One person responded: "An undefeated team not making it in. When's the last time that ever happened?"

This is the first time EVER that an undefeated champion from a Power 5 conference won't make the CFP Playoff
Was FSU robbed? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/u1ik67Tn0f

One fan said: "Yes. It does not matter if I or anyone else thinks that Alabama would beat Florida ST right now. Our opinions are not infallible. Georgia & Oregon were both favorites. Wrong – Lost. No undefeated SEC team would ever be left out. College Football is crooked like everything else."

Florida State got absolutely hosed. They have Atleast 2 first round picks. Talent all over the field, goes undefeated, and still on the outside looking in. 2-0 vs SEC teams this season. 2014 Buckeyes got in with a third string QB. FSU Shld have been in!

One fan wrote: "Wow – FSU is out despite going undefeated and winning the conf championship. If I was them I would pass on the charade of a bowl appearance and shut it down. They have nothing to gain by playing in a bowl."

Booger McFarland is not happy that Alabama got into the CFP over an undefeated Florida State team.
"To me, this is a travesty to the sport...One team has a loss, and that's Alabama. One doesn't in Florida State." pic.twitter.com/3rhBvvpT1D

One fan said: "I'm an Alabama fan, and booger is right This reinforces the reason we need the 8 team playoff."

Leaving FSU out was the right thing to do. Not having a QB makes them not one of the best 4 teams in country

One person replied: "Love you, Elle, but FSU got hosed. Maybe you're still hurting from UGA's loss yesterday, which I totally get as a Buckeye fan, but as an undefeated team from a Power 5 conference, they deserved a spot."

If we want to go best teams then FSU and Washington should be out
1. Michigan
2. Texas
3. Alabama
4. UGAIf Washington is in, so should FSU. You can’t say Washington would be favored over Texas/Bama/UGA
YOU HAVE TO STAY CONSISTENT

A social media user said: "Your top 4 looks solid but committee doesn't want 2 SEC teams in the playoffs. I think national championship game was actually played last night in SEC championship. None of (sic) the other teams can beat Bama and Georgia. SEC is best conference by far."
prevnextFormer UGA Coach Mark Richt
Sitting here thinking how ridiculous it is that FSU is not in the playoffs
1. They Earned It!!
2. If you want to simply put the best teams in then why is UGA not in it?
3. The committee based their decision off of 1 player, not the TEAM. Football is the Ultimate Team Game!!

This fan said: "They proved their resiliency by winning with the second and third string quarterbacks. None of the other teams would've done so in the last two games with their back ups. FSU deserved it more than Michigan."
