    good enough to beat the Canes and the Gators year after year and to take home an occasional national championship trophy.  As an alum, that works for me.

    As much as I like FSU, I'm not the least bit confident they can meet that objective. Would I like to be blown away in amazement that they could? Of course. But that's not realistic, they just fail the eye test.

    I'd hate to see one of the 4 playoff teams completely bomb out of a game.. it'd feel like a wasted playoff spot. And of the current top 4, I see FSU as the only team who could potentially do that. I pin that mostly on Winston's play, his lack of leadership, and bad body language throughout the year.


    Wow where to begin?  

    Winston has overcome more than any other college athlete that I can recall.  He continues to LEAD his team to victory after falling behind numerous times.  He has very limited weapons and as even been referred to as "one trick show" but yet he continues to find a way to win.  

    The playoffs are a bust because someone gets blown out?  Define blowout.  If Bama beat FSU by 13 is that a blow out?  Did FSU blow out Louisville?  Just because these are the 4 best teams, does not mean they are close to being equal.  Anything can happen in college football, but you know that since you're a CFB fan first.

    In the end, your confidence in a team should not determine if they DESERVE to be in the playoff.  You would leave an undefeated national championship out of a playoff?  IMO, even them losing a close game to GT should keep the defending Champs in the playoff but the media has destroyed that option.  The "eye test" is the most amazing thing the SEC ever made up.  What did your "eye test" tell you about Bama in the 1st half of the Auburn game?  Or Oregon in the Arizona game?  You probably think TCU is better than Baylor because the result of the game doesnt mean much to the "eye test."  Why even keep score?
