The committee excluded an undefeated Power 5 conference champion for the first time since the advent of the BCS/CFP era that began 25 years ago.

Why? Because TV AD execs have their noses up Saban's a$$! Football team talent is now to be forever more decided by TV ratings. FSU is the first dominoe to fall.

Next year, it could be YOUR team!

I'm sure the committee sought out the advice of Samuel Alito when it comes to stare decisis!
