And Georgia over FSU.  Which is probably the right call.  FSU wasn't all that great even with their starter, the ACC is just terrible.
The ACC had a winning record versus the SEC this year.

GT and USCe suck.

Soon as ESPN opened their CFP show listing the criteria for selection and emphasizing the point that missing players/coaches can be considered for team exclusion, I knew right away the fix was in for Bama/SEC.

Let me get this straight:
the committee abides by it's own guidelines.....and that means the fix was in.  
What the what?!?

The fix wasn’t in. We have to get over this notion that our opinions are so spot on that the only explanation for someone disagreeing with us is because of some nefarious reason.

It was a tough call. I would have put FSU but I get the rationale for Bama.

*whispers* they could have started with any of their guidelines to justify any of the exclusions. Cherrypicking this one just signals to everyone what they were going to do

Back to the AP poll real quick......this AP poll is the first time Michigan is ranked #1 since 1997. 
That astounds me.
