I'd actually think FSU still.

Mississippi State would have a better argument than K-State IMO

My vote would be K-state because that would mean that they beat Baylor and 2 losses in the BigXII is better than 2 losses in the Big10, but it would probably go to Mich. St. to avoid 2 BigXII teams getting in.

2 losses in the Big 12 is better than 1 loss in 2 years in the ACC?

FSU would still be 4. How can anyone justify K State over FSU?

It should be Florida State.

I'm not saying I disagree.

But last year has no bearing on this at all.

Well if K State had scheduled Indiana or Colorado instead of Auburn we'd be discussing them with TCU and Baylor right now...

Yes it does. Listen to any commentary about FSU and you'll hear it. When you've won X amount in a row, it's a factor.

Conference champion. I think Ga Tech would have a good claim as well.

Yep. It shouldn't but it does.

All of CFB history has a bearing. Mississippi State has no chance with 2 losses. The gumps get in with the same resume if the other chips fall into place.

Correct. Given all the results up to this point, and given the scenario in the OP as well as all other favorites winning today, here are some comprehensive numbers to consider regarding the top teams:

CFP# - school - winning % - SOS
1 Alabama 0.917 0.597
2 Oregon 0.917 0.577
3 Texas Christian 0.909 0.505
4 Florida State 0.917 0.566
5 Ohio State 0.846 0.576
6 Baylor 0.818 0.482
8 Michigan State 0.818 0.529
9 Kansas State 0.818 0.539
10 Mississippi State 0.818 0.554
11 Georgia Tech 0.833 0.600
13 Wisconsin 0.833 0.575

They wouldn't do it this way, but Florida State and Georgia Tech are #3 and #4 in this case. Sparty, KState, and MState have no argument over the Yellow Jackets. TCU would get the #3 in this scenario most likely, but Florida State and Georgia Tech have both done better if you ask me.

ETA: TCU added

In this case, the FSU vs Ga Tech debate would certainly be a heated one at least.

Ga Tech with the head to head W in championship game and therefore the ACC champions and also the resume with the 2 best wins FSU (neutral) + Georgia (away).

That may well be enough to overcome the 2 losses even if the North Carolina one is particularly harmful.

If it just came down to head to head vs Ga Tech it would be hard to see the committee leaving FSU over Tech looking at how they have weighed number of high quality wins.
