Official 2023 College Football Thread: Michigan Recognized as National Champions of Cheating !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Washington wears gold pants we have near perfect Uniform Playoff.

And Michigan yellow pants.

When the teams playing have such distinctly different colors like this, I wish both teams could wear their home uni, much like USC-UCLA do when they play each other. Blue-Red and Orange-Purple would look incredible.
 
I believe that what pains me the most about this is my feeling that the Committee just provided the last killing blow in my mind to the College Football that I grew up with and believed was not quite dead yet. The belief that when the players suited up every Fall, that everybody had a chance to win, that anyone could be the National Champion with a few luck breaks and a great team. The Committee just crapped on that.

NIL and the transfer portal did the most damage over the last two years, but if they can treat an undefeated ACC Champion Florida State that way, then College Football is dead. No way the Demon Deacons, Tar Heels, Wolfpack, or Blue Devils will ever get the benefit of the doubt. The Committee just made it clear that the season does not matter, it's all about the best 4 teams (or 12 teams next year) and that is always predecided by the recruiting gurus who say your players are better than the others.

The Committee just provided the death blow to College Football in my mind --- and it has made me really sad.

The 4 playoff teams are either future SEC or B10 teams. Get used to this.

In before next year's playoff is 4 SEC, 4 B1G, Big 12 Champ, ACC Champ, G5 representative and we have this same argument over the 5th SEC/B1G or one of the Big 12/ACC conference runners up
 
Wonder if ACC people on committee didn’t fight as hard for FSU due to FSU shitting all over the conference preseason?

This is bullshit, but if it had to happen to an ACC team, only one I’d like to see more is UNC. And since that is not realistic given their football history, this one ends up being just fine.

FSU should decline OB bid, cause UGA might beat them by 40.
 
Hey Drama Queens - Enough of the death of college football and death of ACC hyperbole.

The four best teams were chosen and I would argue UGA should have been slotted at #5 (not that it matters).

This board would stroke out if an undefeated UNC lost Drake Maye yet still made the playoffs.
 
If it’s 4 best they should have just slotted UGA back in for Washington.

I also wonder if Alabama at 4 was simply to fuck cheating Michigan, definitely no advantage to being number 1 this year.

@WindyCityDeac when you’re on Angus’s side of an argument it’s time to reevaluate your perspective.

I don't believe this to be true. It was simply another excuse needed to weasle in an SEC team by the powers that be

I believe this. In fact, I think UT got in over FSU because the committee couldn't imagine not putting Alabama in, and knew they couldn't without UT getting in too. Which is OK with me. I hate FSU (though this will wildly increase their efforts to exit the ACC), and wanted UT in.

Go Horns!

It shouldn't be predictive. Should the NCAA tournament drop a 1 loss team multiple seeds if their star player got hurt in the conference tournament finals?

And if the board was biased against UNC then what does that show?

Factoring in injuries that don't result in losses is bad form. Say FSU was beating UL 45-0 and Jordan Travis had a season ending injury with 5 minutes left. Using this "best teams" argument could have them excluded.
 
The Committee got it right, in my view. Did anyone really want to watch Michigan beat FSU 40-7?
