There's not much difference between 12-1 and 13-0

especially when teams play different schedules. Bama got in over FSU because they beat the #1 team in the country who had won the last two NC and had just tied for the 9th best winning streak in college football history. Bama beating Georgia was historic because they stopped the 3-peat. A 12-1 Bama beating Georgia trumped FSU's 13-0. It's really that simple.

I wouldn’t call it simple. The question is whether the difference between a Top 5 schedule excuses a loss when compared to an undefeated team with a bottom 10 Power 5 schedule. Which we can argue all day about

There's a difference when the margin of error is razor thin. Bama lost, FSU didn't.
A 12-1 Bama team getting in over a 13-0 Florida St team is a complete joke and doesn't make any sense no matter how hard you try to justify it.

if jordan travis never got hurt, alabama wasn't jumping an undefeated FSU.

If Oklahoma state had the same results this year as Texas and Mississippi st had the same results as Bama the top 4, the CFP would have been
Michigan
Washington
FSU
Oklahoma St
Michigan
Washington
FSU
Oklahoma St

I don't care at this point "who" or "how" team A got in over team B.... but things like the quote shouldn't weight in on anything. bama got in by winning the SEC and beating the #1 in doing so. Period.
The CFP put the cart on these tracks with 5 conferences fighting for 4 spots.

I think the better question is whether Michigan's 13-0 trumped FSU's 13-0.

Being undefeated is great until you consider it was against the #55 SOS. A lot of teams would be undefeated playing such an easy schedule.

And where was ala ranked BEFORE last Saturday?
Where was Florida State ranked?
Did Florida State win their conference championship?
Yes, and holding a team that averaged 5 TDs per game to 6 points...
And how does the (%&%^&( 'committee' know if Florida State might have ONE OR BOTH of their QBs back - - - - - - - - - -
A FULL 'MONTH' FROM NOW ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why do all the Bama posters keep posting justification. Do they feel guilty? Does anyone even care? Bama is in, the playoff format changes next year anyway.
Talk about the matchups or something different.

Florida State jumped from 8 to 4 by beating a crappy LSU team and stayed there cause they played no one else worth a damn.
Bama jumped from 8 to 4 after beating No. 1, undefeated, 2 time National champ Georgia and only losing to No. 3 12-1 Texas.
Seems fair to me.

We lost to a literal playoff team. FSU didn't beat or even play anyone all year as good as Texas.
I did feel bad for FSU because I felt Texas should have been the team left out. You can't build an entire format and playoff based on one non conf head to head matchup. Texas' resume doesn't stack up outside of that one Bama win. They lost to OU. The only team worth a damn in their conf.
Bama earned their way in. Be mad at someone else. Be mad at Michigan. They had a 2 game schedule.

The difference was a Texas sized arse whooping at your house

There's not much difference between 12-1 and 11-2 either. Just a back-up punt returner's feet slipping on one play for a 6 win team is the only reason any of the discussions of the last 48 hours have even taken place to start with.

Ask Georgia fans if there is much difference. Seems like night and day for them.

It sucks for FSU, but Alabama did not take FSU's place, they took Georgia's.
