The Noles won a hard-fought battle against GT last night. An undefeated team should count for something.
The Noles should be fine I think. Undefeated, and Defending National Champs. Going undefeated ain’t no easy task. I don’t care what Conference your in.
Either way the new College Football Playoff has added a playoff atmosphere to the entire month of November.
Regardless of who gets in, the remaining Top Ten Teams Bowl Match-ups will be exciting! IMO.
At one point, there were two 11-0 teams. One was #1. One was #19, ranked below 3 loss teams. Undefeated does count for something, but so does strength of schedule.
FSU has probably earned its place in the playoffs by going undefeated, but it is unfortunate that other, much more qualified teams are going to be excluded so that FSU can lose in the first round.
Then again, there will be controversy (intentionally) in any system until people realize that the concept of a “national champion” is nonsense when you have a field of 120ish and a 12 game season.
