the comment made me think that there may have been something underhanded and political was done by the committee in leaving the undefeated FSU out of the top 4…
I love this new Republican party.
“Lets blame DeSancticmonious!!!”
DeSantis is an idiot.
But he did not injure FSU’s starting quarterback.
LAME!

As an aside, the committee did the right thing.
Florida State played a comparatively weaker schedule to get to 13-0. Good team, but not a playoff team.
And I imagine that Georgia will mop the floor with them in the Orange Bowl.
But at least they can take solace knowing the Gators will spend bowl season stewing in Gainesville.
I’m honestly not sure if you’re serious. . . . The CFP also includes Texas and Alabama. Trump is an idiot.
I understand that FSU’s season was not as rigorous as some others, but undefeated is no small accomplishment… some conspiracy theories are better than others…
Just what the country needs pols working on…

I think FSU should have made the tournament, but if they had, they would have bumped one of the two teams with one loss, either Texas or Alabama. So swapping one “red state” team for another.

Is the playoff field being expanded to eight teams soon ?
College Football Playoff officials will introduce a 12-team playoff bracket next season, expanding from the current four-team format.

Great news. Hopefully this’ll remediate issues like these with FSU.

Picking teams on how they may perform versus how they did, is always the best way…
For ratings.
The whole thing turned into a sham but it’s last year of four teams so that should resolve some issues

Today the arguments revolve around the 4th, 5th, 6th place teams. When they expand to 12, the arguments will revolve around the 12th, 13th, 14th place teams.
I have long held an idea that could actually accommodate a larger number of teams (for instance the whole top 25. Or more.) There are areas in the country where a large number of pro-sized football stadiums are located within a few hours of each other. Hold a round-robin, double elimination series that would quickly pare the whole bunch down to 4 teams. Play shortened games using college football overtime rules. Maybe with a minimum of two possessions per team. They could have 6 such games running simultaneously. They could be finished within an hour each (likely less), and then another round, and another… Over the course of a weekend they could end up with just 4 survivors, and those would then go on to play semi-final and final full-length games starting two weeks later, just like today’s 4 teams will play. Only this way it’s not up to subjective whims of selection committees. The teams would decide it on the field(s).
Double elimination would allow for a team to have an off-game and still have a chance to stay in the running.

I’m going to assume this is a misunderstanding because 
Has to be approved by the state legislature.

Couldn’t possibly be they felt Florida State would not be competitive due to their QB situation, and voted for ratings over rankings. Nah, it’s gotta be some kind of kooky conspiracy.
As for Trump blaming DeSantis, unless Teflon Ron can play QB at a Heisman level, I fail to see how he’s to blame.
I’ve seen a lot dumber things than this…like that fat guy suiing the Girl Scouts for selling him cookies.

Rick Scott, an actual US senator in real life, is going to get to the bottom of this national emergency!
Scott says Florida State “did everything they were supposed to do” by going 13-0 on the season and beating two highly-ranked teams, Louisiana State University (LSU) and Louisville.
“Was this a financial decision? If you did the right thing, you should disclose everything. Be up front about it. Disclose what happened, how they made the decision,” he told The Hill.
Here is a clue for FSU.
Ditch the ACC and join a real conference.
If there aren’t hearings on the college football playoff scenarios by congress then I don’t think they’re doing their job. 
Actually, I’d like a Ukraine/Israel/Border Security bill and also you know an actual ■■■■■■■ budget. But hey, that’s me.
