Look at the last CFP rankings before today: https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings/_/poll/21/week/14/year/2023/seasontype/2. Whatever team you pull for, see how many teams they played in these rankings. (Not what an opponent was ranked when you played them, i.e. I'm not impressed if you beat 4-8 Colorado when they were ranked. Look at each of your team's opponents in these rankings.)

Florida State played only 2 of those teams (and beat 2).
Michigan, Oregon, Washington had only 3 games against those teams (counting Oregon twice for Washington).

Georgia and Texas played 4 of those ranked teams. No wonder they have a loss.

Bama played 5 of those teams. Five. Let that sink in.

Want to know why Michigan and Florida State are undefeated? They played only 2 really good teams this year.

When it comes to both strength of schedule and results, the 3 best teams are Bama, Georgia, and Texas.

The catch 22 of being in the SEC

That and media bias which has existed forever now

Didn’t FSU play 3 of those ranked teams— LSU, Clemson and Louisville?

I like the way you layed that out so clearly!

Maybe that will hush a lot of the whiners about FSU.

FSU had a great season. Strength of schedule matters.
