The college football playoff committee should not be hated for excluding Florida State, they should actually be celebrated for it.
Earlier this year, Alabama looked like the worst Nick Saban-coached team in the last ten years. On Saturday, they looked like they could be the best team in the country. In September, the Broncos looked like the worst team in the league. Now, they’re in the playoff picture.
With this in mind, you should look at the College Football Playoff Committee’s decision to snub undefeated, conference champion Florida State, not as the nice thing to do but as the right thing to do.
College Football Playoff Selection Committee Chairman Boo Corrigan explained the committee’s reasoning to ESPN on Sunday.
“Florida State is a different team than it was the first 11 weeks [of the season],’’ Corrigan said. “As you look at who they are as a team right now without Jordan Travis, without the offensive dynamic he brings, they are a different team, and the committee voted Alabama four and Florida State five.
