re: Florida State left out indicates out of control corruption in the CFP committee.

4 best teams Such corruption

Glad you are not a lawyer! Would you like to make your case, or did you just need to get that off your chest?

Let me make this simple:
5 Conference champs got ranked #1-5...

Then, to see who made the top 4, one thing you can look at is record. But, WHO you beat matters. So, to see that, you look at strength of schedule (SOS), and here is how they stack up:

SOS:
#5 ALA
#11 WASH
#13 TEX
#33 MICH
#37 UGA (just in case they had beat Bama)
#55 FSU

It's pretty simple to see which 4 teams won against the tougher competition this year. Yes, FSU went undefeated, but they won against a weak schedule. Bama's only loss came against a CFP team AND they just beat the consensus #1 team in the country. So, that helped them. It also hurt FSU that Travis got hurt and the offense has been horrible since. Translation = FSU not in CFP.

Admin please move to Florida st melt board

This is what you had in the rankings for the 2022 CFP.

1) Georgia 13-0 (SEC Champs)
2) Michigan 13-0 (Big 10 Champs)
3) TCU 12-1 (Big 12 Champs)
4) Ohio St. 11-1 (Big 10 Runner-ups)

Clemson 11-2 (ACC Champs)
Utah 10-3 (Pac 12 Champs)
LSU 9-4 (SEC West Co-Champs)


If we had beaten aTm and UGA, that would still have seen UGA at 12-1 while we would have been 11-2 SEC Champs.

Based on what they did to Clemson, I am guessing this is how it likely would have gone in your hypothetical scenario:

1) Michigan 13-0 (Big 10 Champ)
2) TCU 12-1 (Big 12 Champ)
3) LSU 11-2 (SEC Champ)
4) Georgia 12-1 (SEC Runner-up)

Oh St knocked out in favor of UGA because of slightly better record and better SOS, and, although Clemson and Utah are Conference Champs, their records have too many losses to move them up the rankings to include in the playoffs. You want to include the Conf. Champs, but that is ONE factor to start with. There are others. This year, the records are essentially the same.

So if LSU was in Bama’s shoes you would feel the same way?

Imagine Bama in FSU’s shoes. Trailers would burn.

So if Alabama was in Fla states shoes they would feel different? See how that works.

It’s a conundrum bro!

You are incorrect. The committee did exactly what they are instructed to do. The protocol given to the committee direct them to consider the effect of the absence of any key player or coaches on any team that had a significant effect on the success of the team. It’s in blackout and white in the instructions they are to follow. FSU has lost their first and 2nd string QBs. They just followed their protocol.

so the melt is so strong its on the more sports board as well. impressive

"out of control corruption"
No reason to be a drama queen.
