...or ANY year of the BCS era, for that matter. This year, we're all debating whether TCU, Ohio St, or Baylor is the fourth "best"/"most deserving" team in the country. (By the way, to our surprise, it seems as though ALL the pundits this morning agree with us that the Buckeyes are the winners here, and many of them also hold the same measure of contempt for the Big 12 for trying to jazz their OWN system to get the Frogs in.)
But if it's LAST YEAR? There are THREE deserving teams - Alabama, Oregon, Florida St - and TWO spots in the championship game. Who would YOU leave out?
The polls would say FSU.
The committee would apparently say FSU.
The computers all seem to say FSU.
The "eye test" certainly seems to say FSU gets left out.
Would YOU have the guts to leave out the defending national champions, the 13-0 ACC (Power 5) conference champs on a 29-game winning streak, OUT of the title game, or would you leave out one of the two (clearly superior, to be frank) other conference champions, Alabama or Oregon, out, thereby leaving open the very real probability that you just singlehandedly chose the champion in advance by which of them had the chance to defeat FSU?
Glad it's not 2013!
