Controversy Erupts as Undefeated Florida State Excluded from College Football Playoff

Critics question selection committee's criteria and perceived bias towards SEC and Big Ten conferences.

Despite an undefeated season, Florida State was left out of the College Football Playoff, with Alabama securing a spot instead.
The decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that Florida State's exclusion is due to the injury of their starting quarterback, Jordan Travis.
The College Football Playoff selection committee has been accused of favoring teams from the SEC and Big Ten conferences.
Next year's expansion to a 12-team playoff is not expected to resolve these issues, with fears that teams outside of the SEC and Big Ten will continue to be overlooked.
Florida State's exclusion has raised questions about the criteria used by the committee to select teams, with some arguing that the 'best' teams are not necessarily the 'most deserving'.
