It does not matter what any committee does, one fan base or two will always be upset. The debate could have just as easily been Texas/Florida St. or Alabama/Texas. Personally IMO, I feel like FSU did everything they could do to make the playoffs, they won every game and won their leagues championship. With that said, they are not one of the best teams in the country, especially with their starting QB out. Crap happens, remember 1978 when nd jumped from 5th to 1st the UPI Poll? I do! They jumped a #3 ranked Bama team that was ahead of them, BEAT Ohio St. in the Sugar Bowl and still did not get the nod over nd. #1 Texas and #2 Oklahoma both lost in their bowl games. Texas to nd and Oklahoma to Arkansas which wound up #3.
Sometimes decisions are made that are not fair for whatever the reason. Bama goes in because we defeated a team that was riding a 28/29 game winning streak, two time defending national champion, winners of 10 games in a row and in MY OPINOIN, one of the best teams in college football. Yes, an argument can be made that Florida St., Georgia and Ohio St. COULD have been in the top 4 but the decision was made by a committee and IMO, the chairman did a good job defending the decision.
