Man the whining sounded like a Trump greatest hits show. It got really old really fast.

Unless there is an all in tournament, somebody is going to cry about the selection process, whether it is the #69 NCAA basketball slot or the #5 FCS pick.

Next year it will be the #13 team - I think there is 12 next year.

Florida State has a great chance to end the season with a victory over a very, very good Georgia team. Hope they don't screw it up by feeling sorry for themselves.
