We’re flying past each other due to semantics.
I’m not arguing that the term I just made up, being “FSU’d”, describes a team in FSU’s exact circumstances.
Im saying it’s being screwed out of a spot at the table due to subjective criteria.
Obviously if we go undefeated in the B1G and win the conference championship we wouldn’t be left out.
The situation I was thinking of was more us hypothetically being 11-1 at the end of the season, somehow missing the conference championship game, and being ranked 11th-ish going into the conference championship week.
There will be teams in those positions every year, and it is now very clear (to me) how those last coveted spots will be filled.
