Frankly i think they’ll make the tough decision and axe Florida state so bama and Texas get in. If that happens I’m the committee i hope Florida state plays Georgia in a bowl game. So if Georgia destroys them i think there’s less people questioning it after the fact 

Sounds like a great idea.  Give Florida St vs Georgia and let them prove it.

ACC is the weakest of the power 5 and FSU played a weak schedule.  Also the committee has to look at how teams are playing currently and they haven't looked good the last few weeks without Travis.

A win tomorrow is so huge for the rest of the season.  A loss makes it so much more dangerous while still climbing to the mountain top of this difficult run. 

Also if the Eagles lose tomorrow the national media and wider football audience will then full on discredit the Eagles NFC Championship last year over Purdy getting injured on his fumble.

That's the 63-0 playoff game no one wants to see.

Wouldn’t be a playoff game. Would be a bowl game outside of the playoff like orange bowl, fiesta bowl or cotton bowl. That happens i feel more people will justify the decision by the committee to leave FSU out. If they leave FSU in the playoff and Michigan or Washington beats them down then committee is never gonna hear the end of it (not that it matters cause it is what it is)

gotcha so you are a upset Michigan fan. no i just think regardless of the loss Bama & Georgia are still two of the best teams in CFB. because my opinon differs from you i have to be a clown lmao 

also go back & read my post of my top 4. i said with Michigan those are the best 4. but youre being emotional & just assume that i had Georgia in the top 4.

You said Michigan is only in the top 4 because they are undefeated basically insinuating they didn't play a tough schedule nor or a good team, which isn't the case. 

Georgia's best win is at home vs Missouri

Just stop

What does last year have anything to do with anything. 

San Fran is not a scary place to play and Vegas deems home field advantage worth one point since COVID basically saying home field advantage isnt what it was. They will be fine either way.

What does Covid have to do with HFA?

Traveling across country isn't a benefit, meanwhile playing the NFC Championship at home is.

 

I think a huge benefit for the Eagles tomorrow is having so many Alabama and Georgia guys on the roster.  Especially younger guys from those schools although they do have Julio too.  Some are going to be amped and some angry after that SEC Championship tonight and the trashing talking that goes on between teammates over that.  I think they are going to have a high stakes championship level game focus tomorrow and I think the home atmosphere will match that.

we can agree to disagree on Michigan. im insinuating that their two best wins were against teams that imo were frauds. Penn st & OSU. their defense is good but their offense is sus. probably their worse qb play in 5 years? maybe more

then we can disagree on Georgia being one of the top 4 teams. idc i still think they are one of the best 4 football teams in CFB. i have more faith in Georgia then i do Michigan until i see them do something in the playoffs. what they did this year hasnt shown me anything because they did the same thing last year. then ran into a team that could score & got dog walked.

Most likely.   But it will show Florida St didn't belong in the CFP.

If FSU makes it a game or even wins then the committee made a mistake not putting them in.

This Southern Illinois vs. Idaho game has been good. 17-17 with 3 minutes left and S. Illinois is driving.

That's the thing.  Win tomorrow pretty much locks up the bye.  A loss loses them that bye if they then lose to Dallas on the road when Dallas has had extra time to prepare as well.  

 

But there could be benefit to getting the #2 seed instead of the #1 seed if the Eagles hold onto the division.  Avoid the Cowboys in the divisional round and instead play the Lions playing in Philly in January before setting up a NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.  But still the rest of the bye week and homefield advantage throughout makes the #1 seed the top score even if Dallas in round 2.

Game today

Totally amped for the game, but I do admit that my mind says we will lose as the 9ers are healthier, more rest and better defense. It would be a tough matchup if both were full strength, but now we are hobbled and they’re not so much.

 

hope I’m wrong🙈🤷‍♂️
