It's a reference to this iconic rant from 2007

It's crazy to me that not only are there CFB fans who are not familiar with The Rant, but there will soon be CFB PLAYERS who weren't alive when it happened.

Wild how young r/cfb users have become. Outside of it being a controversial situation, it seems that so many people here are too young to remember the 2011 BCS selection or '93 FSU advancing to the NC with one loss over an undefeated WVU.

While it’s true that people don’t know about those, those situations are exactly what the CFP was allegedly meant to prevent. So they’re not really good precedents to cite.

I mean, we ended up in the same situation, no one disputes the '11 title and FSU is complaining about the same thing they benefited from before so I think it's all pretty relevant.

FSU is complaining about the same thing they benefited from before

Which happened a decade before anyone on the current team was even born.

But yes, we're in the same situation, which is exactly why people are upset. We'd been told that the 4-team playoff would fix things... we'll see if 12 works a little better.
