Am I right? Honest answers please?

Of course we would, but that doesn't mean the right choice wasn't made.

Florida State without Travis is an 8-4 or worse team in the ACC. They likely don't get bowl eligible in the SEC West.

They've always said their goal is to get the best 4 teams in and by that metric there's just no way you could consider FSU.

Honestly, putting them at #5 was just for show. Realistically, with the limits of their offense now they'd have little chance at beating anyone in the top 10 until they got to Penn State at #10 and that would look a lot like the Louisville game where a mistake or two decided the winner.
