FSU

[ucfjosh2000]

FSU had almost the exact same thing happen to them that we had happen to us in 2018. We were in the mix for a playoff spot that year and the Milton got injured and the selection committee had their excuse to leave us out. Now FSU gets left out after Travis goes down and they are talking about leaving the ACC and everything. It’ll be interesting to see how they play in the bowl game. UCF gave Joe Burrow led LSU a good run with Mack as QB. Will FSU put up a fight against Georgia?

 

[Shark19]

I’ve pointed this out on a number of sites and in private conversations. The fsu fans were completely oblivious to the fact that it is an invitational, not a true playoff with rules for entry…..it is about attractive TV matchups and that is all. That is why all the objective computer models from the BCS era were set aside….. because we would have been a top 4 team in 2018 and fsu this year. And fsu had NO backup QBs worth a crap.

As far as what they do against Georgia depends on opt outs…..Jared Verse opted out yesterday….not good for them.

I never heard news media or comittee use Milton's injury as a reason for keeping us out.

That's simply not true.

They just left us out bc of our schedule and conference we played in.

No. UCF was left out for the same reason FSU was left out: politics and money (in that order.)

 

[Poolside Knight]

they have become annoying w the conference entitlement

I hope the Big10 snubs them

 

[jtGoldenKnights]

It's an invitational they can basically do whatever they want. But the state wasn't sticking up for us in a legal battle which is pathetic I think all around. Hopefully when they go to 12 teams they have some criteria but I highly doubt it.

 

[jtGoldenKnights]

What a strange sport I enjoy. 1 year contracts, the fans pay the players, and a couple of presidents and tv high ups get to tell us who has the honor of playing in the playoff at the end.

 

[OtterKnight]

Fans have to pay the players; there's a new b12 gusher of TV money; but the ticket prices somehow have to go up every year.

No, you will never see objectivity brought back in, at least 5-6 conference champions are guaranteed before Dr Pepper puts on a dog and pony show so a 3 loss Alabama can still get in.

 

[Shark19]

There were plenty of mentions in the media about inside info that Milton’s injury gave them the excuse they wanted if they had needed it…..unfortunately, no one stood up for us……fuking arresco, I hope he ends up as Hitler’s roommate.

Jim Phillips handled it much better

I don't think they let us in even with a healthy Milton, but I think the outcry would've been much greater outside the UCF circle around the nation if Milton was healthy.

They have a ton of starters sitting out. Probably Georgia will as well. Who knows how games like this turn out.

Nope. Same baseless, subjective criteria will be used to determine who gets bye-weeks...still garbage.

Yeah, if it were up to me. The top 4 would be the Top 4 ranked Conference Champions. The 5th Conference champion is the 5 seed and gets a home game. and then 6-12 is seeded by ranking. That 5th seed would likely be a non-power school, it'd be fun to see some powerhouse have to go on the road to Tulane or Boise State or something.

I wouldn’t watch that…..99% of G5 stadiums are ghost towns…..and can you imagine the travel nightmare getting to some of these out of the way places (excepting places like NO)

Good Lord, we've been in a P5 conference for a couple of months and this is the attitude. Alright then. If you think G5 stadiums wouldn't be sold out for a playoff game, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Colonel Mortimer]

I forgot all P5 schools were located in bustling metropolis'. Like Norman, Oklahoma, Lubbock, Texas, Lincoln, Nebraska, Fayetteville, Arkansas, Auburn, Alabama, etc.

Nope. They kept us at arms-length in 2018. But, if Milton had year 3 (2019) we would very likely had been on a potential 39 game winning streak going into the bowls in 2019 (at least 38-1 even if we lost to LSU in the Fiesta Bowl for 2018). In 2019 we were 9-3, losing games by 1 point, 3 points and 3 points. If Milton were playing I'm chalking those up as wins, and assuming we would have won the AAC title again as well.

I have felt this way since 2005…..

 

[Colonel Mortimer]

You felt that G5 schools should not host playoff games in a 12-team playoff since 2005. 9 years before the 4-team playoff existed. Impressive.

Damn straight impressive homes….

 

[U C to the F]

Boise has a really nice stadium. Was very impressed with that place and their fans, they would show up and be very hard to play in the Boise cold too.

Really is depressing to think about the “what ifs” with KZ not getting hurt. I truly believe we beat LSU if he doesn’t get hurt.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

We didn’t deserve to be included the year he got hurt. We weren’t even sure if Mack could win games. Our defense wasn’t as good as FSUs. Offenses are similar.

The offense wasn’t as smooth either as 2017 where it felt like we rarely punted. KZ’s completion % went down in Heupel’s offense

and just like UCF in 2018, their bowl game is about to show everyone why they didn't deserve to be there.

Driving to tie the game with seconds left deep in LSU territory....get the hell out of here loser

the faucet doesn't turn on until 2025, we are partial revenue members until then

 

[OtterKnight]

Even so, we still got a raise from what we got in the AAC even now.

 

[ucfjosh2000]

Did ACC miss out on a huge cash bonus by not getting a team in the playoff? Forget how that works.

 

[Central Floridave]

And, coincidentally, 2018 is when UCF beat Mike Norvell (current FSU coach) Memphis Tigers not once, but twice in that season.

you mean losing to the 5th best team in the SEC?

You mean the team that won every game next season and a national championship?

No room since the NCAA already recognized OUR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Unlike your squad of pathetic losers.....LOL

And UGA will show you soon why Free Shoez U didn't deserve to be there.
