FSU claims SEC bias

So, FSU goes undefeated, but looses its QB and is voted out of last years' CFP's.
Georgia looses twice, and looses their QB before the playoffs and BOOM! They are slotted in at # 2 overall.
Why? Because of SEC rules!
UGa must be better than others; right ND? Bama; right Michighan? S Carolina; right? Wern't they supposed to be in too?
Oh; wait a minute. UGA had too much practice time. Bama; ughhh- no excuse for loosing. S Carolina.... well, they are S Carolina. Let's not forget Tennessee showing up big in BIG 10 country.
SEC bias? Absolutely.
Go 1st-year in the conference Horns! Save the SEC!

Georgia won the SEC and received an automatic bid. The committee couldn’t remove them from the playoff field even if they wanted to. They also were guaranteed a bye no matter what unless the committee was going to drop them lower than #16 Clemson. It’s one thing to take a team with very similar credentials to 2 other teams and place them 5th instead of 3rd or 4th. It’s another to drop them from #2 to behind #8, #12, and #16. The two situations aren’t close to comparable.

FSU got left out so Michigan and Washington with joke SOS could get in.
They were left out so Alabama could be put in.

FSU dropped 1 spot and weren’t guaranteed a spot. UGA was guaranteed a spot as SEC champs. You going to change rules mid-game? Nothing you could do about UGA this year. Just don’t take conferences champs as automatic. Seed everybody regardless. All the Champs lost anyway.

The people that claim that FSU was snubbed “only because their QB was injured” are blissfully incompetent. It had to do with the 4 best teams. There was 5 conference winners and only 4 could advance. That’s it. We all watched the pathetic display off “offense” in the ACCCG. The committee saw that Brock Glenn couldn’t muster more than 40 yards against Louisville and said no thanks. On the other hand UGA in the SECCG had only 3 points and 58 yards total offense in the first half WITH BECK. In the second half Stockton comes in cold and lead 4 long drives for over 200 yards and 13 points then another TD in OT. That’s helluva Cinderella story and totally deserving. Apples to oranges

First, I agree that FSU should have gotten in last year. Results on the field should matter. FSU went undefeated, won the conference title game, and this year would have automatically been allowed in. Assessing teams' rosters due to injuries is utter nonsense and subjective. And yes, I know that do that in the NCAA BB tournament also. Second, last year there were 4 teams...this year 12. Third, as someone else mentioned, Georgia got the automatic bid by winning the conference title...that is how Arizona State also got in BTW. But your assertion that "SEC rules" had anything to do with Georgia getting in is untrue. FYI, if Georgia had lost to Texas in SEC CG, IMO no way does Georgia get in.

They put the two top seeds as the champions from the two top conferences. Not really too hard to explain.

Utter nonsense and contrary to the FACTS. The committee themselves specifically mentioned that the FSU QB injury was a huge part in FSU being left out. I watched the guy say it on national TV. As far as your appraisal of FSU, I obviously don't agree. Their defense appeared to me the best in the nation. I agree that Brock Glenn was a basket case at QB but teams have won with poor QBs in the past. Might I remind you that LSU made the NC game in 2011 with Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee as the QBs. Glenn wasn't any worse than those incompetent QBs. LSU was undefeated going into the NC game that season...FSU was undefeated going into the playoffs last season and SHOULD have been allowed to get in. The "best teams" is a joke...it is 100% subjective! Go by the play on the field, their records, who they beat and who they lost to. Anything else is full of bias!

Bama beat UGA and won the SEC. They deserved to be in.

You can polish up a turd as much as you want. FSU offense minus Jordan Travis was horrific. Like gut wrenchingly bad. 55 yards on 8/21 attempts. Cmon dude. I get it that you’re a FSU fanboy but objectively that’s wretched. And regarding the committee you’re gonna have to link what you think you heard. Because I heard them say something totally different. The FACT is there were 5 conference winners. Only 4 could get picked. It doesn’t get more simple than that. FSU was odd man out and when UGA curb stomped them we all knew the right decision was made.
Also adding you said they should go by schedule and who they beat. Okay. FSU had by far the worst SOS of any of the conference winners. Womp womp. Any other excuses you have over there?

Thank you for proving that you are, in fact, not an alumni of one of these higher institutions of learning that you cheer for.

Don't give a damn for or against FSU. But as I said, FSU had IMO the best defense in the entire nation. Glenn was a horrible QB just like Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson were horrible QBs so I guess LSU didn't deserve to play in the 2011 season NC game either. If anyone is making excuses it is you. And I don't accept your analysis of FSU, other than the QB. There are 21 other starters on the team. As far as PROOF why FSU was left out, here is a quoted statement. If you want to disagree with historical fact, go ahead. You asked for the statement and here it is.
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.”"
