Florida State is the odd man out, IMO.
Agree if strongest/best teams is criteria.
FSU definitely has the weakest schedule, and they’re nowhere near as competitive since Jordan Travis got injured.
If I were on that committee, my Top 4 would be Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama, in that order.
FSU should be odd man out. Bama should be in.
Unfortunately the reverse will happen.
Brock Glenn did as was he supposed to do, not lose the game. Not much yards but NO TURNOVERS!!! Strangling defense did the rest!
ESPN is an SEC toadie, they think they’re entitled to a spot in CFP just because they exist. Alabama needed a miracle to beat 6-6 Auburn. Georgia couldn’t win their conference. Alabama lost to Texas at home. To say Bama or Georgia would beat FSU is nothing but pure speculation. The SEC should have the year off! Sadly, SEC politics may prevail but without the politics here’s the top four.
Michigan
Washington
FSU
Texas
Yeah, how dare FSU go undefeated when everyone else lost a game or two.
They won their championship. I personally think Georgia should be 4 but it won’t be.
I agree. Would the Committee really want to put a toothless fsu in the playoff now that their QB broke his leg? Also, fsu played a particularly weak schedule with their biggest win being over #13 LSU.

The Disney Corporation owns/controls ESPN, ABC and the SEC network. Those networks are paying the SEC the largest $$$ amount in the history of sports - any sports - and so naturally the SEC expects to have at least one participating team in the CFP. On Saturday that team could no longer be Georgia which put the CFP in a quandary. They had to install Alabama, but how? Luckily for them, Texas has been playing magnificent football for several weeks. So since Georgia was now out, BOTH Texas and Alabama ascended to occupy the final two spots. It had to be that way as they never could have justified moving up Alabama and not Texas due to the road victory by the Longhorns in September. All four spots were then filled, icing out the Seminoles. If you think that there wasn’t enormous pressure placed on the CFP by ESPN/ABC/SEC Network/SEC then you probably also believe the Warren Report.
