The CFP Committee

I was reading their press releases on how teams would be selected, and came across the initial public statement/document they issued a while back, it reads: College Football Playoff Selection Committee Protocol 1. Mission. The committee’s task will be to select the best teams, rank the teams for inclusion in the playoff and selected other bowl games and then assign the teams to sites. 2. Principles. The committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:* Conference championships won,* Strength of schedule,* Head-to-head competition,* Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory), and,* Other relevant factors such as key injuries that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance. So here's the breakdown of each stated criteria to seperate "similar" teams. Not overall record or being undefeated wasn't mentioned: Conference champs... 1-5 all had one Strength of Schedule... FSU's was worst Head-to-head... Texas ranked ahead of Bama for that reason Comparative outcomes... Both Alabama and FSU beat LSU by 14+, and both did so after taking the lead mid third quarter. Very similar games. Key injuries... FSU QB injured, backups didn't look good I hate to say it because I'd have put FSU in... but the committee did EXACTLY what they said they would do.

FSau was voted #1 ahead of #2 Notre Dame who beat them, and #4 undefeated Auburn. Whatever the circumstances... they won a title that others had serious beef with. It happens...

As Penn Staters we all know what going undefeated and not getting a title feels like. While I feel bad for FSU, they can stop acting like an undefeated team never got screwed before.
