Florida State got absolutely roasted. Wow. I understand the argument of the injured QB. They go undefeated, win their Championship game and you put Alabama in ahead of them. The Athletic Director at FSU said it correct in his comments. It's unbelievable. The committee is subjective and has a big bias towards SEC. Performance on the field and record is supposed to matter.

Yeah that is big time BS.

It's wrong IMO. Neither Georgia or Alabama deserved it this year. You can have 1 year without the SEC. They don't need to be in every year and this year they didn't deserve it. Not above Florida State. Glad they put Texas in because they deserved it. Michigan and Washington were obvious picks to be in.

Bama needs to win the whole thing to shut everyone up .

The committee was right to put in Bama. They have victories over #6, #11, #13 and #25 and it's loss was to #3. FSU has wins over #13, #16 and with their qb out just doesn't appear to be a playoff team.

FSU got robbed... Wow

If you pick a weak schedule for your team it ought to impact, in some way.

Aren't scheduled picked a few years in advanced? Is it FSU fault the normally tough teams had a bad year?

Have no problem with Alabama getting in to be honest. They deserved it.

Sucks for FSU...but rather watch Michigan v Alabama. Easy fix is - expand the playoffs to 6 or 8 teams. It's not that difficult.

If there's any consolation, it's that they move to a 12-team playoff seeding next season

I want a real playoff
1-25
2-24
And so on

I'm done with college football..that's it

So the team that beat the 2 time defending champions who hadn't lost a game in over 2 seasons and had the 5th rank sos didn't deserve a spot but FSU did because they went 13-0 with the 55th ranked sos? What about Liberty they went 13-0 aswell.

I was reading on the NCAA website about how the format will work - this is as close to what you'd like to see:

• The field will include the six highest-ranked conference champions, which will receive automatic bids.
• The top four teams among these will receive a first-round bye to the quarterfinals.
• The six highest-ranked teams remaining will round out the 12-team format.

For the remaining eight teams, the first round of games will take place at either the home field of the higher-seeded
team or another site designated by the higher-seeded program.

Here's an example of what the first round might look like:

• No. 12 Missouri at No. 5 Washington
• No. 11 Penn State at No. 6 Oregon
• No. 10 Ole Miss at No. 7 Texas
• No. 9 Oklahoma at No. 8 Alabama

The winners of these games will move on to face teams No. 1 through 4. Teams will not be reseeded. This means
that the top-ranked team would proceed to face the winner of the No. 9 and No. 8 matchup.

The quarterfinal games and two Playoff Semifinal games will be played in bowls on a rotating basis. For example, the 2024
quarterfinals will be the Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. The 2024 semifinals will be the Cotton Bowl
and Orange Bowl. The 2025 quarterfinals will be the Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. The 2025
semifinals will be the Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl.

Congratulations to Alabama on another national championship

So SoS is based on ranking at time of game? Awful way to rank SoS

but

FSU best the #5, 16 and 14 team

Texas beat #3, 24, 23, and 18
