I find it hilarious they think ESPN is blindly carrying water for the SEC...there were 6 teams all "deserving" a spot in the final 4 but only 4 can get in. Someone was getting screwed.
All they can see is FSU - 0 losses and Alabama - 1 loss
It's deeper than that. There are CBB teams with better records and worse seeds come March and that has all to do with SOS. Who did you play...who did you beat...this isn't new.
FSU beat LSU, Clemson and Louisville. That's it. None of those wins are over "elite" teams. All of the playoff teams have at least 1 major win. FSU didn't have that.
Alabama's best win was UGA. UGA is better than any other team FSU played all year long. Bama's lone loss was to Texas. Texas is better than any team FSU played all year long.
Reddit is the worst place right now. They all think it's some grand conspiracy and the playoff bracket is just for ratings. If that were true then why did they put TCU in last year? They had the opportunity to put OSU, Mich, UGa, BAMA in the playoffs last year but didn't do it...why would they do that if it's only about ratings?
I find it funny the Florida politicians are getting involved. Demanding answers. The committee is charged with picking the 4 best teams in their opinion. All they have to say is "We thought Bama was better". That's it.

It's because people can't focus on the multitude of criteria at the same time. People get fixated on 0 loss vs. 1 loss. That is one of the many criteria...
