Social Media Erupts After Florida State Gets Robbed Of Playoff Spot

Social media was on fire Sunday after Florida State was left out of the College Football Playoff.

The committee left out the 13-0 ACC champions in favor of 12-1 Alabama for the fourth and final spot. It all came down to Jordan Travis being hurt and not able to play.

Despite winning multiple games without Travis and beating Louisville with a third string QB, the committee iced out the 13-0 Seminoles.

Many feel it's absolutely indefensible. How does a 13-0 P5 champion not get in?

People flip out over Florida State not getting in.

It didn't take long for social media to be flooded Sunday with plenty of takes about the Seminoles getting left out.

Personally, I fired off a few shots about the unfairness of the situation.

Of course, I was tame compared to some of the reactions floating around. People are livid, and it's hard to blame them.

The decision is what it is at this point. Florida State is going to the Orange Bowl against Georgia. Will either team be excited about that game?

Seems very doubtful. Both expected to be in the playoff. Now, the Seminoles and Bulldogs are on the outside looking in.

We all know people would be livid if the Seminoles didn't get in over a 12-1 Alabama. That's exactly what unfolded Sunday, and the takes likely won't stop rolling in.

Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com if the committee got it right or if FSU should have been in. I look forward to a lot of reasonable and rational takes!
