It's not a "Playoff" if the judges pick the games, it's a "competition" between 4 teams that the judges chose.
FR
Do you want the computers to “judge”
Right
@@djnfbrhkelkondwvb6853I just want the teams without a blemish to get in fair and square.
@@djnfbrhkelkondwvb6853No, how about if your a power 5 team who is undefeated and wins your conference championship. You should already be in the playoffs. The games don’t matter, it’s a popularity contest and who the media wants more than anything.
What happened this season is proof we need the playoff field to be expanded, Florida State and Georgia both have legitimate gripes.
It's proof the college football playoffs has nothing to do with football and just with money. Garbage
@@bookerwills8649 Always has been.
I think they got it right. FS injured, Ga/Texas is the real argument. But based on strength of schedule and health, they got it right imo
@@Renegade15amen
So the 1-4 teams smack everyone else and we get the same 4 teams in the final four ?
I’m not a Florida State fan but an undefeated team that’s in the acc not making the playoffs is unbelievable.
Cry
Who played and beat two SEC teams
It is ridiculous... Shameful and wrong
who did they beat ? compared to the SEC .. I'll wait
Everyone they played my dude
The fact that FSU got punished for someone getting hurt is absolutely crazy
Yea, the fact their schedule was absolute garbage had nothing to do with it.
@@JimBobBobJimmerson Bama needed a miracle to beat a 6 loss team and FSU beat LSU more handily than Bama did
@@trevthegamedev FSU's schedule is ranked 55th in SoS and their best win is LSU, while Bama's was top 5 and LSU would only be a trivial third best on their wins list.
Oof.
Their QB got hurt and their offense STUNK. They just barely beat no.15 ranked Louisville. Sorry man, but that isn't the recipe for a Top 4 ranking in such a close season with 7 or 8 teams all making legit claims for the playoffs.
@@JimBobBobJimmersonthey were in the top 4 basically since they released the initial rankings. To sit here and pretend that losing their QB isn’t why they were dropped is absolutely ridiculous. Michigan sat behind Ohio State and Georgia in the rankings because the meat of their schedule was at the end and they didn’t play anyone to that point… Florida State was still up there. Ahead of even Washington much of the time. All until their QB got hurt.
this is why we needed that 12 team expansion
Still won't matter because 8 of those slots will go to SEC and Big 10 school for money and ratings.
YEARS ago.
And we will get it next year. If FSU was in they would get stomped out by Mich. That injury needed to play a role and it did. So i think this was the correct decision.
But thank baby jesus for expansion
💯!! Thanks to Alabama and Texas for cementing that point!
@@DM-qd7gw you don't know that, all this is guessing. FSU defense is better then 3 of the schools that got in.
Florida State got completely screwed. This is a great example on why the CFP needs to be expanded to at least 8 teams like most league's postseasons are
Expanding it won't fix the problem though. The problem is too many teams and unbalanced, huge conferences. There's going to be similar problems under any expanded playoffs.
FSU would’ve been blown out without Jordan Travis
55th in Strength of Schedule... lmao ACC shouldn't even be a "Power 5" conference
@@strategicsage7694you are wrong expanding it will fix the problem which is the travesty that happened to Florida state! An undefeated power 5 school not making the playoff. Expanding it fixes that
@@OperationPitbull Per Howell,. the ACC is extremely close to the Big 12 in quality and not far behind the Big 10. The gap between ACC and the best G5 conference, Sun Belt, is over twice the gap between the SEC and the ACC. In other words, yes they absolutely should be.
I get that they always say they want the best teams as FSU isn’t as good as Bama without their QB… but you can not say one team is better when the results on the field should matter. The way they look at things has to be overhauled. This was a disgrace to sport and competition that a committee could subjectively disregard results on the field.
So disregard Alabama beating the Committees #1 ranked team in their backyard?
Results on the field do matter which is why Texas got in over FSU also. FSU struggled to beat Louisville. They put up 3 points in an entire half and didn't score their first touchdown until almost midway thru the 3rd. FSU had a 55th SOS, worst of the entire top 8. Louisville got upset by Kentucky, who didnt struggle offensively, who also got absolutely dog walked by Bama. If FSU would've beat Louisville 42-10 or something like Texas did to OKST, the committee would've probably put them in and said well the QB isn't an issue the offense still works. But they didn't.
@@tycalvert6011they had a common opponent LSU. Who won by more points? Who went undefeated. If you put both teams without the name. I would choose FSU based on undefeated and better result on common opponent
@@tycalvert6011, yes.
Alabama _barely_ beat three unranked teams by 3 points, and those teams were Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Auburn, a game that took a miracle to happen, no less. And they only beat unranked South Florida 17-3. So their supporters shouldn't talk about FSU "barely" doing _anything._
@@MaftaFPS, read my response to tycalvert6011.
The music just makes it more suspenful 😅😂
Another factor is Florida State held the number 4 position in the rankings for sometime . Also you can't judge quarterback play today when the game is a month away and given time to improve . What happens if one of the teams loses a quarterback to injury at practice . Do you remove them and place the next team in as a alternate .
My thought is they could not leave a sec team out of the playoffs . To much revenue lost . This was a business decision
SEC football is different... just look at the SOS rankings... FL. St. 55th?
@@lakeozarkrei3767the committee knew the SOS last week but sill ranked FSU over Bama, but now Bama jumps 4 spots and is better than FSU on one win. Make that make sense.
@@BigRobWillexactly! Nothing but politics/$$$
@BigRobWill They did... but Bama hadn't beat the #1 team in the country and FSU hadn't barely beat the #14 team last week... right? Last week was last week... this week is this week.
This ain't rocket science.
@justarepublicandog2505 No... with their Heisman Trophy candidate QB sure... but nobody wants to see one of the other 4 teams basically get an automatic bye playing FSU in a semi final game.
I love how disappointed the Michigan locker room looked after they found out they we're playing Bama. 😂
Wow good job mrcoody. Emotion reader!
@@awilliams5007 Thanks dad!
@@MrCody6925Love it!!!
They were shocked fsu was leeft you morons. Even Mochigan reported on that. Inbreds 😂@charliecopeland390
Yeah,, but Bama is a better matchup for Michigan,, should be a terrific game
I live in Washington and thrilled the huskies are playing in the Semifinals, HOWEVER they should playing FSU. A team that did everything asked of it should not be excluded solely on the basis of losing their quarterback. There's dozens of other players & coaches that worked their butts off and should be rewarded. FSU has a GREAT defense and defenses win championships... except Florida State. They were robbed of their opportunity.
you would much rather play them I am sure than the Texas team you have to meet I don't doubt at all.
@@GiasJuliilmao right?! Sounds like Washington is scared playing TX
I think you're missing the point... I never said Texas wasn't deserving.
Its funny because Alabama Will put 50 on everybody in The play-offs, both bama and georgia would destroy everybody.
@@henriquecosta9980lol took yall a miracle to beat auburn.. pls sit down sir and humble yourself.
As a longhorn, FSU got shafted. I feel so bad for them. SEC bias is real.
wdym ur joining the SEC next year there gonna Bia for Texas too u know
Lol. Dude you jumped em also.
Its abt the better team and entertainment value at the end of the day
Nobody wants to see another tcu
We are the best. ACC sucks
If Bama or Texas lost their starting quarterback and went 13-0 would that be held against them or would they be praised for overcoming adversity?
Exactly. It's bs.
THANK YOU!!
Who is the backup qb for Florida state. 😂 Texas got Archie manning we got Simpson what are you on about
If Bama or Texas lost their quarterback and played Louisville, they still would have scored more than 16. FSU is a joke compared to Texas or Alabama.
No doubt.
Shame on the committee. Shame on them. Like if you agree with me.
It needed to be 8 teams from the very beginning. 4 is a very small sample size when a potential champion could be lurking at 5 or 6. Good thing they're going to 12 teams next year.
Fun Fact. Cardale Jones lead Ohio St to win the 2015 national championship under the new format. He was the 3rd string qb. What they're saying is a cop out.
Who is Ohio state? 😂
Fun fact: Cardale Jones first start was in the BIG 10 championship game; he threw for 3 TDs and OSU won 59-0. By comparison, the FSU QB was 8/21 for 53 and FSU won 16-6.
Other fun fact: Stop trying to compare a great OSU team who dominated with a 3rd stringer, to an FSU team that limped there way through an extremely weak ACC schedule, it just makes you look foolish.
but but but Bama is Bama you saw them dominate a six loss Auburn last week. Pleeeeaaaasssseee SEC bias@@mathewmckenna297
@@mathewmckenna297exactly. It's an asinine comparison and i hate OSU. They also proved they belonged by winning it all.
@@26michaeluk An opportunity that FSU has been denied.
I see why Bama is there but I also see why Florida State has a problem with it. 13-0 conference champs ranked ahead of Bama pretty much the entire season just to get skipped on the last day. Good thing the playoffs are being expanded.
What would Michigan's, Texas's, and Alabama's records be if they played in the ACC?
More to the point is that the ACC sucks.
This is literally the first year where I sympathize with a team getting left out
@@niss2142acc had a winning record against sec this year.
Yeah but they'd get beat by 25 by any of these teams without their starting QB. I can't believe they kicked GA from 1 to 6. Georgia is OBVIOUSLY stil a top 3-4 team and would probably beat Alabama 3/4 times.
Where is FSU ? They are literally undefeated like Michigan, how are they basing this off a missing person on the team
They cut em off but dude was completely right
U gotta think about those kids
Bama lost to Texas they would have understood that
FLORIDA STATE DIDN'T LOSE A FN GAME
Definitely needed a 6 team playoff this year at the very least if not 8.
How would you do a 6 team play off
@@geezyeskabanteimo wolverines & Washington would get a by. 3/6 & 4/5 would face each other.
your worrying me asking this question lol the only way a playoff doesnt work is with odd numbers 6 teams would work, 8 teams would work and every other even number you can think of. @@geezyeskabante
6. Just size 6. 8 max.
@@justarandominternetdude2579 Exactly
Imagine the seniors of that team 😢
They have 65 year old players?
They get AARP benefits so they'll be fine.
That’s real bro. I’d be sick!
Bama sucks....WOOF!!!!!
They should have had an offense, they literally cured insomnia of everyone in the country with that ACC conference game. They would lose to any team in top 4 by 40.
Absolutely terrible 🤬....there is no reason for down grading a team who you had ranked 4th, won their championship game, and stayed undefeated. Disrespectful
Do you think FSU should reject all bowl invitations after this?
Did you watch them play last night?
That game last night was ugly and they played Louisville. My team really sucks bad and we beat Louisville
@@rolltideroll68Defense was lights out, and QB2 would be back for playoffs.
FSU has to beat Georgia then to make a statement.
Beautiful moment when he looked at his family and smiled with pride
I can’t wait for the 12 team playoff! Everything will be so much better
No actually it won't. There will be very similar problems.
@@strategicsage7694no there won’t, even 12 is too many. There’s gonna be a lot of meaningless games.
It should have already been a staple.
It will be so much better to see FSU get blown out with a backup Qb and ole miss get blown out by a top team like they did against Georgia. Also Penn St gets rewarded for beating zero ranked teams and losing to Ohio St and Michigan like always.
It will still be a problem. It would just be Team 13 that is fycked
This was 100% a business decision. FSU not being in it is devastating.
So they can dropped off lol. You clowns are sad
Yeah… what were they supposed to do? They beat every opponent they faced. It’s BS
That doesn’t matter buddy the bottom line is they’re not a top 4 team and it’s no secret they’d get stretched by any of the other 7 in the top 8 they beat irrelevant schools all year and Lost their QB No shot they win against Georgia and even lesser a shot at beating the top 4
Forget FSU. There schedule was much more weaker then ALA & Texas. Next time don’t play USM & North Alabama!!
Put money on FSU to beat Georgia then…
Florida State got robbed. All because the CFP has a hard on for Bama.
Roll Tide
Beat the number one team in the country and u think they don’t deserve it is wild💀
FSU would get smoked by 21+ by every team in the CFP, sorry you dont like it
Look at fsu last night. They were terrible, especially against Louisville, my friend.
Injury = sorry whoel team has to suffer like what Lmao🤣
I think teams with 10+ wins should get a crack in the playoffs, like next year if they expand it, or maybe put all ranked teams in the Playoffs and find away to even it out? So many ways to make the playoffs better! GO BLUE!
If FSU would’ve beaten Louisville by 35, they might’ve had a better chance at being #4 but their offense looked terrible and they cannot beat any of the top 8 teams. 🤷🏾♂️
Everyone seems to ignore this was their third string QB. Their second string QB was on concussion protocol and would be back in for the game. He beat Florida at Florida.
@@chrislong7590beat Florida at Florida 😂 is that supposed to mean something? 😂 Georgia beat Florida at Florida to.
@@chrisbeach423No they didn’t, that game was in Jacksonville.
So Bama needs a miracle to beat a 6 loss team and the committee says “they found a way to win”
FSU beats the Ville with their 3rd string QB and the committee says “they didn’t win by enough points”
@@trevthegamedev While they did barely beat Auburn, that was
a) A rivalry game which always tend to be unpredictable.
b) The game before they beat Georgia (The #1 team in the country and winners of 29 straight).
If FSU beat them convincingly maybe they could’ve stomached the possibility of having the ‘Noles at 4. However, when you combine the fact that FSU won ugly with Alabama having only 1-loss as SEC Champ AND not wanting a repeat of TCU vs Georgia…..it makes sense, it’s not fair but it makes sense.
If an SEC team went 13-0, lost their QB, and barely won their conference championship game, I feel that the committee would put in that SEC team. Y'all did FSU and their fan base wrong. Should probably expand the playoff to 8 teams to get Powerfive champs in and include all deserving teams. I'm a Texas fan and this Playoff lineup is awesome. It's tainted without a deserving FSU.
ACC
110%
@@treyberry1026except for when FSU beats 2 of them
Good point!
It wasn't exactly a record-breaking SEC year. They collectively lost a lot of big out-of-conference games.
We all know FSU would probably get spanked. BUT what happened to “we don’t punish teams for injuries?”
strength of schedule and eye test play a big factor too
The committee literally shared a caveat that the loss of a key player would factor into their rankings. In writing, they confirmed it.
after the interview Greg Sankey had yesterday, they had to.
We know the power five is a myth. It's the SEC, the Big 10 a tep below and everyone else
They literally said injuries are to be considered by the CFB playoff committee
The committee’s rules have always stated that injuries that might affect playoff performance will be taken into account when making the final rankings. Whether you agree with it or not, this isn’t some new rule that the committee just made up last night.
My question to each of you is if you were the head coach of either FSU or Georgia, would you risk an injury to your star athletes playing next year by having them participate in the consolation game? Already earned the $6 million for the conference so I would give the second and third stringers some experience and also offer some "boosters," who contributed at least $1 million, a chance to suit up and kick a field goal. All about the money anyway! 😊
I won't speak for UGA, but if I'm FSU I think they have two options. 1. IF they get buy in from their players that they want to make a statement and have no opt outs then I think they should play and do everything they can to make the committee look foolish
2. If some of their star players want to opt out and prep for the bowl than I would show up to South Beach, give the seniors a vacation. Have a mini-camp for the underclassmen, and refuse to take the field in protest.
Neither team should even touch the field. Send out the cheerleaders and marching bands to collect the consolation checks. Middle finger to the CFP from both teams.
So happy to see them longhorns!
So the message that every team should take away is that if you loose a starting quarterback late in the season you should hang up your championship hopes. The rest of your season does not matter, what you as a team achieved does not matter. This current iteration of the committee should see itself out as they have shown they are on par the BCS system.
Yes, if you lose your starting QB and your backup who most likely be playing looks like hot garbage, then yest you lose your championship hopes. Injuries happen all the time. Should games just be delayed because a starting player gets injured?
I wasn't aware that the QB is the only position on the field that affects the outcome of games. By this logic anytime a team in any sport loses a starting player and their backup plays subpar on short notice that team should be disqualified from post season play. @@mathewmckenna297
@@mathewmckenna297 doesn’t take away from the fact that the team itself earned an opportunity to play. Just cause people may think Alabama would beat FSU without Travis doesn’t negate FSU being unbeaten and winning the ACC. The committee is playing minority report and punishing teams now for future predictions rather than what has already happened.
@@mathewmckenna297wasn’t that long ago Ohio State won it all with their third string qb so don’t tell me it can’t be done smh
uh no, maybe just let them play with whatever qb they have available. they earned that #4 spot and let's be honest...they chose Alabama only cause they are hoping tor a Texas/Alabama rematch for ratings@@mathewmckenna297
This would have been a great year for the 8 team playoff
I never thought I'd see 3 power five conference teams go undefeated along with 4 more having just one loss during the regular season, considering there was no one dominant team in the SEC, Big 10, Big 12 and Pac-12. Relatively speaking, Michigan can be considered dominant in the B1G, but so can Ohio State. Washington dominated teams in the Pac-12--yet Oregon dominated everyone else. I predicted Texas would do a cakewalk over all of their Big 12 opponents until Oklahoma nearly spoiled their CFP chances. I previously thought Georgia was the dominant team not just in the SEC but in all of college football until they got upset by Alabama in the SEC Championship Game.
However, the ACC did have one dominant team and that was undefeated Florida State. From that perspective, this was the biggest CFP snub of 2023.
That being said, if Florida State beats Georgia in the Orange Bowl, that would make the CFP committee look like idiots for not including FSU in the CFP.
@@kokoleka808, if FSU ends up beating Georgia, all of the so-called "experts" and Alabama supporters will pull out the same tired, copout of an excuse, "Well, they just weren't up to the task because they were disappointed by their season's outcome." 🙄
This is exactly why we needed a larger playoff so the committee didn’t have to deal the that 💩
100% one of the biggest robberies in the history of the sport. FSU deserved a chance to play for a national title, and it was taken from them. This will never be forgotten.
Crazy how they honored Cincinnati and TCU the last 2 years for doing their job.... now this year they punish a more storied and better program than both bc an SEC team would be on the outside looking in. The problem with the committee is there's no consistency or reasoning.
Liberty was 13-0. Why are you not crying for them?
@@mathewmckenna297 well I'm not a big crier to begin with... seems like something you know a lot about tho. Liberty isn't being mentioned for obvious reasons... hope this helps slugger
There is NO way that 13-0 FSU should not be in the CFP. It's even more impressive that they were able to finish the season undefeated after losing their starting QB - that shows just how good they are as an overall football team. Judging them by whether or not they have their starting QB healthy is irrelevant - football is a TEAM sport! FSU has players on both sides of the ball that have a legitimate shot at playing on Sundays. This system needs to be expanded to at least an 8 team playoff, so this type of situation never happens again...
Like I told your buddy. Starting next year, it’s go be the 12 team format.

Alabama _barely_ beat three unranked teams by 3 points, and those teams were Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Auburn, a game that took a miracle to happen, no less. And they only beat unranked South Florida 17-3. So their supporters shouldn't talk about FSU "barely" doing _anything._
I can't believe that Alabama got in instead of Florida state, if I was a Florida state fan I would be pissed. If you are too concerned about the injuries now then why weren't you 3, 2 ,or 1 week ago. If you think that Florida state was one of the best 4 teams without there QB last week then why aren't they know? They proved that they could win games and a top 5 conference championship without their star QB. I think that if you are in a top 5 Conference and you win your conference and are undefeated it's then it's not right to not put them at a top 4 team. So therefor I think Florida state should be in.
The four best pay off teams made it to the playoffs.
I'm with Booger. Bama in and FSU out is an outrage.
Quit crying
FSU plays Georgia in the orange bowl. Everyone will find out why FSU didn’t get in. If FSU actually slapped Louisville then this conversation don’t happen. Louisville played so bad I don’t even know how there ranked. People need to be real with themselves. This entire top 4 would slap FSU
ROLL TIDE BOY 😂
No it isn't Florida state is a joke they suck look at the eye test and strength of schedule
@@hunterkimbrotop 15 would slap fsu tbh😂😂
The committee changes their opinions quicker than a hummingbird beats its wings. They let in an Ohio State team with a 3rd string QB in year one of the playoff when everyone thought TCU was better and they won the national championship. You never know.

I’m just impressed ESPN used the instrumental from NF’s track Hope in the background.
Two teams with a loss getting in over Florida State is a freaking travesty. I guarantee that if Alabama lost Milroe and squeked out a win over a team like Louisville, ESPN would be singing their praises instead saying, "bUt iNjuRiEs"
fsu sucks
Finally someone who I can agree with
ESPN owns the TV rights to the SEC it’s the only reason it’s like this it’s literally sports propaganda it’s a travesty and I’m a buckeyes fan

Now that the championship matchup will take place Monday, I’m understanding better the reason(s) why Alabama got in and FSU was left out:
Because injuries are taken into consideration and we see the team before and after injury, it was clear FSU as a team was affected notably and because they didn’t have Jordan Travis, they really only had one or two games to evaluate on for Tate Rodemaker and Brock Glenn and those games they clearly were a different team than the other 11 that they had Jordan Travis. Each team that got in had its top contributors and important skill players, and was able to function nearly as well if they had any losses. The main loss any of the top 4 teams had near the end was Zak Zinter of Michigan and against OSU, they scored 13 points after his injury after having 17 before. They scored 26 against Iowa after 30 vs OSU, and post CFP reveal, 27 against Alabama. They still were consistent despite the injury. FSU wasn’t and that’s how I’m seeing it a month later. It isn’t a fair world but reflecting back, it was the right thing to do.
Can't wait for Michigan vs. Alabama.. .
This is why the extension of the playoffs are needed and should solve this problem in the future
Still going to have a garbage committee choosing the teams. So next year 10 SEC teams get in?? Let's throw in Vanderbilt while we're at it, committee.
The problem is that you'll have like 2-3 extra weeks of playoffs, increasing injury risks. Easier for basketball, but football is different.
@jayngo26 sec has won 13 of last 16 National Championships. Only other team to win that wasn't in the Southeastern US was Ohio State with Urban Meyer who heavily recruited players from the south 😁 SEC >
As long as a committee chooses, there will be whining.
True. Hopefully 6 teams will leave very little doubt.
I’m sooo glad we don’t have to deal with this JOKE of a system moving forward. Seriously.
And I’m a Georgia fan saying that.
College football is only sport I know who uses this moronic formula of just picking playoff teams. That’s why it is not nearly as fun to watch as nfl.
So you saying fsu is a better team than bama? Salty much. Enjoy sitting at home watching us smack Michigan around
@@StealthTRDthis is why nobody likes bama,you’re too stupid to realize how tragic this is
No one can tell me Georgia is not a top 4 team in America. The have a better resume than Texas and a better loss than Texas
@IanGaryisagoofysimp idk Michigan has a great shot at beating Bama. Texas is going to smoke Washington.
I think Florida State got left out because of the injury and then started a true freshman with 4 plays under his belt. That to me was the straw that broke the camel's back. I know you can't please everyone but 13 wins and no losses speaks for itself! I'm heartbroken for Florida State. But, then again, Alabama beat the returning two time champions! I would not like to be on the selection committee! What a tough decision! The only way this decision, to me, will be justified is for Alabama to win it all. I just feel bad for all those players for Florida State! I think the Georgia Bulldogs got ripped off as well! They don't even get the opportunity to defend their two time , back to back championships! Just my thoughts.
Georgia and Ohio st would have been a good game ESPN can't let that happen because the ratings would have been better than the CFP games.
In hindsught, after seeing how bad OSU was against Missouri, it's safe to say that they would've been obiterated by UGA. It probably would've been worse than the TCU game lmfao
We needed an 8 team playoff this year
In a few years it'll be 32 teams and in a couple decades it'll be 64 team playoff. Money rules.
The irony is that the ACC was in part responsible for the playoff not starting this year.
12 man playoff next year already confirmed
No what we need is for this myth that an SEC team must get in, to die. FSU got robbed.
@@MountainMan. there should be, do you know who many meaningless bowl games there are? 43, thats 86 teams. 32 would be about right, what that does, it adds more money for these univerities, which are businesses. But the main thing is it takes away control for the richer univerities and the crooked commettee establishment they set up. Thats why they have fought not having more teams for over all those decades, for a monopoly and money.
I don’t care what anyone says, the committee said it’s not about the most deserving it’s about the four best teams. If you can’t look at the playoffs and realized Alabama is not one of the four best teams (who just beat the number one team) you are blind. Alabama would kill fsu. So why put fsu in over bama? You want the 4 best teams? Alabama is better than fsu. Period.
Even though my team got in; I wish they'd expand the playoffs to more if a sweet 16 step instead of a final 4. Give teams that are super good with 1 or 2 losses have a fair shot...
Let's say your favorite NFL team is in a playoff game, and the starting quarterback goes down. The third stringer comes in, and you have a great defense, plus an excellent coach. You end up winning the game by only a field goal to an inferior team. Would any of you be arguing that a great defensive team with a developing quarterback should not go on to the Superbowl? Tell that to Love and Green Bay. It is a team game, let the kids play!
So basically Florida State playing a hypothetical game against team X (UGA, Texas, whatever team you want to say) hypothetically would lose that game because they would be big underdogs in Vegas, and being hypothetical underdogs in a hypothetical game means you would hypothetically be guaranteed to lose… so Florida states hypothetical loss is worse than Bama’s real loss.
Yeah I'm confused too, but if it's just all about $ and who the committee thinks people want to tune in and watch more and not who deserves it, guess I can accept that rationale, no respect, but it makes more sense
fsu will play georgia in a bowl, and the final score is going to be something like 34-3 lmao
Yea FSU is gonna blow uga out and raise a banner in Doak after being voted #1 in the Coaches poll. I agree.@@ryanamburgy2791
@@ryanamburgy2791 Nah, Georgia is going into that game pissed. They are going to make an example of FSU. If UGA scores less than 40 I will be shocked.
@@mathewmckenna297 fsu has an elite defense so idk. FSU is definitely not scoring much at all though
bama was one miracle play(last week) from being a 2-L team, auburn unranked.
Cry me a river we in baby 🤣👌
True, it was a miracle play. But in the Iron Bowl (especially at Auburn), records get tossed out the window. Anything can happen in that game and we saw that play out. Georgia barely escaped with a W in Auburn as well.
So you’re saying that auburn could woudve beat Georgia?
I believe in MIRACLES.. Fortunately so does the CFP Committee.
Yep. Complete and utter joke. I guess crying like Saban does to get his way works.
I just don't understand how an undefeated team ranked 4th, wins its conference championship game against a team ranked 14th, and gets passed in the final rankings by not one but two teams that were ranked 7th and 8th.
42-3 at halftime 😂 FSU would have been the dream playoff match up for any team
Wasn't the same team 😀💥🔫
They dont want another TCU moment in college football
Facts
And that’s exactly what it would have been putting FSU in
TCU beat Michigan. If anything, Michigan shouldn’t be in losing to TCU.
Revisionist drivel. TCU earned their way to the Championship Game by beating Michigan.
So what your saying is they should of left out Michigan and TCU
I am upset for Florida State and I am not even an FSU fan. This is absolutely outrageous. Alabama must have paid somebody some good money.
Fsu gonna get destroyed in a new years 6 vs oregon or georgia, chill
Nah they beat Georgia
@@georgebrady5369 🤣💀
Yea let’s use the Bama must have paid someone story like it hasn’t been used until it’s wore out..Bama is one of the 4 best teams get over it
No, Alabama just beat the #1 team in the country, no money exchanged
These rankings are jacked up. Going out with a bang i guess.
I enjoyed watching both semifinal games in the Rose and Sugar this year.
I hope Monday's final four-team era College Football Playoff National Championship Game is a very good one instead of a lopsided drubbing like the inaugural clash between Ohio State vs. Oregon.
And no one talks about Alabama having to have a miracle play against a 6 win Auburn team after being outplayed all game just the week before. It come down to Mike Norvell vs Nick Saban . Just a power trip.
Stop crying
FSU got the shaft. SEC should have been left out
Not a CoachvCoach thing, it’s a fanbase thing.
Alabama undeniably has more fans (pretty much the entire state of Alabama) and therefore more tv ratings/revenue. It’s all a profit before honor system, that’s what sports has devolved into.
Georgia vs Florida St. (with FSU's current quarterback) who's winning? There's your answer. Not a popular decision, but they got this one right.
It was not a miracle. Milroe knew exactly where he wanted to throw the ball and the WR was open...how is that a miracle?
This wasn’t about FSU’s quarterback. It was about College Football being the SEC & everyone else. If Georgia won, FSU would be there. Texas had to go in to justify the SEC automatic bid…sorry, Alabama.
Texas had a tiebreaker over Alabama, if Bama went and Texas got left hangin', it would be unfair
There are 5 power conferences, one champ had to be left out.
@@otaviofrn_advdon’t worry buddy. You have another chance at seeing Texas get their back blown out in a national championship game again against Alabama. Pretty sure we all remember the start of Alabama’s multi decade dynasty.
FACTS!!!! Why does FSU fall below Texas based on something that happened months ago??
12 teams next year
My hold-up is if they expand the playoff what sort of impact is that going to have on the players? Are they gonna get paid for the extra games? That's my main concern
The biggest problem is that Bama & Georgia should play each other in the regular season,, its crazy and suspicious that they don’t. Georgia won a title last year without playing Alabama and they both are in the SEC,, that was bogus. So I looked at this year SEC championship game as a playoff game for both teams
Because Alabama and Georgia are in different divisions in the SEC. Georgia is on Alabama's schedule for the next to years (home and home) and then another SEC East team will rotate on their schedule. Alabama and Georgia can't play each other every year due to being in different divisions.
I know,, unfortunate though,,
Committee - "we don't punish teams for injuries, undefeated power 5 teams that win their conference are a lock". Also committee - "we have a RAGING hardon for the SEC, so Bama gets in even with a loss". Sorry. I hate Michigan with a passion but I hope they beat bama by 40
As a Michigan fan I agree (except for the second part 😂). The SEC bias is nauseating at best. Saban cried like a baby last year. They couldn't keep him out again. As a Michigan fan I hope we beat them soundly.
Sorry u feel that way roll tide
texas has a loss stop crying
ESPN shares the same hard on for Saban, Alabama, and the SEC. If there was a playoff without an SEC team, ESPN would implode
Michigan is not about to beat Bama 😂
Good thing the playoff is going to 12 teams next year. This is really the first time in the 4-team playoff era where one team certainly…maybe even two teams would get completely screwed no matter how it shook out
TCU got hosed the first year when they put Ohio State in with their 3rd string QB.. so no this is not remotely the first time an extremely deserving team got screwed
8 team playoff would be better tbh
@@nolongerblocked6210 Ohio State won the natty that year btw 🌰
@@Top-Kek and FSU deserves a chance this year, this is shameful & disrespectful to those kids
@@nolongerblocked6210Alabama is just a better team
Even if you get a 6 or eight team playoff, you still are going to get one of these predicaments. What if you do if there is a six team playoff and one powerhouse is at number 1 loses early but comes back to one in week 3 because number 2 and 3 and 4 loses in consecutive games in and on their way down number 1 plays them: 2 and 3 and 4 and they fall to 9 10 and 13 and 2 and 3 just keeps on faltering meanwhile teams from the bottom ranks stay undefeated and make it to the 5 playoff spots behind 1 that lost early but made it back to one in week 3 so you have after 12 weeks you have a (1)11-1 2)12-0 3)12-0 4)13-0 5)12-0 6)11-0. It can happen. I seen it happen.
I’m so happy Georgia beat FSU so bad so all you FSU fans can see why they didn’t get picked for the playoffs. If you watched the FSU vs Louisville game you can’t honestly tell me you think FSU was a playoff team. That game was painful to watch. They can’t hang with the big dogs. It is unfortunate that they didn’t get a shot but I think they made the right decision. HOOK ‘EM!
IM NOT ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE LET ME LIVE PLEASE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
If winning doesn't matter then get rid of the regular season & just pick the teams the committee wants then have a season long tournament. I'm not remotely an FSU fan but they got hosed, "style points" shouldn't matter
An undefeated Power 5 champion getting left out is an absolute travesty.
It's the ACC. Not much power in that conference. Liberty has an undefeated season too.
It's not a travesty because the ACC is a weak conference.
I get that, but man. Feels like they've been punished for things outside of their control.
@@niss2142outside of bama and uga the sec plays a gaggle of cupcakes too
The
I expected that. Being that next ear we are going to 12 team playoffs, this was the last year the committee could control NCAA football. Their last flex before somewhat normalcy.
The 12 team playoff was supposed to start this year but the commissioners of the ACC, Big10 and Pac12 put up roadblocks and it got delayed a year. Also, there will be still be a committee next year and the will select the 6 non conference champion teams.
The committee got it right ✅️
When Ohio State lost their starter they strolled right in. Committee just want the money.
Yep! This is supposed to be a collegiate sport, NOT A BUISNESS. This isn't the NFL. The most deserving team should play. It's really that simple. God I hope michigan absolutely embrasses Bama.
Difference is Ohio State actually looked really good with their 3rd string qb lol
Michigan will get embarrassed. Alabama will likely win. Florida State should of been in and Alabama shouldn't of got in.
So ridiculous to say. Ohio State won 59-0 with their 3rd string quarterback. Have you watched FSU’s last two games?
I agree 95% people gotta realize that its about money but fans forget cuz they dnt wnt the truth. When they started the NIL deal in college I knew it wasn't about the play on the field no more its the NFL Jr now. Anyways the 5% i disagree is Ohio State backup was raw for them in college and FSU quarterbacks behind Travis is trash.
As an LSU fan, FSU deserved to be in the playoffs more than Bama. I’m an SEC guy through and through, but the minute you start prioritizing entertainment and who will be playing over what the teams actually did to earn a spot, that isn’t a legitimate pick.
Put money on FSU to beat Georgia then…
Meh go cry over Les miles glory days
Cry
FSU Got Robbed. Alabama Crimson Tide Didn't Deserve To Get In The College Football Playoff.
"prioritizing entertainment" in this case being "putting the best teams in the top 4"
Watch what Georgia does to FSU before criticizing this choice.
I guess the committee can't afford to have a CFP game with a final score of 50-7.
Eventually they'll just adopt the basketball approach and do a sweet 16 final teams. 16>8>4>2>1. More games, more chance to sell ads and water the sport down further.
Get this - TCU lost their conference championship last year to 2-loss Kansas State. The dropped from 2 to 3, played Michigan in the semifinals and got blown out in the championship. Georgia lost to Bama by 3 in a tough battle and we drop from 1 to 6? The committee is a joke. Absolutely unbelievable. Go Dawgs, sucks their season ended like this.
👍
The difference is the fact that every team looks great this season, a 2 loss team was barely in the top 10 this year while a 5th ranked bama was 2 loss last year. Team strength was crazy but this year
well thats cuz this yr is so full of elite teams. last yr there was a bit more of a departure. i mean... there was even enough room to let ohio state in last yr. so it was much different. they had so much room in the top four that they could let two teams who had lost the last game in. this yr there simply isnt room./ and as an ohio state fan that was hoping to see bama texas and fsu lose to let ohio state in, im upset but understand that they had to do what they had to do. uga knew they had to win to make the playoffs. so did bama, ohio state, and michigan
Go Dawgs. Next year..
It's rigged up bruh, also I think Harbaugh is winning this year finally for Michigan and going to the NFL potentially Carolina as they booted their coach and he spoke to them last year in going back to the League heard someone break it all down seemed convincing
Yall should already know they was going to squeeze Bama in😂🤦🏾♂️
Tbh they did deserve it
Yup lmao
They are way better than FSU
Bama ain’t lose no conference game all year they look at that too bro
Squeeze them in? We just knocked off the #1 team in the nation.😅😅😂😂
imo 1 michigcan 2 wash 3 florida st 4 alabama, or a better idea is MAKE IT MORE THAN 4 FRICKIN TEAMS IF YOU GUYS CARE SO MUCH
I feel sorry for Florida State they went undefeated 13-0 won the ACC conference championship and were left out of the College Football Playoff the committee is very unpredictable so I’m not surprised that they did what they did but I still feel very sorry for Florida State this is why the College Football Playoff should be expanded to 16 teams.
Whoever they play I feel bad for them cause FSU got some heat to take into the game now
@@greenghost5009 Georgia
The committee quickly forgot about Alabama's previous game against Auburn ( a game they should have lost) among other weak performances Alabama had this season.
Okay so every single close game played by any of the playoff teams should count against them.
A win is a win is a win.
The judges did not want a repeat of last years TCU debacle, FSU did not belong in the playoffs…period
I dont know if u actually paid attention but tcu beat Michigan in the playoffs. TCU weren't the frauds, it was michigan
They barely got by against south Florida…. And had a rest game against Chattanooga before a game they got lucky winning.
@@travelwithtony5767, using your logic FSU should be in.
@@travelwithtony5767 A win is a win is a win.
So 13 wins and no losses should count for something, right?
I feel bad for FSU they did everything that was expected of them and controlled their destiny. They are gonna be a scary team next year with a major chip on their shoulder.
With what QB
I blame the head coach. What was Jordan Travis doing even playing in the North Alabama game?
@@pinchevulpesI bet if Bama loses their starting QB they still make it if 12-0, this is about they want a SEC team in there

fsu won the nfc south of college football and scheduled easy out of conference games, bama and texas had the guts to schedule a game against each other
I think next year is definitely going to expand in 2025 for the playoff bracket for 12 teams So that the record can easily show it!
I can't wait. It's gonna be awesome to see three SEC teams in the semi finals.
The AP took: 1. Michigan, 2. Washington, 3. Texas, 4. FSU, while the coaches poll took: 1. Michigan, 2. Washington, 3. FSU, 4. Alabama, and left Texas at 5. 😝
The 2023 Fan-based National Championship will be played on DEC.30th at the Orange Bowl between No.1 Georgia and the undefeated FSU. The CFB contest is basically a runner up consolation game.
@@georgewilson4245, and I'm _all in_ rooting for FSU in that game!
That would be _so great_ if they could win that game! 😝
There going to do 8 first 1 and 2 get a bye week
I will absolutely boycott the entire playoff!
This committee regularly says that they will not punish a team for having an injury, but what do we have here!?
The committee doesn't want another TCu situation if they had their QB they would have been in sorry they are not the same team bro
They clearly said we look at injury’s before the selection. You mean to tell me you think fsu is actually better than alabama? Lmaooo. It’s not about the most deserving. It’s about the 4 best
So who cares
@@wozzy334Right
a team just got Punished for their QB’s Injury Lmao Cant make this up
Let me get this straight...an Alabama team that lost by 10 to Texas, NEARLY lost to a .500 Auburn team, and had FOUR one-score nailbiter wins including over 7-5 Texas A&M and 4-8 Arkansas, "deserves it more" than an undefeated Power 5 Conference Champion with 3 wins against Top-15 ranked opponents, including winning by 10 this weekend against the 14th ranked team in the country with their 3rd string QB??? The SEC and the NCAA might as well hold a marriage ceremony, because they're clearly in bed with each other, with Nick Saban essentially being their love child...
Texas had nail biter wins over TCU & Kansas U and got lucky against Houston. If anyone should have been left out it's them. Bama deserves the spot and I say that as an LSU fan.
The committee did not want to see a nationally televised game and a team lose by 50 points in the semifinal
College football the ONLY sport in the world where you get pushed out of the playoffs when you go undefeated. I guess they think that they are right in this sport by doing it this way and everyone else is wrong...
Florida State getting shafted is messed up. The CFPC is braindead.
Then tell me who wins head 2 head FSU or Bama?
Who can they beat they lost their qb and other key players
@@shaungafford8885We wont know. But FSU should be in over Bama… I will ask you one question. If Bama was 13-0 but on quarterback number 2 and 3 wouold they be in the CFP?
Nah bama would smack fsu around..its about getting the best 4 teams..bama just smacked Georgia, an fsu barely scored points on Louisville
FSU played in the weakest Power 5 Conference. Them being undefeated in not impressive. The committee got it right.
FSU was robbed. They lost their Heisman candidate of a QB, started their 3rd string QB in the conference championship game, and still were undefeated. They should have taken the 4 spot
And do what, lose by 30 in the playoffs. The ACC is a joke this year.
They can’t beat Texas nor Alabama if we being honest
Robbed of what? The committee actually did FSU a favor. You think that Rodemaker would have done anything against Michigan's defense? A semifinal game against any of the other three playoff teams would have made Florida State look really bad and led to decommitments.
THEY ARENT THE SAME TEAM AT ALL
@@veenom1979any given sunday. Last year everyone thought tcu gonna lose big against Michigan. And what happened? Yes they lost to Georgia. But have benefit of doubt for Fsu team. This is biggest failure in college football ever
It seems like no one in the comments knows the playoffs are expanding to 12 teams next year. Each conference winner will get an automatic bid. Also Im seeing a lot of “Ohio State had their 3rd string QB in 2016 and won it all” yeah their 3rd string QB also won 55-0 in the Big 10 championship game. While FSU barley beat Louisville. If they beat Louisville by 30 then we would be having a different conversation. I think the committee learned from letting TCU get in last year. FSU didn’t deserve to be in. Its about the BEST 4 teams. Not the 4 most deserving teams. The ACC is the weakest “power 5 conference” by far. Sorry FSU fans, maybe next year.
No we wouldn't have a different conversation if they won by 30. Especially since there seem to be people on the committee who already said they were going to leave FSU out regardless of the ACC championship game results. The point is to win. FSU did that every single time. Washington and Bama only won by 3
Funny how everybody talks about how TCU didn't deserve to be in the playoffs last season, yet ignore the fact that they were the #3 seed, was 7.5 point underdogs to Michigan, and beat them. I don't recall anybody saying Michigan didn't deserve their playoff spot after TCU beat them.
@@clipcoug1139 if that Freshman QB went out there and killed it instead of going 8-24 or whatever he did. I guarantee Florida State would have made it. An yes Bama and Washington only won by 3 but look at who their opponents was? There was a small chance Oregon would have made the CFP and Georgia would have definitely made the cfp. While Lousiville was a team who lost to Kentucky.. and Kentucky lost to Bama and Georgia.. as for TCU. Yes they beat Michigan, but I mean what can justify that National Championship game last year? The committee wants competitive games. if FSU got in they would have been blown out. They couldn’t even score on Louisvilles defense. Imagine them going against Texas or Bamas defense 💀
@@chrisbeach423: Shouldn't need their QB to go lights out. FSU went out and took care of business like they normally did. They have a very solid defense as well and I doubt the defense would allow any offense to blow them out, which would make for some competitive games like the committee wants.
sad for florida state, ohio state, georgia and oregon even (they lost to Washington twice but super close). Should be 8 teams in the playoffs. This isn't fair.
Wow. Glad the playoffs are expanding. Tired of the SEC always getting the nod no matter how they look in games. And it’s always Alabama. A lot of money must of exchanged hands to get this done.
I’m not an alabama fan (and yes they are a media darling) but do you really think FSU could beat bama?
I don’t think they could beat them, even if that quarterback was healthy
@@utcnc7mm Well in that case on the field results don't matter. Looks like Michigan wins the National Championship this year since we're ignoring the games. Bama can't beat Texas, Michigan, or Washington because the committee ranked them higher. Pack it up, season's over.

@@utcnc7mmbut you don’t know that. you’re only guessing on-paper. that’s why you play the games, because it’s unpredictable. or else just put pre-season favorites in a championship match. you earn the right to play in the playoffs by winning, not by on-paper projections.
@@utcnc7mm Everyone thought Oregon was going to beat Washington, too. Have you ever even watched FSU's backup qb? FSU never lost, so we don't know who can beat them. We already know Texas can beat Bama.
