actively invite on-line scorn and harassment. The groups at the out of doors taking a look in know their destiny is in anyone else’s arms, as a result of we all know who desires to stay their arms blank.
When you assume I’m stirring the pot as a result of there’s so little drama this season, you’re handiest partly right kind. I, too, am prepping for playoff enlargement, as a result of this type of inane common sense is strictly what awaits all folks — committee participants integrated — in 2024 and past.
