re: Would FSU be in had they won 30-20 yesterday?

Unfortunately, it’s possible. The reason CBS is quoting from the committee is BS and doesn’t make sense. They could have named any number of valid reasons; not a strong enough schedule; too many really close games against weaker teams; or even we think Bama is the better team due to the historical performance in big games and team improvement throughout the season, etc. But this is just a finger in FSUs eye. I’m not an FSU fan either.
