re: Per CFP Committee member, they choose final matchups based on who they predict will win

The result is FSU gets fricked so Bama could be included. Given the reasoning they used of “best 4”, UGA also got fricked.
Of course they were going to frick shite up all the way through the finish.
Didn’t see y’all bothered by the shite rankings all along the way.
In fact y’all laughed at me.

And if Jordan Travis could walk Alabama would be out.
ESPN and other sports networks were already discussing how to lock them out.
His injury just made it easier.

Because it was Alabama(and Texas) getting screwed.
Another narrative change. It was going to be Texas getting screwed in place of Bama.
Now that the criteria magically changed again, the darlings didn't get screwed while someone that earned it did.
More mental gymnastics from a fan base that never has to deal in the reality that 130 other fan bases do.
Just be honest, Bama got in because Bama. Period. I respect fans that can at least be honest. That's what is hilarious about this entire thread.

Alabama got in because Travis got hurt.
FSU is in if Travis isn’t hurt.

It wasn’t possible before he went down.

Again, they were already discussing/arguing for it before he was injured.

I didn’t see much of that and I really don’t think they leave FSU out with a healthy Travis.
I’d put a pretty penny on it.

Well, the first ever undefeated P5 team to be left out has occurred and I would put a pretty penny on the fact that no one on here would ever have believed it would happen before it did.

Nope, then they would have likely fricked over Texas.

This is also debatable as well based on some of the stories posted here. I didn't pay attention to the FSU narrative at all.
I don't need to read articles or watch stupid sports shows to be able to predict these things. I understand favoritism and corruption. Once Bama beat UGA, they were getting in regardless. Only question was, who was going to get fricked over.
I honestly thought it was Texas. I was wrong. UT is still a Tier 1 program.
UT is going to regret joining the SEC and I can't wait to point and laugh at them.

I disagree. The rankings going into championship weekend were right. Every team that needed to win did. FSU included.

Nah, I was one of those fans saying for the past month that if Bama won out, they would backdoor them in over someone ranked ahead of them. Completely predictable. Bama plays by different rules/standards. This has been blatantly obvious for years. Only the true believers think this is all clean and pure. It never was and never will be.

Travis’ injury set this entire thing in motion. Alabama doesn’t even get close to getting in if he doesn’t go down.

Which is what you should never ever do.
People get predictions wrong every single week. FSU earned their spot.

It’s almost like having a random-arse group of people deciding who should play for a championship is really fricking dumb.
Who would have ever thunkit????

The SEC champion was always getting in. That wasn’t specific to Bama. Had Ole Miss beaten Bama in the regular season and therefore been ranked top 6, then beaten UGA in Atlanta to finish with one loss (to UGA in reg season), Ole Miss would have been in the playoff.

This has scam written all over it! We'll see a 30 for 30 of this in the future.

Their fans believed they “deserved” a spot in 2022 as well. Even though they were 10-2 and didn’t even win the SEC West.
No we believed we were better than some other shitty teams that got in that also didn't "deserve" anything.
The only "deserving" teams in 2022 were Georgia and Michigan.
This year there just happened to be way more "deserving" teams than any other year.
2023 Ohio State is ranked 7th and deserve the playoff more than a few teams that have been in the playoffs in recent years.
2017 Alabama was the 4th best team. They had no other teams with a real gripe. 2017 Ohio State had 2 losses including a blowout to Iowa. It was a non decision.
2023 Ohio State has a better resume than 2017 Alabama. Both have 2 ranked wins. OSUs wins this year are better than Alabamas two ranked wins over Mississippi State and LSU that year. OSUs loss to Michigan this year is better than Alabamas loss to Auburn that year.
The number of "deserving" teams and how "deserving" the 4th most "deserving" team is varies wildly from year to year.
There is no deserve. There is no earned. This isn't the NFL. Schedule inequality from conference inequality is a real thing.

No.
Otherwise Texas would be 4, not 3.
If they put in Texas in order to justify Bama, then Bama didn't deserve to be in it.

So, it’s the best game, not the best team?
I’m getting overwhelmed by the number of justifications going on.
See if you can follow this bit of logic, the BEST teams will make the BEST games.
And being a conference champion has never been the main ingredient in making that happen. History says that is correct.
