Undefeated FSU Excluded from College Football Playoff, Sparks Controversy

Critics Argue Decision Influenced by Ratings, FSU to Face Georgia Bulldogs in Orange Bowl

Florida State University (FSU) has been left out of the College Football Playoff despite being undefeated, sparking controversy and criticism from many, including FSU's athletics director and head coach.
The decision was justified by the committee citing the loss of FSU's star quarterback, Jordan Travis, to injury and the team's subsequent performance.
FSU's exclusion marks the first time an undefeated team from a major Power-5 conference has been excluded from the playoffs since its inception in 2014.
Critics argue that the decision was influenced by TV ratings and the desire to include popular teams like Alabama.
Despite the controversy, FSU is set to face the two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs in the Orange Bowl on December 30.
