Who's your pick for the Football National championship?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Got a kind of long winded question pertaining to the hand picked teams that will compete for a "cough, cough" national championship.

It was reported by ESPN that the number one reason why Florida State was not selected was due do its QB getting injured. Had he not been injured, they would have had a lot better chance to be one of the hand picked teams.

So lets say a Georgia, or Clemson, or any other P5 school who went undefeated during the season and owed 90% of those wins to their super human QB who (for sake of this argument) and had just won the Heisman but decides to opt out of post season play for the upcoming NFL draft. Would you think the committee for selecting the teams that will participate in the "cough, cough" national championship playoff would by pass them?

The reason for your super human QB not playing are for two different reasons, but the result is the same.

I just saying super human. All I'm trying to express here is the guy responsible for most of the wins for your season is not available to play. Why would the committee use this factor in deciding if the team is good enough to compete?

I believe it depends on the depth of the position. FSU was down to a poor 3rd string quarterback. Several years back Alabama had a better freshman quarterback than their Heisman winner. You have to be honest about the strength and weaknesses.

Don’t care. It’s a meaningless Natty for all/most of college football.

How is any Natty meaningless?

How is any Natty meaningless?

Many because their team did not win

OR

They did not like the team that did LOL

How is any Natty meaningless?

it is never meaningless. but if you pull for a team that simply will never be in a position to win one, it's easier on the fan-psyche to simply say NO team's fans ever "really" win one, that way you're not missing out on anything. that one can take that position and not see how transparent the rationalization is sorta blows my mind.

This is not a Natty. Never has been. It's an exclusive invitational.

The winner of the UGA/FSU game will have every right to claim a Natty as the winner of this invitational.

Indeed, the most meaningful National Championship in modern history was when Georgia beat TCU by 58 points and the entire nation finally learned that certain conferences simply don't belong in the conversation.

Didn't Michigan lose to TCU in the semifinal that year? So did the Big 10 not deserve to be there either?

That isn't how it works.

All sports is meaninless, but count me among those who enjoy the ride.

To equal and lesser degrees 14 other teams didn't deserve to be on the field with Georgia that season.

Super Bowl XXIV
FourtyNiners 55, Broncos 10

With that logic, the Broncos would have never gotten another chance to become 3-time Super Bowl Champs

I’m pulling for Washington to win it all. Underdog all the way!!!
