    It’s a power 5 and 4 spots, one team was missing out. The conference that won the championship the last few probably wasn’t getting snubbed. If Georgia won they probably kept Texas out.

      I agree that that is probably what would have happened. But the 4 team playoff system, which is ending this year, was set up so the committee could consider things like strength of schedule and player injuries which both killed FSU.

      The only fair outcome, if the committee was actually “fair”, would have been to leave out Michigan for FSU. I know they probably are the best team this year, that doesn’t excuse the cheating.

      Sucks for Norvell and all the FSU players and fans
