but they are undefeated and the ACC champs. It’s just weird to not have any SEC team in the playoff. Oh well Bama lost to Texas so I couldn’t see Bama getting that spot.

probably was. Their defense won the game, they went through their season undefeated. The committee should have allowed them to keep playing. Bad call.

If they defeat Georgia in their bowl game there will be a cloud on who are the real national champions. Again.

It’s musical chairs. When the music stopped, FSU was left standing.

Twelve teams next year. The argument won’t stop, but they will be discussing less relevant teams.

I never thought they should be included in the top four.

They were unwatchable last night. I'm not surprised they were left off of the top four, but I am surprised the committee had the guts to make that call

I don’t think I’ve seen them play this year.

Their D must be good. But when I saw the he 16-6 scored I cringed a bit.

TV pays the way and no one wants to watch FSU play and get smoked by Michigan. It was a business decision.

So, knowingly leaving out a legitimate contender for more money is what you think the committee did?

No one wants to see if the undefeated team wins it all? Gotta say I don’t agree.

Not sure if any of the other 4 teams could win with their third string qback!

The committee excluded an undefeated Power 5 conference champion for the first time since the advent of the BCS/CFP era that began 25 years ago.

Why? Because TV AD execs have their noses up Saban's a$$! Football team talent is now to be forever more decided by TV ratings. FSU is the first dominoe to fall.

Next year, it could be YOUR team!

I'm sure the committee sought out the advice of Samuel Alito when it comes to stare decisis!
