GatorBolt 3 That defense can play with everybody. And I'm sorry, they lost their star quarterback and his backup and still won on the road in the Swamp then smothered a decent Louisville team. While I have no love for the school in Tallahassee, if this team gets left out of the playoff despite going 13-0, why even play the games?
GeauxTri 3
GenialGiant 3 I do not like Florida State. I do not overmuch like their fans as a whole. I do not like the Marching Chiefs, primarily because they play the same four goddam bars of music after every goddam play. But it's ridiculous that a Power Five team can run the table and be left out of the playoff. You're #3 in my ballot, FSU, but you'll always be #2 to me.

jthomas694 3 Florida State has the 6th ranked scoring defense, the thirteenth ranked scoring offense and was an undefeated P5 champion with two non conference SEC wins, including one on a neutral field over LSU (and it was not close). It is absolutely ridiculous that this is a team that will not be given the opportunity to win or lose in the CFP. The games don't matter and they have never mattered in this spot.

nw____ 4 People are upset about Bama and Georgia's strength of schedule. How could they get left out in favor of Florida State? Well, this is me knocking FSU for their schedule (which isn't as atrocious as people make it out to be). They deserve to be in, though. While they don't have a ton of tier 1 wins (what, maybe LSU?), they--and this is important--have **no** losses. That has to matter, imo.

w8w8 4 They get #4 and not #3 because of Texas' better performance in a CCG, but the bottom line is that FSU is in over Alabama because of their undefeated status as a Power 5 champion. A QB injury does NOT overshadow everything else they have going, and my eye test throughout the duration of the season has them passing more often than Alabama.

practicallybert 6 Undefeated conference champion, but only one ranked win in schedule and at start of season. Three wins by one touchdown all against conference opponents in a down year for ACC where no one has looked great. Despite no losses, wins do not compare to Texas, Alabama, and Georgia (all who only have one loss to top 15 teams) Orange Bowl v. Georgia

_TGT7 3 Louisville game looked quite messy for FSU, and they’ll probably lose by a million to Washington because Jordan Travis is gone, but I believe from a pure resume standpoint, a undefeated Power 5 team who scheduled a tough OOC matchup should make it in. Florida State can’t control how weak their conference is. They have 8 wins over bowl eligible power 5 teams, and have had close games, but I don’t believe they should be left out, even though I could see it happening. Amazing season from FSU, and amazing career from Jordan Travis, and I wish FSU the best.

If the four team playoff wasn't dead this year, this would be an awful precedent set by the committee. Florida State has earned the right to get absolutely murdered in their playoff game. Why the fuck do we play the games if they don't get that right. I don't fucking care they lost their top 2 qbs, they won every single one of their games. They did everything they're supposed to do. OTHER YEARS THEY MIGHT BE A #1-2 SEED. This is so fucking egregious by the committee. I'm sorry Seminoles, this isn't fair

hurricaneatx 5 (13-0) - [PLAYOFF] In perhaps the most highly consequential conference championship game for teams on the playoff edges, Florida State absolutely stifled a Louisville team averaging 35 PPG headed into the championship. Florida State has had some close games during the year but should deservedly grab a playoff berth with their undefeated schedule and ACC title. Florida State might not be favored in matches against top-tier teams, but Vegas and power ratings should not decide playoff inclusion. Quality wins: LSU, @Clemson, Duke, Miami, Louisville

chillmagic420 6 sorry FSU eye test says youd likely lose to even 7-12 ranked behind you lol. Even with your #2 QB you looked bad.
CriterionCrypt 6 I know Florida State is deserving a top four finish. But at the end of the day, my poll is based on the eye test. Florida State does not look better than Alabama, Texas, or Georgia at this point. Florida State with their star QB is a top 3 team. Florida State with their backup is not. Hell, Florida State might not even be able to hang with any of the Top 15 teams right now. However, being the ACC champ has to count for something, so they land at #6.
daredassdude 6 3 wins over Top 25 opps. ACC looks weaker than your average Power 5 conference.
