I agree 100 percent with the perfect shite storm part. Based on 10 years of CFP Committee precedent, we didn't deserve to make the Final Four and I knew we wouldn't make it. Had our chance and blew it.

I guess it depends on the criteria. If it's best 4 teams, I think Georgia had a case that they were a better team than Texas, them beating Alabama in game 2 notwithstanding. If a P5 conference championship is the deciding factor when teams have an equal record, then I can't argue.

I still contend that Florida State is the one that got screwed, based on CFP Committee precedent.

They got that right, IMO. FSU's offensive output plunged against Florida and Louisville after Travis was hurt. They clearly weren't the same team. The committee shouldn't assume that one of their inexperienced backups would make a giant leap forward for the playoffs.

I can only remember one similar situation, Ohio St. in 2014, but their offense looked really good with Cardale Jones in a 59-0 blowout of Wisconsin in the Big 10 championship game. Urban Meyer understood they had something to prove in that one game, and he did just that.
