Punishing them because Miami and Clemson had disappointing seasons seems ridiculous, but these things happen when you have a subjective system to field a playoff rather than an objective one.
I mean, is it fair? No, not really. Their conference is what it is and they can't control that. I don't remember anything like this gnashing of teeth over the vast majority of G-5 undefeateds who have been left out of title contention over the years and to me there just isn't a huge difference between those situations and FSU. The ACC is a G-5 conference all but officially and has been for as long as I can remember. People suddenly trying to prop it up because they don't like what the committee did are being juuuuuuust a little disingenuous.

This is an uneducated opinion.
The ACC isn't great but it's definitely better than G5, besides that, FSU also beat two SEC teams this season.

The ACC had a winning record against the SEC this year.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy about Bama getting in, but I understand it. They will draw viewers. They are a good enough team to win it all (see the Michigan players' reaction to them getting in.) That's why I predicted Bama would get in on Facebook Saturday night.
But, for FSU, there was literally nothing more they could do than not get Jordan Travis hurt.
The committee was talking out of it's neck when they said the Noles weren't downgraded because of his injury: of course they did that. They outright said that they thought Bama would give Michigan a better game because the Noles would not be playing with their starting QB.
Would they? Who knows. After all, even TCU beat Michigan in the playoff last year.
GEAUX TIGERS!
