Had zero to do with the QB injury or quality of the team (tho both are real, they did not drive the decision)
The reason they were kicked out was that Georgia lost to Alabama and Alabama (by virtue of their loss at home to Texas) couldn’t be picked over Texas. Texas was brought in because including Alabama/the SEC champ was deemed necessary
To put it another way…
Had Georgia won that game, we would have four undefeated P5 Champs
Michigan
Washington
Georgia
FSU
That would have been your playoff field
No one (outside of Austin) would advocate for Texas over FSU in that case and no one should advocate for Texas over FSU Now. The problem is simply that…
Everyone would advocate for Texas over Alabama and the committee knew it. Since the SEC champ was going to get in under any circumstance, FSU got shafted by the inclusion the Alabama/Texas package deal
Plain and simple
A pure embarrassment
