Alabama bumps Florida State for controversial last spot in CFP

LA Times  

Top-seeded Michigan will play No. The College Football Playoff is expanding to 12 teams, adding eight games to the postseason grind for “student-athletes” who still don’t directly share the revenues from those highly lucrative contests. For the first time in College Football Playoff history, an undefeated Power Five conference champion was denied a spot, as the selection committee chose 12-1 Alabama over 13-0 Florida State. Instead, the committee decided to elevate themselves and ‘make history’ today by departing from what makes this sport great by excluding an undefeated Power 5 conference champion for the first time since the advent of the BCS/CFP era that began 25 years ago.” Although Alabama beat Georgia on Saturday, this has not been a vintage Crimson Tide team. “Florida State is a different team than they were through the first 11 weeks,” CFP committee chair Boo Corrigan said during the ESPN selection show.
