The College Football Playoff has been decided, and Alabama is in.
After much hemming and hawing about "deserving" vs. "best," the committee decided best had to be the determinant factor, and put the Crimson Tide at No. 4 against Michigan in the Rose Bowl. That led to an explosion about what that means for how the playoff is determined.
Florida State was left out at No. 5, becoming the first Power Five undefeated conference champion to not make the playoff. Unsurprisingly, the decision was met with a boom of controversy, with fans (and athletic directors, quarterbacks and governors) on social media.
