how so? Fact is two one loss teams were picked ahead of them.

An undefeated SEC champ isn't getting left out. Just like a one loss SEC champ isn't.

I agree with Kelly...

I agree with Kelly in that someone has to get left out. I think

Was it at the beginning of the year that Bama got outplayed by 6-5 Auburn?
HokiePokie95 • 12/06/23 12:13 PM ET
Has any ACC Coach gone on TV...
JRHokie • 12/06/23 02:55 PM ET
No, same week that FSU struggled to beat 5-6 FL and their backup QB
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 12:58 PM ET
Their pedigree earns them a free pass
crazylane • 12/06/23 12:45 PM ET
I would argue about the QB. Milroe has become a very good QB after
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 01:17 PM ET
He's gotten better
crazylane • 12/06/23 01:30 PM ET
I do agree with you that Milroe is not as good but the OP said not nearly
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 01:41 PM ET
Milroe also has a better, more experienced supporting cast
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 02:01 PM ET
Burton has become a very good receiver as has Bond. I was always
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 02:22 PM ET
you're tilting at windmills, it's an ESPN/SEC conspiracy, just accept it :)
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 01:25 PM ET
I hear ya man! Seriously though it can be good discussion
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 01:42 PM ET
The logo on his sweater says it all ...
MotorCityHokie80 • 12/06/23 12:04 PM ET
Of course he wouldn't.

That’s 4 words I’ll never use.**
marcbvtgm • 12/06/23 11:41 AM ET
What EVIDENCE is there that FSU is not a top 4 team.
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 11:29 AM ET
Yep. "Eye test" is crap. This CFP was an easy one to pick. The committee

UGA is going to show you in the Orange Bowl**
OldRetiredHokie • 12/06/23 11:45 AM ET
but that's going to include some (maybe a lot) of second stringers
RTFC • 12/06/23 03:29 PM ET
No. What matters is what you've done. Not what might or might not happen.
WholeLottaHokie • 12/06/23 12:56 PM ET
In theory, it could work against them
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 03:54 PM ET
If so it will because of poor QB play
crazylane • 12/06/23 12:50 PM ET
As we've heard from the SEC for many years, those non CFP type bowls
reestuart • 12/06/23 11:49 AM ET
Agree and it doesn't matter who wins that game(FSU winning would be ideal)
HokiePokie95 • 12/06/23 12:07 PM ET
Yeah, I don't think FSU can stay within a couple of scores, but that
reestuart • 12/06/23 12:31 PM ET
It apparently is also easy for you to write off the game if FSU loses.**
hokietony • 12/06/23 12:06 PM ET
Sure. And that doesn't change a thing.**
reestuart • 12/06/23 12:32 PM ET
Just stop keeping score of the games and pick the prettiest teams**

Hear! Hear!**
saret • 12/06/23 11:36 AM ET
Don't be so easily fooled... his argument has some clear bias in it...
jesuisvtguy • 12/06/23 10:55 AM ET
Imagine if LSU was left out at 13-0 because they lost their QB to injury.
XFactor11 • 12/06/23 10:41 AM ET
If an ACC 12-1 team went instead, 90% here would be defending the choice**
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 10:46 AM ET
Over a 13-0 Bama or Texas? Never happen
TOUGH TURKEY • 12/06/23 12:52 PM ET
the point is the silliness of the "if the roles were reversed" comment**
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 01:01 PM ET
how so? Fact is two one loss teams were picked ahead of them. ◄
reestuart • 12/06/23 01:19 PM ET
the post I responded to said imagine if 13-0 LSU was left out
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 01:22 PM ET
I doubt 90% would support that. No way to tell, but I'm not seeing it.**
reestuart • 12/06/23 01:31 PM ET
the response to my response provides some insight
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 01:49 PM ET
I think it's fair to say there's a bit of an anti-SEC bias here, but OTOH,
reestuart • 12/06/23 02:56 PM ET
Of course it was, they picked AL because they are the better team now
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 03:27 PM ET
right. Better ratings. That's the reason. I don't like FSU at all.
reestuart • 12/06/23 05:51 PM ET
Over an undefeated P5 conference champ? LOL.**
reestuart • 12/06/23 12:40 PM ET
Name one undefeated conference champ that a 1 loss ACC team would jump over
SunDevilHokie • 12/06/23 12:29 PM ET
since the original post was an undefeated SEC champ being left out...
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 12:49 PM ET
I doubt that.
gahokie • 12/06/23 11:12 AM ET
He's not biased at all. Larger payout for the SEC and every SEC bowl
goodbadugly • 12/06/23 10:23 AM ET
shocker. The LSU coach is supporting the SEC. **
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 10:21 AM ET
He's not wrong though ......
hokietony • 12/06/23 10:56 AM ET
A shell of the team they were? That's absurd. **
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 11:28 AM ET
Maybe a little harsh but IMHO, I wouldn't have picked them.
hokietony • 12/06/23 11:57 AM ET
a bit overdramatic, but not absurd by any means
