Got an absolute banger in FCS playoffs. NDSU and Montana State heading to OT. Great game.

Jogging my memory…After looking it up February, 1987.  I also thought about 40 years ago. Closer to 37 years.  Coach Ron Meyer and Bobby Collins along with Eric Dickerson and winning SMU was pretty big in earlier and mid 1980’s.  I think what they did was peanuts compared to what is now legalized today.

You left off that holy roller Craig James...

NDSU blocks a PAT to win it in overtime. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better game than that.

Have not seen Alabama play much this season.

Milroe, their QB, holds onto the ball way, way too long.

SMU was blatant about it. All anyone else learned from that was to be more discreet. Didn't change the 'what' just the 'how.' See Alabama since forever. 

Just have to watch the 30 for 30 and see how bad they and all the other SWC teams cheated

With how Texas looked today, there shouldn’t be a world where they’re out and Bama are in.

if Bama wins and FSU wins, as crazy as it sounds, there shouldn’t be an SEC team in

A 12-1 SEC champion Alabama with the best win in college football this season definitely should be in. FSU’s best win this year was a week 1 win against the 3rd best SEC west school.

Alabama wins which means they'll probably put both Alabama and Georgia in the playoff, leaving out 1 undefeated team assuming UM and FSU both win.

Unless Michigan and FSU both lose, I don't see how Georgia gets in. 

'Dawgs lost their conference title game. One-loss Texas won theirs -- and has a win over 'Bama.

Maybe so, but if that happens, I really, really, want to hear them justify Bama in and Texas out. If you do that, you’re saying that Texas going into Tuscaloosa and beating them comfortably was literally meaningless. And I get the argument for Georgia over FSU with the Travis injury, but at some point winning has to matter and dumping an undefeated Power conference champion for a 1-loss non-champion, I’m not down with that. For me, today was Georgia’s 1st playoff game and they were eliminated. 
Personally, I think there would be a better argument for no SEC team than for 2.

That was TIC but I really wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened.

I take an undefeated power conference champion over Georgia

I don't disagree and it would be totally unfair to leave an undefeated team and Texas out but I don't think the committee cares about fair. At all. Just money. The controversy would just be more publicity.

I don't really think it will happen but would not be at all surprised it did.

That mishandled exchange from Georgia QB and running back was….

The best team to beat Alabama was Texas.

The best team to beat Florida State so far is no one.

And if Alabama beating Georgia puts Alabama in the playoff over Georgia, then the best win of the season isn't Alabama over Georgia....its Texas over Alabama, which did it on the road and by double figures.

[LamarCheeks]

If FSU and Michigan win, I think the final four should be ... 

Michigan

Washington

Florida State

Texas 

But will the committee have the stones to keep an SEC team out?

I disagree. To me, beating the undefeated 2x defending champion in your conference title game is a better win than a week 2 win. Bama isn’t the same team it was then.  

This is FSU’s resume. Does anyone really think FSU is one of the four best teams in the country with its backup quarterback and Alabama isn’t?
