Couldn’t screw Texas cause they have one foot in the SEC so greater than an undefeated conference champion.
Washington winning this would be miraculous

Washington winning this would be miraculous
Because there are 68 teams? They get moved down a seed line or two BUT guess what? They still got in.
I’m not twisting anything, I said yesterday this is exactly what would happen. I’m not saying it’s right but this is was always the outcome with the results we got.
Besides the Seminoles, the team most upset that FSU didn’t get in- the Michigan Wolverines.
Texas beat #18 Okie State and jumped 4 spots. Florida State beat #14 Louisville and dropped a spot.
What a really, really dumb system.
And Texas’s win vs bama gets and upgrade after they beat Georgia, also texas dominated where FSU struggled hard against Louisville.
Again, not saying I agree with it but unless FSU dominated this was going to be the result.
Might have been the most fun game I have ever attended...and I've been to a lot.
And that's the worst part. There is no consequences to this and the committee just gets to move along.
FSU should boycott
100% this. The committee chair flat out said that they discussed “who would you want to play” and “who would you not want to play” when discussing how to rank teams. Let the results on the field speak for themselves. Can you imagine if the NFL left out division champs because of the “eye test”. Clown show.

Even Fowler right now is on here talking about vegas odds and how big a favorite Bama and Michigan would be against FSU. Whew damn glad Washington didn't fall in line and lose to Oregon this weekend like they were supposed to. Remember the Ducks were 9.5 point favorites. Glad Miami (OH) suited up as a 7.5 underdog to Toledo in the MAC Championship. Hell I am glad Alabama showed up to Atlanta too because they were 5-point underdogs to Georgia.
I agree with points above but it won’t be about a power 5 team going undefeated while beating two SECs schools in non-conference. It will be about a two loss team that didn’t even get to their conference championship game.
Like right now it would be do you take OU or Ole Miss.
You’re not wrong - there is going to be debate just like there is with March Madness at nearly 70 teams. It will just be not quite this level.

Perception told me that Ohio State was better than Michigan State in 2015 but guess what game results mattered and Sparty got in.
Greg McElroy talking about how hard it is for a team to overcome subpar QB play.
Reminder that he went 6/11 for 58 yards and 0 TDs with like a 25 QBR in the 2010 natty.
This is just sickening

Oh if they could have found a way to keep texas out (and put in both bama/georgia) they would have. Had Texas beaten another high quality team instead that was not Alabama (And alabamas loss was similarly not to texas) they probably would have.
But there was no way to put in Alabama and not put in the team that beat them head to head.

And like I said before, FSU played TWO P5 non-conference games; both SEC to boot. It’s not their fault if LSU and Florida underperformed this year.
Who else in the playoff conversation played TWO P5 non-conference games?
Bama non-con: Texas (1), Middle Tennessee State, Austin Peay, Chattanooga
Texas non-con: Alabama (1), Rice, Wyoming
Georgia non-con: Tennessee-Martin, Ball State, UAB, Georgia Tech (1)
Ohio State non-con: Youngstown State, Western Kentucky, Notre Dame (1)
Michigan non-con: East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling Green (that’s zero)
Washington non-con: Boise State, Tulsa, Michigan State (1)
Oregon non-con: Portland State, Texas Tech (1), Hawaii
