Yep, especially when it involves Bama. 13-0 FSU or Texas which beat Bama in Tuscaloosa will get screwed.
I get it. There’s a case to be made for Texas, Bama and GA. But it’d be tough to keep out a 13-0 FSU ACC champ. And Texas has a double digit win at Bama.Florida State hasn't played anybody good. They did beat two weak SEC teams this season, and that is going to help them with the committee, I think.
Wasn't TCU undefeated last year? And we saw how that turned out in the title game--an embarrassment. Being undefeated is an achievement--but it can also be misleading about the actual strength of the undefeated team.
I hope it’s the Outback. As I stated yesterday, anything is better than the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.So now that FSU is out of the CFP, it puts FSU in the Orange Bowl and drops Louisville completely out of the New Years 6 discussions, opening up another spot.
So now that means:
- Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri take CFP/New Years 6 spots
- Ole Miss likely takes a New Years 6 spot with the extra spot opened by FSU’s taking Louisville’s Orange Bowl spot
- LSU goes to the Citrus Bowl
- Tennessee (8-4) is the only ranked team in the “Pool of 6” section - alongside Texas A&M (7-5), Kentucky (7-5), Auburn (6-6) - going to be placed among the Gator/Reliaquest(Outback)/Music City/Mayo/Liberty/Texas Bowl…two of those bowls won’t have SEC teams (likely Liberty Bowl and either Texas/Mayo Bowl).
