Oh boo hoo.
They beat Florida and Louisville in the last 2 games. Both of those teams do not stand anywhere close to the top 4. Without the quarterback, they would not have won. If Alabama had lost their quarterback they would not have beaten Georgia. A strong quarterback makes both teams much stronger. As I said, the committee does not want a repeat of last year where UGA Butt stomped TCU under the stadium and embarrassed the program.
FSU, due to a key player's injury is out.
This will be less of an issue next year as FSU would have qualified for a top 12 birth.
Again, this is why it had to go to a 12 system or just go back to no system at all.
