Booger McFarland thank you for being so real! That's why you play the game! One person doesn't make a team! Just admit it they didn't want FSU in regardless if Jordan was hurt or not. It's just an excuse. Shame on them! An undefeated team should be in regardless. Now if they have the same records then make that decision period! They earned the right on the field. How about defenses win championships! Thank you again Booger Macfarland.
If the shoe was on the other foot. Meaning Alabama was in FSU's position and FSU was in Alabama's. I think we can agree they would have never done this to Alabama what they did to FSU. I think NCAA has been bought and is a SEC company. They are not objective in their decision making.
@@joshbeard9809 Do I agree? No. It is your opinion, perhaps anti-SEC or anti-Alabama bias. We have no definitive idea what the committee would have done.
@@sarahmccoy1941 We do know. They of course went with Bama over an undefeated team because Greg Sankey of the SEC said on Saturday this event cannot happen without an SEC team. He has too much power and influence on NCAA and the committee. They never would do to Alabama or any top team in the SEC what they did to FSU. We have over 15 years of BCS and 4 team playoff data that shows this bias and preferential treatment.
@@BAKER22-l4u You're the one living in fantasy land! Let me know when you wake up! Those young men deserve the right to play in the CFP period! It has never happened before where a power 5 undefeated team has been left out! That is real and the facts.
Thanks Booger. The last few days have been rough and has opened my eyes to groups of people but through it all we have seen signs of hope and belief that not all pundents are corrupt and there are people out there that through no affiliation chose to fight for what's right and against severe injustice. God Bless! Go Noles! >>--;;;--;;;->
@@HaughtKarl-jx9vr well, the BCS would have only picked the top two teams to play for the national championship, and if you used BCS criteria for this year, FSU wouldn't have been in the top two.
@@Troubleshooter-2.0 zero sense has been made from your answer, why would Booger be fighting for a return to the BCS or the current format when it does Nil for his alma mater
This is not about having "Florida State back", this is about right and wrong in college football. Booger has been keepin it real for as long as I can remember.
I honestly thought when looking up his bio I was going to see that he played for FSU but was surprised it was LSU. If LSU had gone undefeated and not gotten in Booger would’ve…… hell I don’t even know what he would’ve done to be honest.
McFarland is on point. Every single critic who thinks they know the game alway say “I’m just relaying information to you from the higher ups” …. The difference is people like MacFarland had to earn their stripes by playing the game. These kids from Florida State played their asses off and won on the field, in the trenches, overcoming injuries, and beating 2 SEC teams! 13-0 means A LOT to Florida State and it’s completely disrespectful and out right criminal for what the CFB bureaucracy did to them!!!
This is the second time a Florida school has gone undefeated and been screwed by the committee. How quickly people forget UCF, who people said was not good enough, yet they went on to beat a very good Auburn team in their Bowl Game. I guess leaving it up to the players on the field means less money in the pockets of the morons on the committee.
Massive fan base? So does Ala. Also, FSU QB situation is a total mess. Did not play well on back end and JT went down. Alabama is the better team as of end of season when it counts and earned its spot. FSU just not there yet and plays in a WEAK conference. Gotta get out the ACC Seminoles!
@@themayor3263 ACC 6-4 vs SEC. Seems weak........Auburn gets blown out by group of five team then had Bama beat if not for a miracle. Seems so strong.......
@@themayor3263 Wait a better team who beat a 4-8 USF and 2 weeks ago had 2 4th downs to beat a 6-6 AUB who just the week before got blasted by New Mexico State.... Those are really rose glasses huh
@@themayor3263 I don't think anyone was saying Bama doesn't have a huge fanbase. I think his point is that FSU has a huge fanbase, but it often gets overlooked.
Booga is a person from Tuscaloosa that has a hatred so strong for Alabama that its an illness. Its sad but he would found any reason to keep Bama out. Watching that ACC championship was Watching paint dry.
When anyone in the sports media even discusses "best" being more important the deserving. They don't deserve their listeners. They are literally saying, earning something is inferior to stealing it. You stole the opportunity from one team and gave it to another. Dan Patrick just said thats okay. Thank you Booger for being real. Never change.
He needs to stop crying.. Bama DESERVES AND EARNED the right to be in the playoffs by beating Georgia in the SEC Championship. He just hates Bama! Geaux home!
@@Snakebit-aiwhile Bama had a great win against GA they did not deserve. Winners don’t lose a game. The sec should not have got in this year. No one in the SEC was undefeated and they were 7-9 against the ACC. It should have been FSU number three and boiled down to texas vs Alabama at four. Texas gets in because they kicked your ass at home
@@jmoney1708 Show me in the guidelines the committee used where you HAVE to be undefeated? Look up Strength of Schedule - fsu's opponents were 67-76 (a losing record). I'm pretty sure Bama would be 13-0 with their schedule along with a lot of other teams. as far as conf vs conf - we get accused of playing cupcakes and I've always defended the acc. Roll Tide!!
@@USHighway66 Combined opponent wins Alabama 98 FSU 87. Considering SEC is losing to ACC head to head this year. This makes it mathematically impossible to achieve ranks of 5 and 55 without human opinion metrics being included. Do some research. its very easy.
Booger hit the nail on the head here. Every point. The results on the field HAVE TO MATTER! It's ridiculous to subjectively exclude them based on what you THINK.
There are upsets every week in college football. To say a team can't win a game prior to it being played is foolish. Every sports commentator out there saying FSU didn't stand a chance needs to find a new profession. It's embarrassing to listen to. At the end of the day a team that goes undefeated has the upper hand over a team with a loss. Shame on everyone trying to justify the committee's decision. Games are won on the field!!
Booger is one of the only pundits speaking the truth about the injustice we just witnessed. This goes beyond FSU players and fans. And if anyone thinks their team is safe, boy do they have another thing coming. If this injustice isn’t righted, it will continue to haunt college football. I admire Booger and others who aren’t letting this be swept under the rug. That’s true leadership.
OU wasn't safe. They were left out of the New Year's Six. And they beat one of the top four finalists. Something Penn State, Missouri, & Mississippi didn't do.
You nailed it. I was screaming a few weeks ago about ESPN and the committee being the same thing. I knew what they were going to do, just didn't want to believe it. Hopefully now, the system can come crumbling down. I wonder how many of Alabama's championships were rigged? I mean, Alabama if they win, only got in because a network rigged it for them. Fake championship if so. Oh and of course, there is a team that was actually caught cheating in the "playoff" lol. Nothing about this is legitimate.
Booger you have earned my respect. I think you are correct, and your reasoning exceeds the reasoning of those who cannot see and agree with what you are saying. I have no dog in this fight. In fact, I grew up hating Florida State, but they truly deserve to be in the playoff. Great point on the TCU selection last year. I’m thankful to see that Booger is not just parroting the ESPN company line here, and speaking what he actually feels is right.
Why do we like sports? Because it’s objective and final and decided on the field without spin, harsh as it may be sometimes. Completely disagree with Dan here, it’s not about money…it’s about a flawed sport.
Stop it. All things ain't equal. FSU was 55th in SOS. Alabama was 5th. FSU got to play Louisville, Georgia had to face the best program in modern history Alabama. Miss me with that objective nonsense.
@steveandersen996 The great thing is we shouldn't have to debate it. It shouldnt be Alabama or Florida State or Texas. We could just settle it on the field instead of in a committee room
@@steveandersen996 what FSU did their schedule was harder than what Alabama did with theirs. That's what SOR is and FSU is 3rd. Performance has to be rewarded.
@@steveandersen996I doubt Bama or Georgia could beat FSU in a playoff. Auburn manhandled Bama who was manhandled by NM ST. auburn had 62 yards rushing vs a g5 team then 250 against Bama. The fact Georgia couldn't run on them showed they weren't truly the best team in the country. Oh and SOS is a joke
Booger is the only person on ESPN that’s not a puppet. Thank you so much for standing up for what’s right and fair. I appreciate you and so does every Seminole fan
@@maxbunting7492 pretty sure OP is referring to Dan. He knows that the committee’s sudden shift in criteria is ratings-based and devalues the true integrity of the sport, but he keeps insisting that he “lives in reality” and knows what the committee cares about, and therefore he agrees that they made the right decision. Booger is showing a sense of integrity by acknowledging that the committee’s goal of maximizing ratings and controversy is morally incorrect. He knows it’s a reality, but he stands up to it and argues that it’s a morally deprived reality.
So Dan is just admitting he lacks integrity and agrees with the Committee’s slanted, morally deprived view of the playoff and the sport as a whole. Got it!
Its sad you know this and never explained it to these STUDENTS who's lives could potentially be on the line in a physical game.... Shame on You then Dan. Its sad to have so many people we've looked up to show what kind of people they truly are.
I am with my man Booger…Florida State took care of theirs business with 0 (zero) loss…they are IN. Now…Alabama was ranked 8 before the game against Georgia. Florida State was ranked better than Alabama. Georgia lost against a ranked 8…naturally Georgia is out of the 4. Michigan moves to 1, Washington to 2, Texas to 3, Florida State 4. This would make the whole lot of sense. Also…the committee are not using theirs heads but theirs emotions…they wanted Alabama to get in and theirs excuses are Alabama beat Georgia number 1 team…Florida State played their third string Qb and they didn’t perform well. Duh…a third string Qb and won the game…that should be a PLUS for Florida State to get in. These people who were part of the committee should be BANNED from involving with College Football period. If I have the power I would ask the FBI to investigate if there weren’t any favoritism or Bribed to these committees people. That would make sure that the next committee don’t corrupt the game
I’m tired of these idiots trying to sound righteous in this situation even though they’re dead wrong. If you agree with the 4 teams that’s picked then how tf do you feel bad for FSU? You cant genuinely feel bad for someone or something if you feel they weren’t done wrong or slighted in a way. I appreciate booger for standing for the truth though.
We're all adults and we all know life isn't fair. However, that doesn't mean when you have the ability to make it more fair that you should ignore it..
@@drm2364Must be nice to be clairvoyant. If FSU couldn't score points, then how the hell did they win their 3 games without Travis? Oh yeah, by scoring and stopping the other team from scoring more. You know, like a football game.
While I disagree with Dan at least he’s honest about what’s behind it, but damn, you can see how sad that made Booger. Cause he knows the sacrifice the players make and how they put their bodies on the line with the unspoken promise that it actually matters whether they win or lose. The CFP committee showed us that the games don’t matter and neither do the players & coaches.
It’s about Greed and that’s why Alabama is in the playoffs!! More money and nobody cares that FSU put in hard work and dedication, went 13-0 and were told your hard work was not enough because we can make more money with Alabama in!!
Anyone who defends the committee loses me as a viewer forever... You are not to be trusted and you are not to be watched and and you are not to be rewarded with views or clicks... Thank you Booger... Kick rocks Dan...
@markstepanekii388 gotcha. Well silly people have always shy away from different opinions than their own. Probably why we have so much hate floating around
DP said it out loud: it's a television show. So much for merit when it comes to the margins; it's about being the "bigger name/blue blood." FSU could have been in in place of either Texas or Bama, but the committee chose to fill the 3 and 4 slots with the two programs they think will get the higher ratings and make the most money. Unless changes are made, the same approach will be used when the playoff expands next year, squeezing in a third or fourth team from the B1G and/or the SEC at the expense of a deserving second team from someplace like the Big XXII or ACC. The "power conferences" did it to the "mid-majors" in the basketball tournament, and now they are doing it even amongst themselves in football. To paraphrase Orwell, "all power conferences/programs are equal, some are more equal than others."
this is the difference between an actual athlete that played the game and knows what it takes to compete at the highest levels, and a soft old guy that has sat behind a desk his entire career talking about those athletes and the games. DP just exposed himself as nothing but a corporate lackey.
Booger I didn’t know who you were until a few days ago, but by gosh you’re my hero. And be clear it’s not only that I’m a NOLE and you’re making the points we’re dying to hear, it’s because your defending the heart and soul of what these games are about. Every little kid with athletic dreams is depending on people like you to keep sports honest and focused on the game instead of profits. For those who think this will stop at college sports, just look how crazy we’ve gotten with data and media coverage over high school kids the last ten years. If college football is now the NFL minors, It’s not a far stretch to imagine high school sports becoming national entertainment as we seek to replace what was great about CFB. How long them before we start making the same mistakes. Child actors can make millions, why wouldn’t you assume the same argument will one day be made for high school athletes? It’s sad and insane.
"The SEC is a tough conference because it has Alabama, Georgia, and LSU, and those teams are great teams because they are in the SEC." 😂😂 SEC had a losing out of conference record and a 4-6 record against the ACC.
So what actually matters here is this: will FSU beat UGA? If the answer is no, then FSU should be ranked 6th at best and the rest of this is a lot of tears.
And still the truth remains that FSU has always been too scared to go to the SEC explain how come in 1992 you were offered to come to the SEC in your own head coach admitted the SEC is too tough for us to go in there and try to compete for a national championship instead you went to that p**** ass ACC conference to whip up on some cupcakes the truth is you're not going to beat Alabama the truth is you wouldn't beat Georgia you might beat a down year LSU or you might beat a sorry-ass Florida team that hasn't been that good in years but the truth is you will never be able to beat Alabama as long as Nick Saban is the coach and you will never be able to beat a fully healthy fully stopped Georgia team as long as they have Kirby smart as their head coach that's just the truth and since y'all want to leave the ACC this is your chance to prove it join the SEC and prove how good you are next season but no that's not what Florida State's going to do what Florida state is going to do is run to the Big Ten or run to the Big 12 because they know at the end of the day they will get out recruited in the SEC and they will not win anything in the SEC
The majority of talking points from the sports media is SEC is the best and always will be the best conference we can’t leave them out, and TCU got blown out so because FSU qb was injured we can’t allow them in cause it “might” be another blow out. If that’s the case don’t bother playing and just give bama and Georgia the title game beginning of the season because a lose doesn’t hurt either one threw out the season and they will always have at least one in the playoff. Teams won’t have to schedule hard teams and can just get their bowl games because the committee will always pick SEC over others. SEC lives off bama and Georgia name to justify they are just this powerhouse conference. Are they good of course but other conferences can and do beat SEC teams even those powerhouse teams.
So it's not about "right" or the sport, it's about "show". Dangerous road for sure, because eventually people will stop taking it seriously. Not now, not next year, but in ten years it'll just be a joke. Hope they earn enough money now to last them forever because in 10 years people will stop tuning in, OR it'll just be like the WWE. At least Dan had the balls to be a prick in public. That's a step up from "the committee". Thanks, Booger, for having integrity and the courage to speak the truth at the possible expense of your job. VERY few people do that anymore.
I do believe Florida State and the ACC should jointly file a lawsuit, they've got a good case. and the ACC was 4-1 against the SEC this year, that's a stone cold fact.
Football is a team sport. It's not tennis. If the only thing that mattered when it came to winning was the QB then why does Nick Foles have a Super Bowl ring and Dan Marino doesn't? FSUs team earned and deserved a spot in the playoffs. Booger is right and it's crazy how many other talking heads are wrong on this.
It's disgusting to see this attitude by the sports journalists. Eh, it shouldn't be this way, but it is this way. They're exactly the reason it is this way. "I shouldn't be overweight, but I am." Then proceeds to shovel donuts in mouth.
Dan fence sits too often. There's really not a discussion here - FSU is undefeated, they earned the right to play in the CFB playoffs. The committee chickened out and didn't want to make a hard decision that would negatively impact the SEC or Big 12 so they penalized FSU, ACC.
The ACC beat the SEC 6-4 in head to head games this year. How is the SEC better than the ACC this year? SEC had a losing non conference record this year. Nobody is facing the fact that the SEC had a down year this year.
Dan Patrick is part of the problem. Always has been! But at least he is being honest and saying what we already know, "It's not about who is the best, it's about the $$"
In college sports you say it’s not always fair, but it’s money…. We’ll if it’s money than it’s business, and That’s what antitrust laws are for. “ to promote fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices in the marketplace.” Your agreeing that breaching those laws and colluding to do so is correct… I’d argue that it’s a criminal offense and additionally grounds for a multitude of lawsuits.
Dan -- why don't just say it and be truthful. The reason why FSU was left out because of money instead of finding a ridiculous reason of losing Jordan Travis!! Period.
Then why play a regular season at all if it is all a show in the end? What is sad is those kids at FSU busted their butts, even after losing their starter and back up, to win both their remaining games. They did everything they were supposed to do. Meanwhile, that Alabama team that got in, needed a miracle vs a TERRIBLE Auburn team just 2 weeks ago. This has ruined college football forever.
I'm still trying to understand why I, standing on the side of integrity, virtue, and justice, have to look at the other side of greed, corruption, and hubris.
Booger McFarland’s opinion is just that....his opinion. It carries no more weight than the opinion of many, many other newspaper and television sports reporters.
This is shameful. Noles defense can beat any other college teams. We have a great kicker and punter. Not their decision to decide if Noles will win or loose. They did not even give them a change to win or loose. They should have had that change. Favoritism or YOU CFB. You can’t base your bias opinion on a team loosing their quarter back. They were given NO CHANCE and that is criminal. Never done that way before and Hope they sue someone.
Again, if that is how it is done, by creating sexy matchups, why would TCU or Cincinnati ever make a playoff? This year was different because a threat of not including SEC. Call it what it is. You cant have a sexy playoff without a team from the largest fan base. It has made a mockery of CFB.
That's easy... because this year it would have left out the famous SEC, those other years the SEC wasn't at risk of not being in the top 4..... it's bad but it's just that simple.
Booger gets it. Wins matter. Losses matter too. They took what we thought was a playoff and turned it into the SEC Skating Invitational. No respect for those games now. I don't agree with Dan, but he gets it too. This is no longer football, and certainly not a championship tournament. It's simply selling TV ads.
Dan Patrick is so obviously uncomfortable knowing he’s wrong. All these people are realizing that their love of money is changing their character. Two sides to this world …. Iight and dark… truth and deception. We know where the people in control are
FSU has a top 10 traveling fan base. Even when they were terrible they still drew huge numbers on TV. Tate Rodemaker was going to be able to play in the playoff. Such nonsense to have all of these excuses to keep them out.
What in the world is Dan talking about? The Louisville game didn’t matter. They were going to do this anyway. Also, our 3rd string quarterback wasn’t going to play in the playoffs. And draw? If we are in the playoffs Noles fans would have bought up every single ticket and more. Just more nonsense. Hope ESPN doesn’t axe Booger…
How can a G5 school in New Mexico State manage to beat (SEC) team Auburn 31-10? How did Auburn manage to only lose to Alabama by 3 and Georgia by 7? To Booger McFarland point this is why the games have to be played on the field. To Dan Patrick point, he’s basically saying if FSU wants to compete with the big boys like Alabama & Georgia they’re going to have to join the SEC or Big 10 or get left behind. Corrupt politicians have ruined the game of college football we all love to watch. Sad but true…
Since the 1980's FSU has more National Championships then Michigan, Washington and Texas. They were once top 3 in 14 straight seasons so they have been top tier longer than most schools.
Nah playing Georgia proves nothing, If Georgia wins people will say FSU didn't belong anyways, If FSU wins people will say, Georgia was unmotivated and it doesn't count. FSU is lose/lose situation lol. The Orange bowl game is meaningless. I don't even think the starters for FSU will play because of their prospects to the NFL draft. The really should be canceled, I think thats the best decision for everybody, nobody want see this game, its meaningless
I remember when everyone picked Michigan over TCU last year and they went on to beat Michigan and earned a ticket to a Georgia beat down. So who is to say that Michigan wouldn’t have gotten that same beating. FSU got screwed bc college football is ultimately bought and paid for by the SEC and this years decision just proved that.
Dan Patrick just admitted he doesn’t understand the situation. The qb against Louisville was 3rd string. The 2nd string qb would be back by the playoff.
When you have to say "look better', you have a PROBLEM. It has become like Figure skating. When you remove objectivity and replace with subjectivity, this is what you get.
College football has always been about who “looks better”, human polls decided the champion from the start until the bcs and human polls were a part of that too. The playoff is the best system we have ever had.
Dan was doing a whole lot of double-speak there. First, he was not agreeing but just "explaining" the committee's thinking, but by the end he was clearly agreeing with the committee.
I can’t believe Booger has really looked very deep into his argument or he wouldn’t be making. Last year, TCU, with the same 11-2 record as Bama (who was ranked 5th), got in and Bama was left out. Why? Because TCU was "more deserving" as conf. champion. Well, we all saw what happened. TCU lost by 58. No way was the committee was going to let that happen again. FSU only played TWO teams, with less than four losses, and that was LSU in game one, and they ended up with three losses and Louisville. They also only played FOUR teams with winning records and only TWO teams in the top 20. On the other hand, Bama played FOUR top FIFTEEN teams with a total of seven losses between them and only three teams with losing records. The committee picked Bama , because they "deserved" to be in by playing one of the hardest schedules in the nation, while FSU played one of the easiest, and losing only to Texas by 10 points, early in the season. That would be the same Texas team that is ranked 3rd in the playoff.😢. My guess is Booger doesn’t know any of these facts, or he wouldn’t have the same opinion.
Who says Alabama is better.... You didn't hear ESPN talk a week straight propping up Bama like they did FSU ... What commentator was stating that had FSU Defense in the 4th quarter vs Louisville and Florida have a combined -55 yards or that FSU has combined QB completion percentage other teams below 50%. Jayden Daniels only put up 17 points before garbage time vs 2nd string
Dan's right, but Booger is even more right. Say what you want about money and sexy matchups, if we wanted sexy matchups college football should just start mandating teams to play each other in the regular season in non-conference play. They can't. So they meddle here. And who runs most of this stuff? ESPN. ESPN owns the rights for the SEC broadcasts next year. They're gonna do what they can to get an SEC team in there.
If FSU beat UL 55-6 or 40-6, this wouldn't be an issue. We found a way to win our games no matter whom our QB was. If our Defense wasn't evidence enough, then why is everyone always talking about UGA and Bama defenses are best in the land? If wins don't matter, then every game Bama and Texas won (including Texas over Bama) don't matter. This isn't about who could beat FSU right now, there aren't any CFP bowl games right now. There is no solid argument for why FSU was left out. The committee knows this. ESPN and all their fake, paid-for (Not Booger or Danny K) analysts know this. The sad excuse for a SEC commissioner knew this. Every single person involved was willing to be bought and/or paid the price with their credibility, which obviously no longer matters for this result. PERIOD. If I gave Boo a blank check and said name your price, and asked for the REAL TRUTH, he'd be spilling the beans. It's garbage and they know nothing will be done about it and that come bowl games, everyone will forget about what happened here.
Watching the game while out celebrating the SEC CG win I told people that FSU needed to win by about 20, say 30-10 to get in. They needed to win convincingly. The FSU passing stats flashed on the screen and drew a gasp at another bar. That was absurd for a championship caliber team. People who have not been paying attention did not realize how bad the situation was with the CFPO Committee trying to fit 5 teams into 4 spots.
People watch the college bowl games because the young players are playing their hearts out. No money involved. Its all about spirit and college loyalty and culture. Thst type of fun is intoxicating. When vegas gets involved it turns what was innocent into whats dirty about pro ball. Booger is 100% right.

This is not about having "Florida State back", this is about right and wrong in college football. Booger has been keepin it real for as long as I can remember.
I honestly thought when looking up his bio I was going to see that he played for FSU but was surprised it was LSU. If LSU had gone undefeated and not gotten in Booger would’ve…… hell I don’t even know what he would’ve done to be honest.
They fundementally changed the sport for money. The good of the sport is more important than how big the checks can get. Shameful
McFarland is on point. Every single critic who thinks they know the game alway say “I’m just relaying information to you from the higher ups” …. The difference is people like MacFarland had to earn their stripes by playing the game. These kids from Florida State played their asses off and won on the field, in the trenches, overcoming injuries, and beating 2 SEC teams! 13-0 means A LOT to Florida State and it’s completely disrespectful and out right criminal for what the CFB bureaucracy did to them!!!
This is the second time a Florida school has gone undefeated and been screwed by the committee. How quickly people forget UCF, who people said was not good enough, yet they went on to beat a very good Auburn team in their Bowl Game. I guess leaving it up to the players on the field means less money in the pockets of the morons on the committee.
Fsu has a massive fanbase and travels damn well, we were on ABC primetime nearly every game this season and did huge ratings every single time
Exactly !
Massive fan base? So does Ala. Also, FSU QB situation is a total mess. Did not play well on back end and JT went down. Alabama is the better team as of end of season when it counts and earned its spot. FSU just not there yet and plays in a WEAK conference. Gotta get out the ACC Seminoles!
@@themayor3263 ACC 6-4 vs SEC. Seems weak........Auburn gets blown out by group of five team then had Bama beat if not for a miracle. Seems so strong.......
@@themayor3263 Wait a better team who beat a 4-8 USF and 2 weeks ago had 2 4th downs to beat a 6-6 AUB who just the week before got blasted by New Mexico State.... Those are really rose glasses huh
@@themayor3263 I don't think anyone was saying Bama doesn't have a huge fanbase. I think his point is that FSU has a huge fanbase, but it often gets overlooked.
Booger is the only analyst with balls. He speaks truth.
Agree 💯
Surprised ESPN is allowing him and RG3 to speak out. Maybe controlled opposition of sorts. End of the day the company got what they wanted.
The truth according to the viewers who's only investment is a TV!
Exactly
Booga is a person from Tuscaloosa that has a hatred so strong for Alabama that its an illness. Its sad but he would found any reason to keep Bama out. Watching that ACC championship was Watching paint dry.
When anyone in the sports media even discusses "best" being more important the deserving. They don't deserve their listeners. They are literally saying, earning something is inferior to stealing it. You stole the opportunity from one team and gave it to another. Dan Patrick just said thats okay. Thank you Booger for being real. Never change.
He needs to stop crying.. Bama DESERVES AND EARNED the right to be in the playoffs by beating Georgia in the SEC Championship. He just hates Bama! Geaux home!
@@Snakebit-aiwhile Bama had a great win against GA they did not deserve. Winners don’t lose a game. The sec should not have got in this year. No one in the SEC was undefeated and they were 7-9 against the ACC. It should have been FSU number three and boiled down to texas vs Alabama at four. Texas gets in because they kicked your ass at home
@@jmoney1708Any decent team would be undefeated when your SOS is #55.
@@jmoney1708 Show me in the guidelines the committee used where you HAVE to be undefeated? Look up Strength of Schedule - fsu's opponents were 67-76 (a losing record). I'm pretty sure Bama would be 13-0 with their schedule along with a lot of other teams. as far as conf vs conf - we get accused of playing cupcakes and I've always defended the acc. Roll Tide!!
@@USHighway66 Combined opponent wins Alabama 98 FSU 87. Considering SEC is losing to ACC head to head this year. This makes it mathematically impossible to achieve ranks of 5 and 55 without human opinion metrics being included. Do some research. its very easy.
"Why do we play the games!" Mic drop right there.
"You play to win the game." Herman Edwards.
So SEC and specifically Bama can be selected at the end regardless.
Booger hit the nail on the head here. Every point. The results on the field HAVE TO MATTER! It's ridiculous to subjectively exclude them based on what you THINK.
There are upsets every week in college football. To say a team can't win a game prior to it being played is foolish. Every sports commentator out there saying FSU didn't stand a chance needs to find a new profession. It's embarrassing to listen to. At the end of the day a team that goes undefeated has the upper hand over a team with a loss. Shame on everyone trying to justify the committee's decision. Games are won on the field!!
RIP to college football. Dan just told us the cold hard truth and it's disgusting.
because Dan Patrick is apart of the problem!!
Dan's point, basically College football is turning into pro wrestling? WTF?
Dan Patrick is as diluted & in the pockets that keep his show alive! He is not looking at both sides…Booger gets it!!
So the bottom line it's no longer a sport? So did Dan just admit they have script to follow 🤔 he did say he talked to the higher ups
"It's a TV show." His words. Basically, it's on the same level as fake, scripted TV shows.
Booger is one of the only pundits speaking the truth about the injustice we just witnessed. This goes beyond FSU players and fans. And if anyone thinks their team is safe, boy do they have another thing coming. If this injustice isn’t righted, it will continue to haunt college football. I admire Booger and others who aren’t letting this be swept under the rug. That’s true leadership.
I don't get pundits defending a system that a lot of them have admitted is flawed. It's mind blowing.
"Injustice??" Lmao, Jesus, save that term for serious global and social events.
This is just football.
OU wasn't safe. They were left out of the New Year's Six. And they beat one of the top four finalists. Something Penn State, Missouri, & Mississippi didn't do.
You nailed it. I was screaming a few weeks ago about ESPN and the committee being the same thing. I knew what they were going to do, just didn't want to believe it. Hopefully now, the system can come crumbling down. I wonder how many of Alabama's championships were rigged? I mean, Alabama if they win, only got in because a network rigged it for them. Fake championship if so. Oh and of course, there is a team that was actually caught cheating in the "playoff" lol. Nothing about this is legitimate.
@@dominikbatt4459 that's because they are told what they can say by the network they work for
Booger had some great points. It ain’t figure skating!!
Booger you have earned my respect. I think you are correct, and your reasoning exceeds the reasoning of those who cannot see and agree with what you are saying. I have no dog in this fight. In fact, I grew up hating Florida State, but they truly deserve to be in the playoff. Great point on the TCU selection last year. I’m thankful to see that Booger is not just parroting the ESPN company line here, and speaking what he actually feels is right.
Why do we like sports? Because it’s objective and final and decided on the field without spin, harsh as it may be sometimes. Completely disagree with Dan here, it’s not about money…it’s about a flawed sport.
Stop it. All things ain't equal. FSU was 55th in SOS. Alabama was 5th. FSU got to play Louisville, Georgia had to face the best program in modern history Alabama. Miss me with that objective nonsense.
@steveandersen996 The great thing is we shouldn't have to debate it. It shouldnt be Alabama or Florida State or Texas. We could just settle it on the field instead of in a committee room
@@steveandersen996 what FSU did their schedule was harder than what Alabama did with theirs. That's what SOR is and FSU is 3rd. Performance has to be rewarded.
@@steveandersen996 A team with 0 wins could be 1st in SOS.
@@steveandersen996I doubt Bama or Georgia could beat FSU in a playoff. Auburn manhandled Bama who was manhandled by NM ST. auburn had 62 yards rushing vs a g5 team then 250 against Bama. The fact Georgia couldn't run on them showed they weren't truly the best team in the country. Oh and SOS is a joke
The committee knew that 2nd string qb would be healthy when the playoffs start with an elite defense,they could have played against anybody
Booger speaks for the America of old. Fairness. Integrity. Dan speaks for the America of today. Greed and money. Simple.
As a buccaneers fan I loved B. McFarland... Thank you McFarland for playing for the buccaneers and standing up for FSU
Booger is 100. FSU is also a National Brand and have a large audience draw as well.
I’m not fsu fan but now I want them to have a chance to beat the top teams. That defense is stout!
Booger is the only person on ESPN that’s not a puppet. Thank you so much for standing up for what’s right and fair. I appreciate you and so does every Seminole fan
Go Noles justice shall be served
He agrees but won't stand up for what's right. Almost sums up our nation now.
Exactly. He knows it’s fundamentally wrong but doesn’t have the backbone to truly denounce it.
He is doing all he can, what else is he supposed to do.
@@maxbunting7492 pretty sure OP is referring to Dan. He knows that the committee’s sudden shift in criteria is ratings-based and devalues the true integrity of the sport, but he keeps insisting that he “lives in reality” and knows what the committee cares about, and therefore he agrees that they made the right decision. Booger is showing a sense of integrity by acknowledging that the committee’s goal of maximizing ratings and controversy is morally incorrect. He knows it’s a reality, but he stands up to it and argues that it’s a morally deprived reality.
If he is then it’s all good I took it as he was talking about booger.
So Dan is just admitting he lacks integrity and agrees with the Committee’s slanted, morally deprived view of the playoff and the sport as a whole. Got it!
Its sad you know this and never explained it to these STUDENTS who's lives could potentially be on the line in a physical game.... Shame on You then Dan. Its sad to have so many people we've looked up to show what kind of people they truly are.
Thanks Booger McFarland for being real and truthful to the sport and how it is supposed to be....The Seminoles will be back
100% Agree with Booger. Money has ruined football.
I am with my man Booger…Florida State took care of theirs business with 0 (zero) loss…they are IN.
Now…Alabama was ranked 8 before the game against Georgia. Florida State was ranked better than Alabama.
Georgia lost against a ranked 8…naturally Georgia is out of the 4.
Michigan moves to 1, Washington to 2, Texas to 3, Florida State 4.
This would make the whole lot of sense.
Also…the committee are not using theirs heads but theirs emotions…they wanted Alabama to get in and theirs excuses are Alabama beat Georgia number 1 team…Florida State played their third string Qb and they didn’t perform well.
Duh…a third string Qb and won the game…that should be a PLUS for Florida State to get in.
These people who were part of the committee should be BANNED from involving with College Football period.
If I have the power I would ask the FBI to investigate if there weren’t any favoritism or Bribed to these committees people.
That would make sure that the next committee don’t corrupt the game
Agreed, palms were greased
Crazy thing is, Louisville was favored by 1 by the time the game started.
I’m tired of these idiots trying to sound righteous in this situation even though they’re dead wrong. If you agree with the 4 teams that’s picked then how tf do you feel bad for FSU? You cant genuinely feel bad for someone or something if you feel they weren’t done wrong or slighted in a way. I appreciate booger for standing for the truth though.
We're all adults and we all know life isn't fair. However, that doesn't mean when you have the ability to make it more fair that you should ignore it..
Fsu got screwed, whos to say there defense doesnt win the title
Every fifth place team from any of the past ten years could make the same argument. “Who’s to say that. . . “
UGA
You have to be able to score points to win against the better teams. They were incapable of doing that and would've been destroyed in the playoffs.
@@drm2364Must be nice to be clairvoyant. If FSU couldn't score points, then how the hell did they win their 3 games without Travis? Oh yeah, by scoring and stopping the other team from scoring more. You know, like a football game.
@@prochrgedLT1Score more than 16 points against Louisville, who got beat by lowly SEC Kentucky, and you might have an argument.
One of these two guys played college football and one did not. Can you guess which is which based on their arguments?
Amen Booger!
While I disagree with Dan at least he’s honest about what’s behind it, but damn, you can see how sad that made Booger. Cause he knows the sacrifice the players make and how they put their bodies on the line with the unspoken promise that it actually matters whether they win or lose. The CFP committee showed us that the games don’t matter and neither do the players & coaches.
if what Dan is saying is true then we all have to be done with college football!!!
He’s a sellout
It’s about Greed and that’s why Alabama is in the playoffs!! More money and nobody cares that FSU put in hard work and dedication, went 13-0 and were told your hard work was not enough because we can make more money with Alabama in!!
Anyone who defends the committee loses me as a viewer forever... You are not to be trusted and you are not to be watched and and you are not to be rewarded with views or clicks... Thank you Booger... Kick rocks Dan...

@markstepanekii388 gotcha. Well silly people have always shy away from different opinions than their own. Probably why we have so much hate floating around
DP said it out loud: it's a television show. So much for merit when it comes to the margins; it's about being the "bigger name/blue blood." FSU could have been in in place of either Texas or Bama, but the committee chose to fill the 3 and 4 slots with the two programs they think will get the higher ratings and make the most money. Unless changes are made, the same approach will be used when the playoff expands next year, squeezing in a third or fourth team from the B1G and/or the SEC at the expense of a deserving second team from someplace like the Big XXII or ACC. The "power conferences" did it to the "mid-majors" in the basketball tournament, and now they are doing it even amongst themselves in football. To paraphrase Orwell, "all power conferences/programs are equal, some are more equal than others."
this is the difference between an actual athlete that played the game and knows what it takes to compete at the highest levels, and a soft old guy that has sat behind a desk his entire career talking about those athletes and the games. DP just exposed himself as nothing but a corporate lackey.
Thank you Booger for standing up for What’s right !!!!
Booger I didn’t know who you were until a few days ago, but by gosh you’re my hero. And be clear it’s not only that I’m a NOLE and you’re making the points we’re dying to hear, it’s because your defending the heart and soul of what these games are about. Every little kid with athletic dreams is depending on people like you to keep sports honest and focused on the game instead of profits.
For those who think this will stop at college sports, just look how crazy we’ve gotten with data and media coverage over high school kids the last ten years. If college football is now the NFL minors, It’s not a far stretch to imagine high school sports becoming national entertainment as we seek to replace what was great about CFB. How long them before we start making the same mistakes. Child actors can make millions, why wouldn’t you assume the same argument will one day be made for high school athletes? It’s sad and insane.
Can't Florida State bring this case to court ...?
Sadly won't matter, they pay whomever they have to.
To get a sec outcome
For what? Lol
Yes they can and they are. Florida Attorney General has already filed a Suit with backing from Governor DeSantis.
WELL SAID BOOGER
"The SEC is a tough conference because it has Alabama, Georgia, and LSU, and those teams are great teams because they are in the SEC." 😂😂 SEC had a losing out of conference record and a 4-6 record against the ACC.
So what actually matters here is this: will FSU beat UGA? If the answer is no, then FSU should be ranked 6th at best and the rest of this is a lot of tears.
And still the truth remains that FSU has always been too scared to go to the SEC explain how come in 1992 you were offered to come to the SEC in your own head coach admitted the SEC is too tough for us to go in there and try to compete for a national championship instead you went to that p**** ass ACC conference to whip up on some cupcakes the truth is you're not going to beat Alabama the truth is you wouldn't beat Georgia you might beat a down year LSU or you might beat a sorry-ass Florida team that hasn't been that good in years but the truth is you will never be able to beat Alabama as long as Nick Saban is the coach and you will never be able to beat a fully healthy fully stopped Georgia team as long as they have Kirby smart as their head coach that's just the truth and since y'all want to leave the ACC this is your chance to prove it join the SEC and prove how good you are next season but no that's not what Florida State's going to do what Florida state is going to do is run to the Big Ten or run to the Big 12 because they know at the end of the day they will get out recruited in the SEC and they will not win anything in the SEC
1 fluke season from the ACC .. get real they usually don’t even compare to SEC.
@@9durrell9but they won, usually sec is a good conference this year they was really down as a conference, why play the game if you know the outcome
The majority of talking points from the sports media is SEC is the best and always will be the best conference we can’t leave them out, and TCU got blown out so because FSU qb was injured we can’t allow them in cause it “might” be another blow out. If that’s the case don’t bother playing and just give bama and Georgia the title game beginning of the season because a lose doesn’t hurt either one threw out the season and they will always have at least one in the playoff. Teams won’t have to schedule hard teams and can just get their bowl games because the committee will always pick SEC over others. SEC lives off bama and Georgia name to justify they are just this powerhouse conference. Are they good of course but other conferences can and do beat SEC teams even those powerhouse teams.
So it's not about "right" or the sport, it's about "show". Dangerous road for sure, because eventually people will stop taking it seriously. Not now, not next year, but in ten years it'll just be a joke. Hope they earn enough money now to last them forever because in 10 years people will stop tuning in, OR it'll just be like the WWE. At least Dan had the balls to be a prick in public. That's a step up from "the committee". Thanks, Booger, for having integrity and the courage to speak the truth at the possible expense of your job. VERY few people do that anymore.
I do believe Florida State and the ACC should jointly file a lawsuit, they've got a good case. and the ACC was 4-1 against the SEC this year, that's a stone cold fact.
Corporate money controls college football. Now college football is dead, breaks my heart😢
Name me one other sports league where the perceived 4 best teams, or the 4 top ranked teams, always ended up being the final 4 teams.
Booger earned the respect of a lot of people this week. Well said.
Florida State -LSU was one of the most watch teams this year and always the number 1 watched team from the FSU.
Football is a team sport. It's not tennis. If the only thing that mattered when it came to winning was the QB then why does Nick Foles have a Super Bowl ring and Dan Marino doesn't? FSUs team earned and deserved a spot in the playoffs. Booger is right and it's crazy how many other talking heads are wrong on this.
It's disgusting to see this attitude by the sports journalists. Eh, it shouldn't be this way, but it is this way. They're exactly the reason it is this way. "I shouldn't be overweight, but I am." Then proceeds to shovel donuts in mouth.
Dan fence sits too often. There's really not a discussion here - FSU is undefeated, they earned the right to play in the CFB playoffs. The committee chickened out and didn't want to make a hard decision that would negatively impact the SEC or Big 12 so they penalized FSU, ACC.
The ACC beat the SEC 6-4 in head to head games this year. How is the SEC better than the ACC this year? SEC had a losing non conference record this year. Nobody is facing the fact that the SEC had a down year this year.
Dan Patrick is part of the problem. Always has been! But at least he is being honest and saying what we already know, "It's not about who is the best, it's about the $$"
In college sports you say it’s not always fair, but it’s money…. We’ll if it’s money than it’s business, and That’s what antitrust laws are for. “ to promote fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices in the marketplace.” Your agreeing that breaching those laws and colluding to do so is correct… I’d argue that it’s a criminal offense and additionally grounds for a multitude of lawsuits.
Patrick is just another corporate corruption apologist. McFarland is an actual man and has common sense.
Dan -- why don't just say it and be truthful. The reason why FSU was left out because of money instead of finding a ridiculous reason of losing Jordan Travis!! Period.
"The acc is not really a power 5 conference".
That's really embarrassing for the SEC to have a losing record against acc teams this year then 😂
Thanks Booger!
Then why play a regular season at all if it is all a show in the end? What is sad is those kids at FSU busted their butts, even after losing their starter and back up, to win both their remaining games. They did everything they were supposed to do. Meanwhile, that Alabama team that got in, needed a miracle vs a TERRIBLE Auburn team just 2 weeks ago. This has ruined college football forever.
I'm still trying to understand why I, standing on the side of integrity, virtue, and justice, have to look at the other side of greed, corruption, and hubris.
Booger McFarland’s opinion is just that....his opinion. It carries no more weight than the opinion of many, many other newspaper and television sports reporters.
You're right big boog. Feel sorry for Florida states Defense
This is shameful. Noles defense can beat any other college teams. We have a great kicker and punter. Not their decision to decide if Noles will win or loose. They did not even give them a change to win or loose. They should have had that change. Favoritism or YOU CFB. You can’t base your bias opinion on a team loosing their quarter back. They were given NO CHANCE and that is criminal. Never done that way before and Hope they sue someone.
Again, if that is how it is done, by creating sexy matchups, why would TCU or Cincinnati ever make a playoff? This year was different because a threat of not including SEC. Call it what it is. You cant have a sexy playoff without a team from the largest fan base. It has made a mockery of CFB.
That's easy... because this year it would have left out the famous SEC, those other years the SEC wasn't at risk of not being in the top 4..... it's bad but it's just that simple.
@@jimmyjam5453 yep exactly what I said
Booger gets it. Wins matter. Losses matter too. They took what we thought was a playoff and turned it into the SEC Skating Invitational. No respect for those games now. I don't agree with Dan, but he gets it too. This is no longer football, and certainly not a championship tournament. It's simply selling TV ads.
Dan Patrick is so obviously uncomfortable knowing he’s wrong. All these people are realizing that their love of money is changing their character. Two sides to this world …. Iight and dark… truth and deception. We know where the people in control are
FSU has a top 10 traveling fan base. Even when they were terrible they still drew huge numbers on TV. Tate Rodemaker was going to be able to play in the playoff. Such nonsense to have all of these excuses to keep them out.
What in the world is Dan talking about? The Louisville game didn’t matter. They were going to do this anyway. Also, our 3rd string quarterback wasn’t going to play in the playoffs. And draw? If we are in the playoffs Noles fans would have bought up every single ticket and more. Just more nonsense. Hope ESPN doesn’t axe Booger…
How can a G5 school in New Mexico State manage to beat (SEC) team Auburn 31-10? How did Auburn manage to only lose to Alabama by 3 and Georgia by 7? To Booger McFarland point this is why the games have to be played on the field. To Dan Patrick point, he’s basically saying if FSU wants to compete with the big boys like Alabama & Georgia they’re going to have to join the SEC or Big 10 or get left behind. Corrupt politicians have ruined the game of college football we all love to watch. Sad but true…
Boogers face after Dan said yes at 5:47 and 6:08 says it all
FSU got hosed . The Siminoles haven't been the top tier long enough. The ACC isn't the way. Play Georgia , then move the ball forward .
Since the 1980's FSU has more National Championships then Michigan, Washington and Texas. They were once top 3 in 14 straight seasons so they have been top tier longer than most schools.
Nah playing Georgia proves nothing, If Georgia wins people will say FSU didn't belong anyways, If FSU wins people will say, Georgia was unmotivated and it doesn't count. FSU is lose/lose situation lol. The Orange bowl game is meaningless. I don't even think the starters for FSU will play because of their prospects to the NFL draft.
The really should be canceled, I think thats the best decision for everybody, nobody want see this
game, its meaningless
@@GMan5451Florida state isn’t even in the top 75 in total wins, they are not a blue blood.
The fact that you have to “explain it” says everything.
I remember when everyone picked Michigan over TCU last year and they went on to beat Michigan and earned a ticket to a Georgia beat down. So who is to say that Michigan wouldn’t have gotten that same beating. FSU got screwed bc college football is ultimately bought and paid for by the SEC and this years decision just proved that.
Dan Patrick just admitted he doesn’t understand the situation. The qb against Louisville was 3rd string. The 2nd string qb would be back by the playoff.
Booger is the best. Love his analysis. Shoots you straight every time.
We all know politics was in that committee room for 1 loss Bama, they was judges
Disgusting. Dont say you feel bad for FSU. You don’t. Thank you Booger
Thanks Booger and Dan Mullen,Richard Sherman, Domonique Foxworth and Greeny
How down bad is college football if a guy who goes by Booger is the voice of reason in the sport right now?
When you have to say "look better', you have a PROBLEM. It has become like Figure skating. When you remove objectivity and replace with subjectivity, this is what you get.
College football has always been about who “looks better”, human polls decided the champion from the start until the bcs and human polls were a part of that too. The playoff is the best system we have ever had.
Why are we not talking bout the fact that Michigan is in the middle of a massive scandal and still be voted into the CFP?
Dan was doing a whole lot of double-speak there. First, he was not agreeing but just "explaining" the committee's thinking, but by the end he was clearly agreeing with the committee.
I can’t believe Booger has really looked very deep into his argument or he wouldn’t be making. Last year, TCU, with the same 11-2 record as Bama (who was ranked 5th), got in and Bama was left out. Why? Because TCU was "more deserving" as conf. champion. Well, we all saw what happened. TCU lost by 58. No way was the committee was going to let that happen again.
FSU only played TWO teams, with less than four losses, and that was LSU in game one, and they ended up with three losses and Louisville. They also only played FOUR teams with winning records and only TWO teams in the top 20. On the other hand, Bama played FOUR top FIFTEEN teams with a total of seven losses between them and only three teams with losing records. The committee picked Bama , because they "deserved" to be in by playing one of the hardest schedules in the nation, while FSU played one of the easiest, and losing only to Texas by 10 points, early in the season. That would be the same Texas team that is ranked 3rd in the playoff.😢. My guess is Booger doesn’t know any of these facts, or he wouldn’t have the same opinion.
Who says Alabama is better.... You didn't hear ESPN talk a week straight propping up Bama like they did FSU ... What commentator was stating that had FSU Defense in the 4th quarter vs Louisville and Florida have a combined -55 yards or that FSU has combined QB completion percentage other teams below 50%. Jayden Daniels only put up 17 points before garbage time vs 2nd string
Committee either got paid off or they are really stupid. Either way they should all be fired and probably investigated
That’s a dumb take
And nobody would have picked Appalachian State over Michigan either...
This is sickening.
People forget that it was a third string quarterback against Louisville and not the guy who will be quarterbacking the bowl game.
Dan's right, but Booger is even more right.
Say what you want about money and sexy matchups, if we wanted sexy matchups college football should just start mandating teams to play each other in the regular season in non-conference play. They can't. So they meddle here. And who runs most of this stuff? ESPN. ESPN owns the rights for the SEC broadcasts next year. They're gonna do what they can to get an SEC team in there.
If FSU beat UL 55-6 or 40-6, this wouldn't be an issue. We found a way to win our games no matter whom our QB was. If our Defense wasn't evidence enough, then why is everyone always talking about UGA and Bama defenses are best in the land? If wins don't matter, then every game Bama and Texas won (including Texas over Bama) don't matter. This isn't about who could beat FSU right now, there aren't any CFP bowl games right now. There is no solid argument for why FSU was left out. The committee knows this. ESPN and all their fake, paid-for (Not Booger or Danny K) analysts know this. The sad excuse for a SEC commissioner knew this. Every single person involved was willing to be bought and/or paid the price with their credibility, which obviously no longer matters for this result. PERIOD. If I gave Boo a blank check and said name your price, and asked for the REAL TRUTH, he'd be spilling the beans. It's garbage and they know nothing will be done about it and that come bowl games, everyone will forget about what happened here.
That’s why you boycott watching the playoffs 😊
Definitely rigged, even before fsu played ul.
They were never going to get in.
Sad and pathetic
Watching the game while out celebrating the SEC CG win I told people that FSU needed to win by about 20, say 30-10 to get in. They needed to win convincingly.
The FSU passing stats flashed on the screen and drew a gasp at another bar. That was absurd for a championship caliber team.
People who have not been paying attention did not realize how bad the situation was with the CFPO Committee trying to fit 5 teams into 4 spots.
You finna' find out about why Jawja & SEC defenses get so much credit.
Dan is a corporate guy..proved it in this interview
People watch FSU. Saying they weren’t going to draw viewers is silly.
People watch the college bowl games because the young players are playing their hearts out. No money involved. Its all about spirit and college loyalty and culture. Thst type of fun is intoxicating.
When vegas gets involved it turns what was innocent into whats dirty about pro ball. Booger is 100% right.
Coach Prime was 100% correct, the CFP wanted an SEC team in no matter what. More money more money. No respect for the CFP committee.
