Michigan vs Alabama, Washington vs. Texas in College Football Playoff; unbeaten Florida St left out
The committee selected Alabama, the champion of the Southeastern Conference, and Texas, the Big 12 champion, for the College Football Playoff, causing controversy as this decision left out potentially deserving teams. This will be the eighth time Alabama has participated in the playoff, maintaining the SEC’s presence in the event, while Texas will make its first appearance before transitioning to the SEC next year. Texas and Alabama were previously ranked seventh and eighth, marking the first time teams jumped from outside the top six into the playoff field. Meanwhile, Big Ten champion Michigan is making its third straight appearance but looking for its first playoff victory. Florida State’s season took a turn due to an injury to their starting quarterback, and Georgia’s hopes for a third consecutive national title were dashed by a loss to Alabama.
