More likely will help LSU and has in the past.
Fair or not FSU doesn’t belong in the top 10 without Travis and a functional offense anymore than LSU without a defense.

Welcome to "Woke World", where opinions and feelings mean more than facts and results. How Many games has FSU lost with no "functional offense"? How many games has Alabama LOST with their offense? How many people changed their OPINION about Alabama after they needed one miracle (I don't consider Koy Moore fumbling also a miracle) to defeat Auburn? How many of these same people reversed their OPINION after the SECCG?

Their defense is good enough to keep them in every game, and they went 13-0 in a Power 5 conference that went 6-4 against the SEC.

They absolutely deserved to make the CFP, and what was done to them is criminal. This year’s CFP selection is a good example of everything that’s wrong with college football.

They just beat the 14th ranked team. Let’s not act like a team ranked 8-12 is world beaters. A solid defense can absolutely beat any of those teams. LSU won like that for years.

Right, like in 2011 when ESPN kept using the “eye test” to describe Bama in getting a rematch… oh wait, that helped an undeserving Bama team.

A bullshite move by college football that sure as shite didn’t help LSU.

Right, kind of like Ohio St in 2014 when Braxton Miller got hurt. Then JT Barrett got hurt.

Oh wait, they won the whole thing? Imagine if the committee used that bullshite excuse that year.

Florida st probably wouldn’t win, but they deserved the opportunity based on what they did the whole season. Everyone arguing otherwise is a disingenuous a-hole.

Committee should have played their hand and dropped them when he got hurt. Dropping them after the conference championship just looks bad. Even Texas jumped them. Once that happened, it was over.
