They have more than that as a criteria. Easily read on their website. I'm not going to assume they didn't consider everything that their published criteria states.


It’s subjective, and they stated their reasoning. That’s not an assumption.

There's no way they didn't consider Bama and Texas SoS, record, CCG opponents, and a CCG win. That's lazy to think they only kept FSU out because of Travis being out.


Oh they did. They also used their criteria that head-to-head MUST be considered when comparing two teams, which is why FSU ultimately got left out. They couldn’t, per their own guidelines, bring in bama without UT.

And SoS is a stated criteria for playoff selection.


So how is it calculated and where can you find it? How does FSU compare to the other undefeated teams?

I'm bringing them in the discussion. Why shouldn't they get in?


Because there are already 4 teams in that you have already made an argument for, that would exclude them.

If the committee were to put in Michigan Washington and FSU, I would expect an explanation of how they decided on that final team. I wouldn’t expect them to be ranked ahead of those teams because of lack of comparability with common opponents.

I take you mean they didn't base it solely on FSU QB injury.

Being considered isn't the same as automatically puts you in, but, yes, putting Bama in and then not Texas wouldn't look right. Still doesn't mean SoS, and quality of CCG opponent, and CCG win didn't come into play.

Opponents' combined win-loss record, opponents' final season ranking, opponents' conference, opponents' talent. I get where you are going; what's the detailed protocol? Without it, there's your subjectivity. If you can find where it is stated, I'd like to see it, but those items I mentioned are what make sense to me.

Yes, I'm basing this on Michigan and UW getting in regardless. I'm asking why doesn't Liberty get in with 2 spots among Texas, Bama, and FSU? For me, they don't beat out those three on any of the criteria I mentioned.
