Florida State won every game this season. A trip to the Orange Bowl is what two very angry teams will get instead. No. 4 Florida State (13-0 ACC, No. 5 CFP) will play No. 6 Georgia (12-1 SEC, No. 6 CFP) on Dec. 30 in the Orange Bowl after both programs felt like they deserved a chance to play for the national title.
The four-team version of the College Football Playoff is going out with drama and controversy. Championship weekend created as many questions as answers for the CFP committee and the selections Sunday will be the first in the 10-year history of the system where the field is truly hard to predict. No. 4 Florida State (13-0), No. 7 Texas (12-1) and No. 8 Alabama (12-1) gave the 13-member committee a lot to think about Saturday night.
Top-seeded Michigan will face Southeastern Conference champion Alabama in the College Football Playoff semifinal to be played as the 110th edition of the Rose Bowl Game. The CFP committee announced the lineup for the final four-team playoff Sunday, and the unbeaten Wolverines (13-0) ended up booking another bowl appearance in the Southern California sun against the Crimson Tide (12-1).
