College Football Playoff Expansion Sparks Debate

Despite undefeated season, Florida State misses out while underdog Washington faces Texas in high-stakes semifinal

Alabama coach Nick Saban anticipates that the expansion of the College Football Playoff from four to 12 teams next year will not change much, as there will always be speculation about who the best teams are.
Despite Florida State's undefeated season and ACC championship win, the team landed outside the playoff at No. 5, leading to discussions about the fairness of the selection process.
Washington, despite a 20-game winning streak, is considered an underdog in the upcoming College Football Playoff semifinal against Texas.
Both Washington and Texas have high-powered offenses, averaging more than 469 yards of total offense per game during the regular season.
Texas has managed to maintain its winning streak despite injuries to key players, including quarterback Quinn Ewers and running back Jonathon Brooks.
