Don’t watch then. I for one think they got it right. Casual fans like yourself look only at the win column and nothing else. FSU has looked bad in their wins and are playing with a backup QB. They had an extremely easy schedule and were way down in the strength of schedule rankings.
Does it matter that the ACC won head to head against the SEC this year 6 - 4 ? Does it matter that the ACC has 11 bowl wins, while there were only 9 bowl eligible teams in the Big 12, Big 10, and the WEAKER SEC?
THIS IS NOT A PLAYOFF SYSTEM, IT IS THE ALABAMA INVITATIONAL, BECAUSE BAMA GETS IN WHEN THEY DO NOT DESERVE IT WHEN THEY HAVE ONE LOSS. Bama did NOT do everything to win, by the FACT that they have one loss to Texas. Beating an SEC team, who collected many wins from a weaker conference when measuring head to head and by bowl eligible teams, that win does not catapult them ahead of the undefeated, stronger conference champion.
Bottom line: Saying that Bama deserves to be in the playoff is INDEFENSIBLE, no one can defend it. Fans need to realize they are being entertained through the Alabama invitational for profit, not watching a playoff, the winner is merely the winner of the invitational, not the national champion. There will be NO NATIONAL CHAMPION for 2023 season, deal with it. Let's recap.
SEC bias in a year when the ACC beat the SEC 6 -4 and has more bowl eligible teams,11 than 9 bowl eligible for the Big12, Big10, or the WEAKER SEC. FSU beat #5 LSU on the road early, and Florida on the road w/ FSU's #2 QB. Bama did NOT do everything to win, by the FACT that they have one loss to Texas. FSU won their ACC Championship with a 3rd string QB by double digits. How does an undefeated ACC champion lose out to the 1 loss weaker SEC champion, who barely beat out Arkansas at home with Bamas 1st String QB, by merely 3 points, 1/3 of the margin of victory that FSU had beating a top 15 team while starting their 3rd string QB. CFP is officially an SEC proxy, co-owned with ESPN by Disney. CFP is an abbreviation for Corruption for Profit. Disgusting ruling, compared to the heart of a champion FSU displayed all year on the field. Results matter, put FSU in, and remove Alabama. Ohio State should be # 5, they lost to the current #1 Michigan. If not, Corruption for Profit is telling all of college football that the regular season is irrelevant without a payoff to them. If any playoff QB gets injured in practice, then FSU takes their place? What sense does that make, and should never be a criteria for the playoffs. FSU maintained their rank, #4 (#3 when you realize Georgia didn’t earn it). CFP is legally liable for additional security on every QB in the playoff, their foolish decision has placed a bounty on every QB in the playoff between now and the first game. Without removing Alabama, this years invitational winner is disqualified due to CFP incompetence… call it the Alabama invitational because it most certainly is NOT a playoff. The talking heads don't feel bad for FSU, they are lining their pockets for being biased toward Bama and the SEC. Florida State Seminoles, the heart of a champion!!!
