Its the intellectual dishonestly. The committee and ESPN blaming some college kids broke leg instead if just being honest and saying "Its the Money".

[mauricesmith]

Just call it what it is: the College Football Invitational. This is not a true playoff.

[RayearthIX]

"You know what's not football? People in a room telling 13-0 teams you can't play." That was the most true point made in this entire video, and its the last sentence.

The decision to take Alabama over FSU wasn't about selecting the best team. It was about ESPN protecting the SEC brand.

Thank you Rich… this is one for the ages 😞. Go Noles!

[JangaLangaBanga]

The way I described Rich Eisen to my friend who doesn't care about sports is like having your uncle who's phenomenal at storytelling and the funniest science teacher at any given high school rolled into one.

For anyone wondering, someone did do the BCS model on the teams this year. It had FSU in the 4th spot

[smpnc]

So beating the #14 team with your 3rd string QB looks worse than needing a 4th down miracle against Auburn (who got drilled by New Mexico State) with your starting QB the week before.

Well said, Rich! Is there zero integrity left in college football??

[chromiumdragon]

Another sport in the process of being ruined by greed…
The committee just stole FSU’s chance at the greatest Cinderella story ever.
Also, the decision to have 12 teams in the playoffs, instead of 8, means most of the individual player records will be held by players on 2nd tier teams, as they all get an extra game over the top tier teams.
Bad decision after bad decision by the modern NCAA.

That final sentence from rich says it all

[mikefisher]

Everyone always 'knows' who the best teams are. All I heard for 4 weeks is that Oregon was the best team around and would trounce Washington. You play the games, you don't just pick. And no, the BCS was not always right. One year Nebraska went after losing by 30+ to Colorado and then got killed in the final.

As a Loooong time Canes fan, a serious hat tip to the Noles Nation...Winning doesn't matter any more....You got robbed...

[LoCoVANole]

I’ve heard many argue that excluding FSU was the path of least resistance, and it generally makes sense. However, it’s the only option that requires obliterating a fundamental principle of competitive sports - the games matter, and wins/losses matter. Excluding FSU is the only option that guts the integrity of the game and fan confidence in why we all follow sports in the first instance - to let the players and team performance determine who wins. In the end, the committee did not take the path of “least resistance, ” but opted instead to commit sacrilege.

And Alabama needed a miracle touchdown to beat Auburn.

Brockman saying bad break is a slap in the face to all team sports, FSU earned the right to compete for a championship

[johnbishop-bp]

"There are three undefeated Power Five conference champs. In a system built purely to reward the strongest resumés, those three teams—Michigan, Washington, and Florida State—would definitely make the field. The question would be whether the fourth team is Alabama, Georgia, or Texas. Alabama beat Georgia in Saturday’s SEC title game, and Big 12 champion Texas beat Bama 34-24 in Tuscaloosa on September 9. By this logic, the calculus could have been simple: The three undefeated Power Five champs take the first three spots, and one-loss Power Five champ Texas gets the fourth."

Jordan Travis should be the Heisman according to the committee

[TheGhostofTomMetzger]

Defense wins championships and FSU has a outstanding Defense.

[scottca]

I think Rich is overlooking Alabama's clutch win against the impressive Chattanooga.
