Snubbing an undefeated P5 conference champion for two one loss teams is indefensible.

What if that P5 conference has no other good teams so the undefeated team goes totally unchallenged all season?

No it’s not, the rules explicitly dictate it’s what needs to happen when an injury results in a prospective team becoming no longer competitive as clearly happened here.

So your just mad that it's Bama. Just admit it. Nevermind that anyone in the playoffs would steam roll them essentially punching a NC game. That was the whole point of the committee... You know that Bama is the better team period, you're just arguing semantics simply because you're pissed that Bama might win it all. Only Michigan had an easier schedule. If FSU played Bama schedule you think they would be undefeated?

I think the message sent was that the ACC is not a power conference.

Advice to FSU
1 Play a better schedule
2 Join a stronger conference
3 playing an SEC team or two weeks apart
ain’t gonna get it. Play one every week an
you’ll see what it’s like.

Why? What makes a Power 5 conference a Power 5 conference? Are you going to be willing to grant that conference that standing when they lose half their teams? Why is FSU more deserving than Liberty? Liberty might be able to beat FSU on the field. Where's your outrage for them?

Is this where we pretend that winning the ACC undefeated is anywhere in the same ballpark was what Bama did?

Love how y’all draw the P5 line due to teams like Liberty playing weaker competition. The committee followed their protocol. Head to head, SOS, common opponents and injuries that effected performance in beginning of season and results and injuries that figure into post season play This isn’t that complicated to figure out.
