The punishment should be losing games if the QB situation is such a big deal. That didn’t happen.
If an OL gets injured and a team's running game takes a huge dip for a few games....what then?
The Michigan QB looked pretty pedestrian last night....they didn't drop any.

Late to the party but a couple thoughts
Leaving FSU out is the correct move in this season. But if the committee was going to do this, they should have dropped them before the championship game.
Thank god we didn’t get two SEC teams. I think this is the most intriguing playoff since the first couple.
Lastly, I hate the idea that Texas probably makes the championship game, but at least it counts as a big 12 one.

I would say they have a strong case if they beat Georgia and Texas or Alabama otherwise win the “National Championship” game. Of course, if they lose to Georgia, the committee will be basically proven right.
That’ll be the narrative. But we all have seen where these bowls are just as much about who wants it than the best team. I’d be surprised if FSU will be fielding anything close to the team they would have had in the playoffs. Guys are going to opt out or just not care that much.
Exactly. The media might hype up their bowl as their chance to prove the committee wrong. But neither FSU nor Georgia are going to be giving the game their best shot.
FSU scheduled 2 SECs and it didn’t help them.
Yeah it’s a lot of luck.
Going forward I think the best big 12 and ACC teams should try to play some series or neutral site against big 10/sec if they can. A loss won’t matter for the auto bid and a win could force the biased committee to give an at large spot.
Hopefully there are some perennial powers that emerge.
Fiancee for 12 years? Lol

One of my all-time favorites. Leach was one of a kind. RIP.
And to think he was the OC at Iowa Wesleyan under a Hal Mumme in the late 80’s early 90’s
Former WVU/Houston coach Dana Holgersen was a player on that team.
Bill Connelly wrote a great article about the takeaways from this weekend, but the main one and first section of the article talks about the Florida State snub and how wrong it actually was. It's behind the ESPN+ paywall, but if you have ESPN+ give it a read. He lays out actual data and metrics and examples all over the place as to why this decision was basically a bunch of *********.

Connelly: Why Florida State got a raw deal, how Bama beat Georgia and other champ game takeaways
Bill Connelly digs in on the CFP committee's big blunder, the Tide beating the unbeatable, how Washington and Texas made the playoff and more key storylines.

You mean - FSU isn't the same team without their starting QB. It doesn't matter that the rest of the team stepped up when their top two QBs went down, and they still won out and won their conference championship game.
When the committee chair was asked about Michigan during the Harbaugh suspension, he said something to the effect of "the players stepped up and led them during his absence," and the committee took that into account.
Wait a minute - isn't that the same thing FSU did when their starting QB and second-string QB got hurt? The team stepped up and found ways to win games against two P5 teams by playing stellar defense.

Heck no. I want Akron, Kent State and ULM every year. Games don't matter.
Get me 3-0 every off-season, then if I win 6-7 games in a P5 in league, I'm 9-3 and or 10-2 and have a really strong chance of getting in if even at 6-3 I'm in the conference title game. And worst case scenario I'm winning 9 games a year
