The Final CFP Rankings

[DownwardDawg]

And then claim that its eye test but turn around and leave Georgia out

I certainly agree here. This is why it should have always been 8. Some dumbass chose 4 back in the day and they thought it was a good idea.

[defiantdog]

You could say the same as Ohio State

Ohio State doesn't have the qb play that Alabama has.

[chef dixon]

I think every team has a shot to win the first games. The match ups are nice from a neutral fan perspective.

[LC Dawg]

Imagine if we still had the BCS. They would have picked MI-Bama and left out two unbeatens and a team that beat Bama.

[Activated Alpha]

Ohio State doesn't have the qb play that Alabama has.

Kyle McCord QB for Ohio State has more passing yards, slightly better QBR, passing yards/gm, a little more passing TDs. Milroe is a little bit better than him in other categories, but it's basically even as a total QB

[msstate7]

That is stupid. I think it is more impressive they finished it without him. UGA is better than Washington and Texas.

Have you watched them since the injury?

[Matt3467]

FSU without their qb isn't very good. Sucks for them, but it's true

So you penalize the rest of the undefeated p5 team because they lost their QB 3 games ago? You let a Bama team in that needed a miracle to beat a bad AU team a week ago and barely escaped Tuscaloosa with a win against AR. Get that Bama sympathy out of here. They always get the benefit of the doubt because it's Bama. Roles reversed and FSU never jumps Bama.

That would probably be my one gripe. This is the first year in a while that I can definitively say that a deserving team was left out. Georgia is better than Texas and Washington and I would argue they would wax Michigan on a neutral field. I really believe Georgia and Bama are probably the two best teams with Texas and Michigan a rung below. Bama is a completely different team than they were in Week 2

I'm not the one letting my feelings of Bama cloud my judgement. Bama is much better than this version of fsu. FSU without Travis isn't even a top 10 team. Travis is that good

[Quaoarsking]

No professional sport knocks out a team because of a player injury if their record gets them a playoff bid, and college football shouldn't either.

The system is terrible either way. Bring on the expanded playoff.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Losing Travis is what did it for FSU. I doubt the committee would have left them out if he was healthy. It will be nice next year though having the 12 teams. This year would have been perfect for an 8 team playoff because I think there is a pretty sharp cut off from Oregon at 8 and Missouri at 9.

Professional sports don't award playoff spots subjectively

Really think it was SOS. FSU at #55 and Bama at #5 I think (someone chime in if that's a little off). Have to wonder too if last year TCU getting destroyed 55-7 was in the back of their minds.

[Roy Munson]

What some of you fail to realize and not one talking head has even pointed out yet that I’ve heard is that a 1 loss Texas team is ranked ahead of FSU as well so why is it a stretch to say Bama shouldn’t be in? They literally put it right in front of you that FSU wasn’t getting in and if there were 6 teams available for the playoff, they would have put OSU and UGA ahead of FSU too. They put them at 5 for show.

TCU getting destroyed was in the back of their minds and watching FSU struggle to be able to move the ball across the 50 was at the forefront of their mind.

Pretty amazing the chatter is about FSU when Georgia suffers a more undeserving fate by far.

Well that's all semantics after they decided they wanted Bama in. If they left Bama out they would have probably put FSU at 3 and just said they valued undefeated conference champs.

[Roy Munson]

It’s not semantics, it’s exactly what they did. Semantics would have been my other example where there are 6 teams that got in and FSU wouldn’t have been in those either.

[MoreCowbell]

If FSU was smart they would have said Travis injury not that bad and that he would be back for playoffs

[chef dixon]

Not sure the point you are trying to make? They could easily just say they value conference titles and put FSU at 5 ahead of 1 loss non conference champs. I think it was pretty obvious when 3 on the screen was Texas what was happening. But the ultimate decision was Bama in or not, and the other order would be arranged off that decision where they could justify their logic.
