Florida St really got fucked over by that early season Texas win over Bama. If Texas would have beaten anyone else with that noncon game - even if it was Ohio State or Oregon...i think I Texas would have been left out.
I think that the committee REALLY wanted this 4:
- Michigan
- Washington
- SEC champion
- Florida State
The SEC champ was never ever ever ever ever going to get left out of this CFP. ESPN/SEC run the thing. So Alabama is your 1-loss SEC champ - fine, they're in. And FSU is your 4th team at 14-0.
I think the committee would have preferred this 4. Problem is, Texas beat Bama, so they felt like they couldn't leave Texas out. So FSU gets fucked. This royally sucks for them because if UGA won yesterday I GUARANTEE you that Texas would have been left out for FSU. I don't blame the Noles for being very pissed off.
If you accept that the SEC champ has a guaranteed spot, an 13-0 ACC champ should be in over a 12-1 B12 champ.
