My guess is they'll be 3rd in the CFP ranking though.

Not a shocker. The top 4 would be my top 4, We will see in the committee follows suit.

Make the case for FSU being #1. Sell the committee on it.

[ggclfan]

FSU is ranked #1 and would probably be an underdog in Vegas on a neutral site against at least 4 or 5 of the other 7 teams in the top 8.

Another case of struggling against a non rated team and still moving up.

About time FSU gets some respect!

Make the case for FSU being #1. Sell the committee on it.

 

They are the only undefeated team from a Power 5 conference, they are the defending national champions and they still have the Heisman Trophy winner as their leader who, by the way, has never lost a game in his college career.

 

If that ain't enough then nothing is.

[Jumper_Dad]

FSU deserve to be #1, end of discussion.

 

If those 4 win out those four SHOULD be the Final Four!

 

Bama and Miss St by far have the toughest games left...I could see either losing but I think they will win out.

Come on. The fact they're defending national champs has no bearing. The fact they have a Heisman winner has no bearing.

 

Undefeated has to be taken into account but so does the competition level, right? Who is the win you hold up to say "here's why we should be #1?" What win overcomes their schedule?

Not a FSU fan, but totally agree with your assessment...

I'm still hoping the Steelers draft Jameis Winston so he has a couple of years to learn under Roethlisberger.

[Irish Cat]

While it is true the FSU has won all of their games, considering what we now know about Notre Dame, the fact that they came into Doak Walker and would have won if not for a controversial penalty call has to give you some pause regarding the Seminoles. Am I wrong that the Notre Dame game was supposed to be their big win at the time?

FSU is ranked #1 and would probably be an underdog in Vegas on a neutral site against at least 4 or 5 of the other 7 teams in the top 8.

 

According to Vegas power rankings, only Alabama would be favored over FSU.

[JBCousins]

Doesn't matter who is #1. I agree with their top 4 and think that is who the committee will have. Alabama, Oregon, or FSU could all make an argument to be #1.
