FSU Is IN

FSU football is right where they want to be, and that’s among the top four teams. As I mentioned, the order will shift based on teams winning and losing over the next few weeks.

It’s all about the matchups once you get to the College Football Playoff. FSU doesn’t have to worry about what other teams do.

All they have to do is win the next five games, and they’ll be one of the four teams in the playoff. If they were just outside the top four, they’d have to pray for other teams to lose or that some team ranked behind them didn’t get a big win and possibly leapfrog them.

The way it the rankings are, and teams ranked closely having to play on another, no team will leap an undefeated FSU.

I know I pointed out the contradictions of the committee earlier in this post, but that’s because the media loves to hate on FSU football for whatever reason.

FSU fans, just remember it would always be worse, and it’s been nearly a decade since we’ve been in this position. Just sit back and enjoy being amongst the elite once again.
