What do you expect them to do? They just went undefeated in the ACC and got left out of the playoff. If they were in the BigTen, 0% chance they’re left out.

College football clearly has a bias towards the SEC and BigTen so gotta go where it makes the most sense for your program

If they have an SEC bias, don't you think the SEC has earned it? How many national titles have they won the last 15 years? Not to mention Bama has two wins better than FSU's best win, so if you're going to leave any team out for FSU, don't tell me it's Bama. Texas? I can maybe agree with that. I think they only let Texas in because they beat Bama despite the Big 12 being [BLEEP].

And don't tell me the committee is biased against the ACC, either. Since the playoff started in 2014, they've had a team in there 7 times (including FSU once). That's more than the Big 12 or Pac 12 and only one behind the Big 10.

Maybe, just maybe, the committee didn't choose them because they watched the Louisville and Florida game and saw how ugly they looked without Jordan Travis and didn't think they were one of the four best teams without Travis. Just a hunch. 

For the record, the 12-team playoff starts next year. No Power-4 conference winner will be left out of the top 4 per the rules. So given the ACC is weaker than the others, it would be wise for FSU to stay in ACC to almost guarantee themselves a top-4 spot.
