Do the same for FSU and they have 2 in the top 20. To reach their top 6 you have to go all the way to 47th. One 24th, 32nd, 38th, and 47th to round out their top 6.
Sure FSU went "undefeated". But comparing a 12-1 Bama against an undefeated FSU is like comparing apples to chicken eggs.
The committee absolutely got it wrong. But, they got it wrong way before today. FSU should have never been in the top 4 to begin with. Dare I argue even the top 10. Liberty is 13-0 and ranked 24th. The win over LSU would keep them above 13th. But they should have been somewhere around 9-12 IMO.
Now all they need to do is show up and hammer GA to prove the committee got it wrong. But if you have watched any Ga and FSU football, you know that's isn't going to be an easy task.

Leaving FSU out was the right call. Barely best Florida. Best Louisville but it wasn't pretty. I saw what Joe saw. Dropped balls, etc. Georgia struggling against Ga tech didn't help them any. Bama is not the Bama I've seen in the past. Then again, even the undefeated or 1 loss teams were riding the struggle bus this year. Bama just squeaked out wins. UM never got tested until the last 4 games. Those weren't 4 pretty games or dominating games. BUT. . . .they took care of business and remained undefeated.
I just don't see much of a valid argument for FL State. The committee is supposed to choose the "four best teams." FL State isn't one of them.

I agree on the 4 best teams getting I. But dear God, ESPN's Fpi is a joke if ND is 10th. They have A&M 14th. It's laughable. After michigan beat osu last week they actually moved osu to #1. They only moved michigan ahead after beating Iowa. It's terrible
Good article and he makes a great point, why did the committee have FSU at #4 last week, if they were really not #4? You don't move them down when they win the next week.
Committee snubbing unbeaten Florida State makes a mockery of College Football Playoff
The CFP decision to take one-loss Alabama over unbeaten FSU wasn’t just imperfect. It stinks and is downright shady, dripping with SEC favoritism.

I wonder if FSU is going to put a 2023 National Champions sign in their stadium, a National Champions parade at Disney, and an official National Champs FSU Florida license plate.
.
Kyle McCord enters the portal. OSU must already have a guy. Not really an Elite option out there as of yet. Cam Ward maybe, but rumors are Oregon already backed up the Brinks truck
The game between GA and FSU will not be a good measure as I am sure both teams will have players sitting out.
The hate should be toward the flawed system. 4 best teams got in IMO. I'd love for Michigan to be playing FSU instead. I think the 12 team system will still have a few teams pitching, but at that point your probably a 2-3 loss team and have nobody to blame but yourself
I'll tell you where the FSU hatred should be directed: Auburn. They couldn't defend Bama's receivers, only rushing TWO at the QB, on 4th and goal from Huntsville. And they still allowed a TD throw and lose to Bama. That loss would have eliminated the Tide.
In all honesty, I don't think this situation was all that complicated. Rank the P5 conferences, top to bottom. I'm not sure how you rank 1-4, but I'd bet most people have the ACC #5 behind the SEC, Big 10, PAC 12, and Big 12. If the ACC is the 5th best conference, why should their champion be included over any of the other 4 just because FSU is undefeated? When your biggest win of the year was in the opening week of the season over the 3rd place team from the SEC West, it's just not that impressive. They haven't been impressive for a while, and with Travis out, I don't think they stood much of a chance against any of the top 4 teams.

They would too. Did you see the video of the UM team watching the CFP announcement live. You could have heard a pin drop when #4 was announced.

That's a good way of looking at it also. Personally I don't think FSU should have been there to begin with. The CFP screwed up but it was week 9, not Sunday.

Other side of the room with the players.
I'm pulling for the big ten, so I'll be rooting for TTUN. That response by the players is disheartening. Rightfully so, I suppose. Bama been a worthy foe for ANYONE in recent years.
