Boston College is in the ACC. Their other OOC was Florida. So two SEC teams.

Agree that FSU would struggle against any of the CFP teams (& a majority of NY6 teams).
BUT I don’t think the ‘99 VT team is a good comparison. That was a good football team that beat themselves against FSU. I think the current FSU is comparable to 2013 Louisville.
Funny thing is the Georgia/FSU game is going to be a bust since none of them care. A bunch of players are sitting out and the ones that play will be inexperienced and/or checked out on the year.
When FSU losses everyone will go "See, they didn't deserve a playoff spot"

Well, they kinda didn’t if they decide not to play against what used to be the #1 team in the nation. If you believe you deserved to go, make a case for it on the field.

LSU says hold my loss.
Nothing to play for. Making the case or not it won't do them any good.Well, they kinda didn’t if they decide not to play against what used to be the #1 team in the nation. If you believe you deserved to go, make a case for it on the field.
Not what I would do, just trying to think of today's collegiate athlete
Pride. A win. I never once went into any game with the mindset that there was nothing to play for, and I played a shitload of meaningless Sunday Summer League games.

They are going pro. Don't want to get hurt like Jaylon Smith.
If they were playing for a nattie think a majority of them would've stayed?

I think Georgia should have been in. Can't decide if I would have left out the Horns or Huskies.

Of course. I haven't heard any of the final four players opting out.
Alabama can get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they are NOT in a weak conference. Florida State cannot get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they ARE in a weak conference.
Even Texas State beat Southern Miss 50-36. When you're in a conference with Wake Forest, Virginia, Pitt, and Syracuse, you can't schedule Southern Miss and North Alabama.

Weak conference compared to the SEC... But not a weak conference.
ACC was just as strong as the big 12, if not stronger. ACC also led the head to head against sec this year. Not saying they were stronger than the SEC, but they competed. SEC is just very top heavy

Bunch of opinions being thrown around and sadly that's been (and always will be) the problem with FBS CFB.
Polls are opinion based; Who gets exposure (ex Colorado) or on TV is opinion based.
Even in the FCS, opinions determine the playoff field when not an automatic bid; teams determined by a selection committee (look at 8-2 UIW being left out).
Until the on-field objectivity is the above all determining factor, then CFB is just going to be subject to brand recognition, ratings and enable the same 4-7 teams year in year out.

Malik Murphy UTs back up that came in when Ewers was injured has entered the portal and opting out.
That’s contradicting yourself. If acc is week and sec isn’t, how is scheduling 2 sec teams a weak OOC? Southern miss is also typically a lot better than they were this year. Also a regional rivalry for FSU, they used to play regularly when they were both independents. That’s like saying none of the “P5” Texas teams should ever schedule us….
