They left them out because of the QB but still leaving a undefeated conference champ from a power 5 conf is amazing

And Any of the 5/6 choices are worthy but I think it is about the juiciest matchup for ratings and since this is the last year of 4 before it expands to 12 next year there is no precedent

Regardless of who they chose their was going to be some controversy and some people upset

FSU has a legitimate grievance, it won all its games with the QB out, did it not? How do you go unbeaten and get left out in favor of TWO teams with a loss?

Georgia Texas choice could go either way although Texas barely won several games and lost to a team outside the top 10.

To me the winner of the Orange Bowl will be the de facto National Champion.

Georgia vs. Florida St. Two storied programs battling for it all.

The BCS tourney is for the IBF or WBO title, or a LIV golf event. Maybe the BCS winner can play the Orange Bowl winner on ppv to unify the belts.

Early odds show nobody giving Washington a chance. The other three are pretty closely bunched.

As an Indiana University grad, I'm pulling for Washington. Michael Penix gave us some great games before leaving Bloomington.

All 4 are worthy even Washington

With That Said I think it is

Alabama over Michigan (potential to be an epic game)
Texas over Washington

Sadly Alabama over Texas

A little surprising FSU got left out, but good.

FSU would have been another Cincinnati and TCU making it. Great season and fun underdog story, but eventually would get pounded like those 2 eventually did.

TCU lost 65-7 vs Georgia
Cincinnati lost 27-6 vs Alabama

FSU would eventually get pounded as well.

If they beat Georgia then they can cry......but guessing they will be almost a 2 touchdown underdog vs Georgia, so good luck.

So you saying UGA is playing Fl.St in a bowl game???

Found it:
ATHENS — Georgia won’t be playing in the College Football Playoff, but it will still be facing a quality opponent in its bowl game. The Bulldogs will take on the Florida State Seminoles in the Orange Bowl.

The game is scheduled for Dec. 30, with ESPN broadcasting the game at 4 p.m. ET. Florida State, despite being 13-0 and winning the ACC, was left out of the College Football Playoff in favor of Alabama. The Seminoles are the highest-ranked ACC team, while Georgia is the highest-ranked team out of either the SEC or Big Ten. Brett McMurphy of The Action Network was the first to report the news.

The Bulldogs finished No. 6 in the final College Football Playoff standings. Florida State came in at No. 5. Florida State lost its starting quarterback Jordan Travis in its 11th game of the season, but still picked up wins over Florida and Louisville without Travis.

This will be the first time Goergia and Florida State have met since the 2003 Sugar Bowl, a game Georgia won 26-13.
