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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I can’t find it. And I don’t really know how Michigan and Washington are so clearly above FSU.

I’ll just say, this is my opinion - I don’t know why they ever had a playoff if it weren’t for giving teams like Liberty a shot. This season is tougher because there are many 0 and 1 loss teams

As per the selection committee criteria, they would not pass the first threshold of similar “pedigree” I suppose.

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

Yes and no. They stated this as their reason. Once out of the way, they clearly used the stated criteria, but had to first get FSU out of the mix. At the end of the day, they started with the teams they wanted in and justified it from there.
