TL;DR: The College Football Playoff committee colluded to make sure that an SEC team made it to the playoff, so undefeated Florida State University got cut, and the playoff is between Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama, with FSU and UGA as 5 and 6.
This only happened because Georgia lost to Alabama in the SEC championship game imo, but it’s still fucking horrendous that it did happen.
College football has been a corrupt mess of shit forever. I root for corruption and incompetence to reign. Let the bread and circuses die.
