Does FSU get left out if they were in SEC?

[goblue05]

No

 

[Jrgum3]

No because they would have had a better SOS. I know a lot of people think that the SEC doesn't play anybody OOC but going up against the other teams in the SEC and winning the SEC championship is what got Bama in. The ACC is weak in general so FSU didn't look as strong but again it is what it is and FSU got unfairly punished for not having Jordan Travis.

 

[stormtrooper8]

Of course not

The SEC seems to be immune despite being nothing special this year

The SEC is bad OOC

 

[Tanko]

If FSU was in SEC, they'd not have a perfect record.

Texas and OU are going to learn quick (just like A&M learned), their conf championship days are limited.

That's the thing about the SEC its tough to win on the road in the SEC. That's why the SEC teams schedule those cupcakes OOC. It's also why Bama has a better SOS than FSU. Sucks for FSU but the reality is if they played Bama then I think Bama would be favored. I kind of wish that there was a playin game for that 4th spot because this year there should've been since FSU does have a case.

Most likely true

But decisions shouldn’t be made off if predictive ability

Results have to matter

And to Florida State’s credit they beat the shit out of the third best SEC team

 

[KVB]

SEC has represented 1/3 of the AP top 15 for a couple of weeks.

Like jrgum says, it's a significant SOS rating.

[carolinakid]

for me i dont care who get in, just bet what we have on the table, as a gambler you have no fav teams, you bet numbers

 

[jjgold]

If this was next year, they would get in

 

[KVB]

Bama
Michigan -2 46

Texas -4.5 63.5
Wash

at DK.

BOL dealing -1.5 and -4

 

[jjgold]

Michigan will end up a pick

Play-in would be interesting

It is silly when you think about the fact that there are 5 power conferences for 4 spots. Ironically now gonna be fewer conferences with more spots

SEC was 7-9 vs power conferences. Historically it has been the best conference, but not sure this year it was. Florida State 2-0 vs SEC , including destroying the Heisman winner

 

[Wagerallsports]

Michigan will end up a pick

If Michigan gets past Bama they will likely curbstomp Texas or Washington

I hope the lines agree with you Wager if it happens. I'd kind of like +4 or +5 with Texas or Wash vs Mich.

Is that what the look ahead line is?

 

[homie1975]

michigan and washington are dead.

unless of course bama and or texas have keys guys hurt or suspended before 1/1

 

[Tanko]

Is that what the look ahead line is?

No... Just guessing but I'll generate some numbers just to see what it might be.

 

[Tanko]

Is that what the look ahead line is?

Based on some strength factors i would guess the lines would be something like this.

Mich -7 vs Wash
Mich -4.5 vs Texas

+/- 1 point.
I've not factored in this last weekends performance yet either so, they may change slightly.
