It's only sport, and amateur sport at that, but this decision is a travesty. I really can't see how this can be justified. It should have nothing to do with the QB injury, or any injury. It doesn't matter if FSU gets killed in the semifinal game. By all pre-existing rules, they simply earned the right to be there. So let them play. Of course there are 1-loss teams that feel they deserve to be in, but are left out. This happens every year. But leaving out an undefeated team from a top conference, after scheduling a tough non-conference opponent in September, ostensibly just to avoid such debates, flaunts the principles of fair play and of sport in general.
I'm proud of FSU, and disgusted but not surprised at the power brokers of college football.
Edit: that should read Travisty, amirite?
