If you want to get into the playoffs, don't let your quarterback get hurt.
*unless you are an $EC or B1G team. Remember Cardale Jones?
And I feel like I’ve read two or three articles order the last couple of weeks saying the committee won’t take injuries into account.
Until the rubber meets the road on decision day, and no SEC/no Alabama is going to be in. A no loss power 5 team gets screwed here so the decision making seems particularly offensive, but it feels like the same old rhyming story over the last 15 years or whatever it’s been.

Don’t think that’s true. The committee takes everything into account including injuries.
Although I was hoping the SEC got skunked just because they think they invented football, anyone really being honest knows Alabama is a better team currently than FSU. If you watched them both last night it was pretty obvious.
But if the criteria really was who had the best overall season, i.e. based on results then FSU has a stronger case since they went undefeated.
I also think the SoS was another difference maker.
What absolute horseshit. You just can't leave out an undefeated P5 conference championship winning team. It's not like they lost after he got injured. It's a TEAM game and the team still managed to win without him. Who gives a shit if they probably would have lost to Michigan, they earned that spot and Bama didn't.

Texas is the one who didn’t deserve to get in IMHO. They beat the Okie State Okies. Doesn’t blow up my skirt.
Texas beat Alabama! That settles that dispute!!

SEC champs is basically an automatic bid.
Why???
The ACC held a record of 6-4 against the SEC in interconference play during the 2023 regular season. That advantage included a 2-0 mark posted by Florida State, which won its games against LSU and Florida during its 13-0 season.

Agreed! But, that's not the point he was making, I believe. I think he believes the SEC deserves it!.
They don't!

They chose predictive competitiveness over proven performance; They have become a committee of prognosticators.

I'll submit this without comment so it can stay on "the upper boards"...
Ron DeSantis pledges $1M to potentially sue College Football Playoffs after FSU snub
Florida’s Governor is ready to spend state money to remedy an injustice experienced by Florida State University.
After the Seminoles were snubbed by the College Football Playoff selection committee, DeSantis suggested that taxpayers could help fund some sort of resolution, though he noted that may not be possible.
During a Monday appearance on the “Ingraham Angle,” Ron DeSantis said he wasn’t sure what could be done, but in the event legal action was possible to get “recourse,” he said the state could provide $1 million to help the cause.
“Florida State earned that spot. Now, people have said, is there anything you can do? They’re actually looking to see if there’s anything they can do. I don’t know if there is any recourse, but I have set aside a million dollars in case there ever is any litigation. I’m not saying that there’s going to be. They are looking at it. I don’t think that this has spoken well for college football. And we’ll see,” DeSantis said during the Fox News hit.
DeSantis noted that FSU was an “undefeated conference champion” of the Atlantic Coast Conference, and “earned that spot.”
The Governor also responded to former President Donald Trump sarcastically blaming “DeSanctimonious” for the Seminoles’ slide out of the top 4 necessary to make the playoffs, calling Trump a “keyboard warrior” and challenging him to debate.
“And you know, Donald Trump wants to blame me. You know, he also said that he also took Disney’s side against us when we stood up for the kids. He also said Cuomo in New York did COVID better than we did, then attacked me for being pro life,” DeSantis said.
These comments are the first offered by the Governor in an interview, following up on a social media post Sunday as the news broke.
Posting to X on Sunday, DeSantis said “what we learned today is that you can go undefeated and win your conference championship game, but the College Football Playoff committee will ignore these results.”
“If you have the choice between humble and cocky, go with cocky. There's always time to be humble later, once you've been proven horrendously, irrevocably wrong.”
