Correct

quote:

Speaking on ESPN on Sunday, College Football Playoff committee chair Boo Corrigan explained why FSU was left out of the top four.

“Florida State is a different team than they were through the first 11 weeks,” said Corrigan. “An incredible season. But as you look at who they are as a team, right now, without Jordan Travis, without the offensive dynamic that he brings to it, they are a different team.”

According to the College Football Playoff selection committee protocol guidelines, the decision is made based upon a series of factors, one of which includes “unavailability of key players.”

The committee made the right choice but it is simple as that. An elite veteran QB allows you to smudge the numbers a bit. FSU’s resume was always going to be the worst of any of the contenders but elite QB play is a huge factor in winning a playoff. Only going to become a bigger factor as the playoff expands. The more games against elite competition you have to play, the more likely you’re going to need the quarterback to drag your team past the finish line in the 4th quarter.

Yes, they would have. They would have found another excuse.

If Daniels doesn’t get concussed LSU would have played UGA.
