Nah, I hate Florida State as much as I hate Michigan and Norte Dame.

Why are you okay with once defeated Texas being in over fsu?
I don't think anybody is.

If UGA had won the SECCG and left them, Michigan, Washington, and FSU as 4 undefeated P5 champs then I think most people on here would agree that Texas should've been #5 in the final CFP rankings.

Bama doesn't get in without Texas also being in. Without forcing Bama in, you get: 1. TCUN 2. Washington 3. Florida State 4. Texas 5. Bama Because the committee decided to say frick everything, they didn't really have a choice.


This.

Bama and Texas, Texas and Bama were tied to one another. Committee took the easy (cowardly) way out and excluded FSU per their QB situation.

In truth, UGA has an argument, but none of us has ever seen a P5 undefeated team NOT get in the 4 team playoffs.

Texas should not have been in at FSU's expense.

And since Texas beat Bama, then Bama shouldn't be in over Texas.

It should've been Michigan, Washington, FSU, and Texas. The only people on this board saying otherwise are Bama fans.

But they put Texas over FSU.

The committee could just have easily done the opposite.

Michigan, Washington, FSU, and ALABAMA.

Most people on here agree that FSU should be in above Bama but not Texas. The committee disagrees. Had uga won, Texas would have that fourth spot.

A) Playoffs are only 10 years old
B) We also hadn't seen an SEC champ left out, so we were getting a first either way
C) ACC is a Power Conference in football in name only. Blame the other schools in your conference (the one y'all tried to leave earlier this year)
D) FSU wouldn't have deserved to get in even with a healthy QB.
E) Blame your conference for helping delay the 12 team playoff.

D, you have to know this is idiotic. You can’t be this dumb.

E, so you are admitting that what the committee chose is money and acted cowardly.

Because they had to put Texas in to justify Bama getting in

Then there'd have been a giant uproar over the committee leaving Texas out because head-to-head results are one of the main things the committee is supposed to consider in their rankings. Both conference champs. Both same record. But Texas went into Bama's house and won by 10

So pick your poison bro. How do you make everyone happy when you have more BEST teams than slots to fill them?

You go to a 12-team playoff. If you want the reason why that didn't happen this season let me know.

Leave Alabama out. Tied for the worst record as a champ in a power 5 league with a loss to the team that has a tie record. Alabama should have been out of the playoff

That's the purple and yellow talking. On the field, BAMA belongs. That has been an LSU problem since Coach Bryant.

FSU should be 3. Texas 4. I thought the committee had a simple decision. I guess they’re smarter than I am.
