[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 3353303, member: 72863"] We don't need to debate it? Sure we can. It absolutely wasn't zero chance in the BCS era. How many ranked opponents did those Boise, Utah, and TCU teams play in OOC in those undefeated years? Hell, we were #3 in the BCS in 2010 having played 5-7 Oregon State, Tennessee Tech, 7-6 Baylor, and an MWC schedule. You don't think we could have jumped a spot had we dropped Tennessee Tech and beat, say, a legitimate Top 15 team on the road and had Oregon and Auburn lost a game? Of course they could have. Just because a bunch of undefeated teams from weak conferences who also deliberately scheduled patsies in the OOC didn't make the Final two in the BCS doesn't mean it could never happen. I mean, if they want to continue scheduling that way it might never happen, but the odds were definitely not "zero". You're starting to sound like some of these other folks who said TCU would never make the CFP unless they went undefeated, or that the committee would never leave the Big 10 out of the CFP, etc, etc, etc. I hate the argument that, no matter what, all undefeated teams deserve a chance. I think FSU probably did, and would have, had a few rare circumstances not been going against them. But Liberty? Nah, not with the schedule they played. [/QUOTE]
