Exclamation I'm beginning to see the selection committee as a joke.
Putting Florida State at 4 is an absolute disgrace and makes me question the neutrality of the committee. What is FSU being punished for that isn't also applicable to those ranked ahead of them? Only Alabama should be ranked ahead of them.

Arguments against FSU compared to TCU...

Too many close games? TCU has barely beaten Kansas, West Virginia, and Oklahoma and lost to Baylor. Let's say this is a draw.

No signature wins? TCU has wins over three ranked teams who aren't ranked anymore. In fact, only Kansas State is still ranked -- FSU has beaten two teams still ranked and is still undefeated. FSU wins.

Strength of schedule? TCU does have a vastly superior SoS but, if like the committee, we consider where those teams finish it looks a whole lot worse. FSU wins this by the committees supposed standard.

Arguments against FSU compared to Oregon...

Strength of schedule? Oregon is only ranked 8 spots higher than FSU. Considering there are 128 teams that's fairly even.

No signature wins? Oregon has three wins over ranked opponents, all of which are still ranked, but they also lost to Arizona. FSU only beating one less still ranked opponent but also being undefeated puts them ahead.

Too many close games? Oregon's only close win is against Wazu, no contest that Oregon is superior here.

After quickly reviewing the basic arguments against FSU we can see they should be ranked second. It's pretty simple really -- they're undefeated, if it were easy then they wouldn't be the only one. The committee's disregard for FSU's strengths is setting a bad precedent of bias.
