FSU played in a major conference and beat everybody they played, including LSU from the mighty SEC (and handily, at that). Their defense was very good the entire season and the offense had some future NFL players (Coleman, Wilson, Benson and Bell) not named Jordan Travis. FSU earned the right to play for the National title and this decision was just one more black mark against the crooked, money hungry NCAA. This is an unbiased opinion as I have no allegiance to FSU.

Alabama beat LSU, too...plus two teams better than them. So that's why I say Alabama's not the team people should argue that FSU should be in over. I feel Texas has the weakest resume of any top-6 team, but that win over Bama forced the committee to put them in. You just can't leave an SEC team out unless they had two or more losses. All they do is win national championship year after year. They are the best conference without a doubt until someone can prove otherwise.

Anyways, I'm kind of sick of that topic. Now the real games start. So far, Michigan looks really tight, which is surprising given this is their third straight year in the playoff. They should have gotten their choice of opponent as the No. 1 team, in which case I promise you, they wouldn't choose Bama.
