The same ACC who had a 6-4 record against the SEC this year?
Face it- FSU earned it. They won with a 2nd stringer, won with a 3rd stringer. Alabama needed all their guys to pull out a last second win over Auburn who was shredded by 21 by New Mexico. They squeaked by other lesser opponents too.
Either the games mean something or they don’t. And it’s quite hard to ever win it all if you are never given the opportunity and set aside for teams who didn’t prove themselves this year (or at least not in the way they should’ve.)
If it’s just a glamour competition (which it is- as evidenced by the outrage and how the committee doesn’t care) then they should just say so. Call it the $EC $pectacular. At least they’d be honest.
FSU didn’t beat a playoff contender. Washington beat Oregon twice, Michigan beat Ohio State, Texas beat Alabama, and Alabama beat Georgia. They were the easiest team to leave out, with the least impressive championship, and least impressive signature win.
