if the 'committee' wanted to claim that FSU was a 'different team' after Travis got hurt, then why did they """""""""K.E.E.P.""""""""" them at #4 in """THEIR""" rankings ??????? FSU was STILL #4 in their rankings BEFORE last Saturday and going into last Saturday's title games.


Your typing gave me a seizure. But you're factually wrong.

Travis got hurt week 12. The committee did move FSU down to 5 after the injury. They moved them back up to 4 after they squeaked out of Gainesville with a win.

Doesn't help explain their "logic" though.

Bama was NOT a conference runner up, they were a division runner up whose last game before being selected was a 12-point loss to Auburn. Fwiw, Wisconsin lost by 6 to Ohio State in the Big 10 Championship.


My memory failed me on that one. Seems Auburn got dinged for having lost to Clemson. Kind of raw deal, though I'd argue this year is hardly comparable to the way Bama got in in 2017.

Ohio State, which lost by two scores at home to a 6-6 Va Tech team, was selected ahead of TCU which was more deserving, probably Baylor too.

It doesn’t matter that OSU wound up winning, they didn’t deserve to be there.


TCU didn't have a conference championship to play in. No way a 1-loss conference co-champion without a CCG win gets in over a 1-loss conference champion that had CCG win and over a ranked opponent at that. Pretty much the reason why the Big 12 established a CCG to try and avoid this. Ohio St did deserve to be there.

It’s almost like you can pick the fans here that are really Bama fans by their comments

It's almost like you can pick out the fans here that are deranged to the point of irrational bias that ignores all the facts.

So why doesn't strength of schedule matter if Teavis is healthy but it does if he isnt???


Because it is part of the criteria agreed upon for the CFP. Its right there in the rules that they can consider recent injuries and such.

Who would FSU replace? All four plus Georgia are better teams.

Why is Washington never…ever…ever
mentioned as a team to pull. Are they putting inclusivity ahead of all else
