and as you can see, they lost jordan travis to a devastating leg injury two weeks ago and the committee chair says that that loss definitely factored into this decision. >> florida state is a different team than they were through the first 11 weeks. coach norvell, their players, their fans, you know, an incredible season. but as you look at who they are as a team, right now without jordan travis, without the offensive dynamic that he brings to it, they are a different team. >> jordan travis expressing how he is feeling in this moment tweeting devastated, heartbroken in so much disbelief. i wish my leg broke earlier in the season so you can see the team is so much more than the quarterback. i'm so sorry. go knnoles. so michigan will get alabama, that is followed by washington and stotexas. ohio state will face missouri in the cotton bowl. next year this playoff moves to 12 teams, so this is really the final year where you might have this kind of confusion and what a way go out with so many teams really deserving that spot. tough to pin it all on a quarterback who is injured. you can imag

the championship game. >> we're good, phil. >> i think the tough thing for me was reading the jordan travis tw tweet, the quarterback, has had a sensational career, saying, quote, devastated, heartbroken and so much disbelief right now. i wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y'all could see this team is much more than the quarterback. i thought results matter. >> results should matter. you know what, here is the thing, this is the last year of the four-team playoff, next year it goes to 12. that committee, that committee of people who sat in a room in grapevine, texas, decided ratings matter most. >> expand on that. i think it's an important point. >> this is not so much about the most deserving team. they felt that without jordan they weren't going to be able to look as good on television, wouldn't be able to have that many ratings. i honestly believe that is exactly why they picked alabama. alabama is a powerhouse. the s.e.c. the conference in which they are in is arguably the best that there is in college football and so is nick saban in terms of a coach. i felt like if there was a

but they are without starting qb jordan travis. they had to start their third string true freshman quarterback. lawrence punches it in for their only touchdown of the game. they defeat louisville 16-6. by the way, no undefeated power 5 school has ever been left out of the cfc. the key game, the sec championship georgia taking on bama. bama goes up two scores. in the fourth, dogs not quitting. kendall milton tightens the lead. but they never got the ball back. bama closes the door. they win 27-24 and break that win streak. here is where it gets tricky. bama and georgia both have losses in the sec has a legitimate shot of being left out of the playoff. the other team in question is texas. they won the big 12 championship. and, they beat bama by 10 earlier this year. that will play into this. the real drama from the day, the dr. pepper challenge. students competing for $100,000. ryan and gavin going at it. looks like ryan's final throw is late. but the ref counts it. controversial. the two went into overtime. sudden death. ryan ends u

that was a big factor in their decision, said the committee. >> without jordan travis, without the offensiveamic that he brings to it they're a different team. >> reporter: travis went right to social media posting, devastated. heartbroken, and in so much disbelief right now, i wish my leg broke earlier the season so you could all this team. his coach mike norvell echoing his frustration. >> that was a -- one of the tougher moments i've had to experience. your truest identity shows up in times of great adversity. >> florida lawmakers blasting the decision. republican senator rick scott will be demanding on how the decision was made. and a resolution condemning the committee's choice, saying, quote, this decision is about tv money, a corrupt decision for collegeathletics. >> to be good enough to do everything you're supposed to do, still get robbed of that opportunity, so, it's a sad day in college football. >> reporter: texas lost to oklahoma but a win over alabama and a convincing win in the big 12 title game moved them ahead of florida state in the eyes of the committee, alabama went unbea

the big takeaway is jordan travis, star quarterback for florida state, broke his leg in the second halfseason in game ten. florida state then played with their backup in game 11 against florida and then with their third string quarterback -- sorry, in the acc championship. they had the final two games of the season without their star quarterback and they were substantially worse at that against both florida and louisville. meanwhile alabama on the final weekend of the season in the s.e.c. championship game beat number 12-time defending champ georgia who had not lost a football game in about three years. alabama gets elevated. earlier in the season if that's not complicated enough, texas had beaten alabama. in a head-to-head scenario there texas goes in three, alabama goes in four. i think the committee got it right but certainly leaving out a 13-0 power conference team like florida state has provoked a massive amount of response. >> bill: very well done, clay. now for the ultimate arbiter. here is dana's view of how this went down. >> dana: i don't know if anybody wants that. when you t

you see the argument after arguments, and jordan travis was a huge talent.ut it is a different team without him being able to play on it. and as you rightly noted earlier, the seminoles actually would have been in the playoffs if we had been operating with the 12 team format that is going to go into place next year. >> they would've played liberty, another team that is undefeated. i'm not gonna argue for liberty, you just have to see it. but it's interesting that they did this to themselves. the acc commissioner and 2 other power 5 commissioners went against the norm. this had already been approved for 23, kaitlan. instead, or having to wait until next year. but the other thing i want to say is that people want to use accusations like alabama got in because of saban, alabama got preferential treatment. i even heard that on cnn last night. >> [laughter] >> that is absurd, that is absolutely absurd. alabama beat the number one team in the country in the biggest game of the year, the s.e.c. championship game. okay, they have a loss. we are all aware of that. th

they lost their best player a generational player jordan travis their quarterback.ey are a good team. they have no lead defense. but, they should not be part of what we are seeing. a lot of the reason for that is what happened last year. -- they got to the final game and lost 65 to 7 against georgia. i think in the back of this committee's mind, they did not want that to happen again. >> that is what i thought as well, what happened with tcu. you see an argument after argument and gordon chavez was a huge talent. it is a different team without him being able to play on it. as you brightly noted earlier, the seminoles would have been in the playoffs had we already been operating with the 12 team format that is going to go in place next year. >> they would've played liberty. another team that is undefeated, i am not going to argue for liberty getting -- but it is interesting that they did this to themselves. the acc commissioner and two other par five commissioners, went against the norm. this is already been approved for 23, kaitlan, instead we are having to wait unt

the chair of the playoff committee said losing their star quarterback, jordan travis to that season ending leg injury was the reason. alabama and texas made it instead, travis tweeted in part i wish my leg broken earlier in the season so y'all could see this team is much more than the quarterback mattered. his coach echoing that same frustration, here is a bit of that. >> it hurts our players to be honest with you, it was one of the tougher moments i had to experience. at times of great anniversary -- adversity we faced it. >> florida state deserved and earned the chance to go for the national title, good thing though that they are moving to the 12 team playoff next year so we won't have this in any sort of fashion again. >> you cannot lose a zero games, thank you very much for that. basketball, eight teams remain, which will survive? the coverage of the end season tournament knockout round, it is thrilling and begins tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern. the right team to root for is the celtics against indiana. who likes indiana? >> no one, apparently. inside p politics isis up next. the power g

committee chairman told espn, florida state is different than it was, they are not same without jordan travised season-ending injury, so they decided without him, alabama deserved the fourth spot. travis wrote, i wish my leg broke eleanor 234 the season so you can see this team is much more than the quarterback. now florida state will face number six georgia, who got knocked down from number one after lucky hail mary alabama win despite having been undefeated over course of 2-1/2 seasons and two national championships. seminole fans are upset and so are dog fans after their team went 728 games without losing and got knocked down five spots. >> steve: thank you. >> ainsley: he loves southern football, too. >> steve: we all do. check in with janice dean outside with folks on this chilly day. >> janice: folks from south carolina. >> kathie. >> nancy. s >> janice: do you like this book? >> love it. >> janice: your name? >> luke, >> shelby. >> christina. >> janet. >> pearl. >> liz. >> janice: sisters in new york, you having fun so far? getting into trouble? >> little bit. >> janice: what is your n

with that concussion, but even then, they have not really been the same team since their star, jordan travis, suffered a season-ending injury a couple of weeks ago. do you put them in ahead of alabama, or what about texas, which beat the tide in tuscaloosa earlier this year? and as much as it hurts me as a florida gator, even though i am inexplicably wearing georgia red for some reason, it's hard to count out georgia, back-to-back national titles. 29 straight wins before yesterday. we'll find out around noon who makes it in. >> you had one opportunity this morning to support your team, and here you are, if georgia red. you had an option. >> you know what, he did nail louisville. as a kentucky girl, i appreciate how you said that. >> there you go. i'm embarrassed. >> carolyn manno, thanks so much. >>> and thank you for watching this morning. "state of the union" is next. have a great day.

hearing from the committee and sources throughout college football, jim, is that the injury to jordan travisthe florida state quarterback, did play a factor. in that sense, you're right. it's completely unfair. of course florida state won yesterday and has done everything that they could possibly do. but what the committee is looking at is the best games possible. so, in, like, a snapshot in time, so to speak. i'm not necessarily absolving them from this controversy in this conversation. when you look at the difference between alabama, which is now on the rise, obviously beat number one georgia, the two-time defending champ, georgia, 27-24 in the s.e.c. championship game. that's huge. >> sure. >> and the s.e.c. has won the last four college football playoffs, the national championship, and six of the nine. so, it is really hard to deny an s.e.c. team. >> well, and i just wonder if there's some unfairness there. because i mean, does the s.e.c. just get a spot in the top four? you know, you're looking at florida state. they're undefeated. you lost to texas. i'm sorry. you lost to texas. one lo

they were without jordan travis, they had to start their freshman qb to get it done and they got it donerunning game against louisville. he punches it in from two yards out, the only touchdown of the game, they hang on to win, no undefeated school has ever been left out of the cfp. the key game was the s.e.c. championship against number one georgia versus number eight, alabama. after the first half, 'bama goes up two scores. there's no quitting with those dogs. 'bama closes the door, they win 29-24, but here's the issue, they both have one loss for the fcc has a legitimate shot of being left out of the playoffs. the other team in question is texas, they won the big 12 championship and they beat 'bama by 10 earlier this year, so a lot to figure out. the real drama, the dr pepper challenge where students compete for a shot at $100,000. a big issue during halftime, it looks like the final throw is late but it counts, controversial however. they went into overtime and sudden death, and ryan ended up winning, but fans were outraged on social media. thankfully dr pepper he honoring his origina

today to have what was earned on the field, taken away a season ending injury to star quarterback jordan travisdecision to snub florida state. >> one of the criteria that the committee has used in the past is if a great player on your team is injured and unavailable, that can potentially affect out how you're ranked. and unfortunately for florida state, their star player broke his leg in the 10th game of the year. >> travis posting on social media sunday, quote, i wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y'all could see this team as much more than the quarterback to the end zone. >> and it's caught two time defending national champion georgia won't make it a three peat this year. >> the bulldogs fell short against alabama in the sec championship game, suffering their first loss in two full years. >> now, next year, the college football playoff will expand from four teams to 12, which maybe will avoid controversies like this in the future. i should point out that my dear friend julian is a miami hurricane fans alum, and so he's this is archrival florida state. you know, i wouldn't say he's bro

and with fsu not having their star quarterback in jordan travis, one of the guess players and with himee has to take that into account and so if alabama is able to win this afternoon, if texas is able to dominate this afternoon i think the committee has to look back and say their mandate is to pick the four best states. could florida state be one of them? absolutely. but i think there is a conversation. >> whit: so many layers to that one. tim, before we let you go, we understand you'll be officially inducted into the 2023 college football hall of fame next week. congratulations to you. [ applause ] how does that feel? >> well, it's humbling. it's an honor. so grateful. and just the one thing that i would say is, when you play football, what's so special about it is you can't accomplish anything by yourself. it really does take a team. you know why a quarterback can be successful because of a great offensive line and coaches and backs, and we were special at my time in florida to do fun things, but it's because we had a whole team of incredible young men and coaches and just so honored

conference champion and i put them at four because they don't have their starting quarterback in jordan travisonference champion who beat alabama in alabama, in tuscaloosa on the road, and alabama beat georgia. so unfortunately this year, the s.e.c. just doesn't get in on my ballot, and if you really look at it, the acc this year was 6-4 against the s.e.c. in head to head matchups and non-conference play. maybe this year, the s.e.c.'s just a little bit down, and i don't think that they should be rewarded and the committee should change their rules just because they want to get an s.e.c. team in there. >> whit: it's incredible just how all those games yesterday really reshuffled the deck. i do want to switch over to the nfl because the jaguars host the bengals on monday night football tomorrow night. what are you looking forward to in this game? >> well, first and foremost it's got to be the quarterback play. you look at trevor lawrence. over the last two weeks, he's playing like an mvp. only josh allen and jalen hurts have accounted for more touchdowns over the past two weeks than trevor lawre

a season ending injury to the star quarterback jordan travis may have influenced the selection committee'sision to snub florida state. >> one of the criteria that the committee has used in the past is if a great player on your team is injured and unavailable, that can potentially affect how you're ranked. and unfortunately for florida state, their star player broke his leg in the tenth game of the year. >> reporter: travis posting on social media sunday, quote, i wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y'all could see this team is much more than the quarterback. >> to the end zone and it's caught! >> reporter: two time defending national champion georgia won't make it a three peat this year. the bull dogs fell short against alabama in the sec championship game, suffering their first loss in two full years. all right. first two teams out. who's in? michigan, washington, texas and alabama. one of them will hoist the trophy in houston. now next year it likely won't have the same potential for chaos. i'm sure something will go nuts but the college football playoff will expand to 12 playoffs

jordan travis, the quarterback of fsu, got hurt.ng in the semifinal, so they're a worse team. now, to mike's point, it's infuriating, the reason why florida legislatures -- or legislators, excuse me, are threatening to take this to the legislature is because it feels unjust. they won every single game. the human body is an imperfect meat sack. you can't do anything about it. what to you do? at this point, what they have left is to declare themselves national champions, which, in a way, is a politically resonant concept these days. just stay in your corner and say you won. no matter what the body that decides these things might say. >> by the way, just so younger fsu fans understand this -- by the way, this is the magic of college football, weirdly enough, that goes away next year when we have sitting there. >> that's right. >> paul, i was explaining to a big fsu fan who called me yesterday, talking about how unfair it was to the team. i said, i totally agree. i said, "let me tell you something. it will be the fire for fsu to be even
