Almost. Why does it not surprise us that Alabama got in? I would not have been too surprised if they left Texas out also. That would probably have been too obvious that the fix was in.

They were ranked number two. Number one loses. So they move up. Doesn’t matter, the championship will be a rematch from earlier this year.
Well, one thing's for certain - if we weren't already getting the 12-team playoff starting next year, this year's result would have guaranteed that an expanded playoff was coming.
And it's effectively a Big 10 vs SEC playoff. Puke.

If I was Florida St. it would be really tempting to show up at the Rose Bowl ready to play and no show at the New Years 6 bowl they are assigned to. Don’t tell anyone so they can’t adjust teams to fill in that game and create as big of a spectacle as possible. What’s the worst that happens for them, the ACC doesn’t get the payout for that NY6 game?
The Patriots shouldn't have made the playoffs in 2001 without their top quarterback Drew Bledsoe. Sure they've won some games since then but Tom Brady hasn't looked that impressive and does anybody really think they can beat the Rams lead by MVP Kurt Warner?
I know they are not being quiet how they feel about the ACC. What happened this morning doesn’t change any of the actual hurdles that are keeping them there.
If I'm FSU, I start recruiting other schools to my side to conspire and bring forth the end of the NCAA.
That's not all of it. It's also about money and the pecking order of things.
Things are now back in synchrony.
I love this quote by the committee chairman:
“Florida State is a different team than they were through the first 11 weeks."
Let's see ... FSU was undefeated after the first 11 weeks .... Now? Still undefeated.

Even taking the argument at face value, They also wouldn't be the team they were yesterday. They were down to their third string QB yesterday, but they'd get back their #2 in time for the playoff
Or at a minimum, get rid of the subjective factor of the committee. At least when it was decided by the BCS computers, everyone understood the rules. It wasn't a perfect system, but at least it wasn't corrupt.
I'm not shocked, and upset probably isn't quite the right word. I said a few times leading up to it that the right thing to do is include FSU but that there was also no way the committee would do the right thing. Just because I knew what would happen doesn't mean I thought it was the right decision.
Because you have to keep up the charade that the whole process is unbiased and objective until the very last minute when you have to make crap up to make sure an SEC team is included
Rece Davis and his smug face touts this line every year. "The thing that would resolve the subjectivity is computers instead of a committee made up of people. Well we had that and you all didn't like it." Jesus some people are stupid. Almost nobody hated the computer part of the BCS. We all just wanted it to be more than a two-team playoff. It doesn't need to be said anymore but they just needed to expand the field and keep the BCS formula.
Texas would have been left out in BCS.
It gets Florida State in, but it still has the problem of Alabama in over Texas when Texas has the head to head. So there would still be some controversy over it
