The committee got it wrong by replacing FSU with Alabama. I feel terrible for the Seminoles.
Meanwhile (as expected) the biggest advocate for SEC football said the committee got it right, per Paul Finebaum.
His response to FSU being snubbed was pathetic and illogical.
Per Paul Finebaum "FSU and their fans can go enjoy a nice bowl and everybody will be happy with that. And if this was next year, they would be in the playoffs"
That's not an argument. I hate the SEC bias and snobbish retorts.
Eight has been my preference for years. And it's about as clean as you can get this year. Five conference champions plus the three most-deserving runner-ups.
