I'm still of the opinion that the committee chose the easy way out here instead of just taking a logical position. It could have been Alabama, Texas, Georgia and FSU with current considerations (current makeup of the teams and how they are playing) taken into account, with FSU being lowered by at least one position the week prior.Thing is, their schedule did not keep them out of the CFP this year. They beat LSU and Florida. If their QB was even 50%, they would be in the CFP.
Even with a healthy QB though, based on SoS (which FSU fans suddenly discovered yesterday) it probably should have been Washington, Michigan, Texas and Alabama or something along those lines.
Sagarin currently has FSU as an SoS of 61 (they played 3 top 30 teams, Alabama played 6) and Alabama has an SoS of 3. The committee uses SoS, they talk about SoS, they just chose to downplay it but that in my opinion was their biggest mistake. Ironically, a recent FSU post I saw pointed out how few ACC teams have ranked in the top 5, tell me more about how deserving FSU was playing that schedule FSU fans, heh.
Either way they are now running two contrary arguments.
