I would be surprised if they left us out unless we lose title game 75-0

FSU lost there starting QB. That was enough to keep them out.

That was under the four team format.

Do you believe that B12 and SEC bias is gone with 12 teams?

But that was 1-loss vs undefeated team who just lost their star QB to injury.

Yeah but there are way more spots now. We will be ranked 5th or better at 12-0
