Undefeated FSU was robbed.
Who would they have left out had it been Clemson in the identical position? Michigan or Texas?
This Gator agrees. I hope FSU scores 100 in their bowl game just to show them. This is just wrong.

The University of Texas program is far more wealthy than FSU, and delivers far more TV viewers than FSU.
FSU has a 19 game win streak going back to 2022. I’d like to see them win the bowl game to continue the streak. OTOH, without being in the playoffs, bowl games don’t mean much anymore and a lot of NFL bound players from both teams won’t play.
Between conference realignment, NIL, the transfer portal and the ridiculous coaches salaries, I’m finding it hard to get too excited about college football anymore (and I gave up on pro football a long time ago).

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.
