And Florida State should get shellacked by Georgia. Kind of justifies FSU getting snubbed, although that was harsh IMO.

Initially,I thought it was harsh.
But their schedule was hot garbage, just like the ACC. FSU knows it and that is one of many reasons they want out of the ACC.
They beat LSU, and that was a solid win.
Beating Florida, who sucked this year, was not much to crow about.
Beating Louisville in the championship game was not an impressive win either.

Alabama had 4 impressive wins, including Georgia.

True, but not their fault LSU and Florida had down years. Usually a win vs LSU would be monster.

Doesn't matter if it's their fault or not.
Facts are still the teams they beat weren't very good.

Unless SEC teams are inherently better than other teams - regardless of actual record and results.

(But if that's true, then doesn't that make Bama/Georgia also inherently better?)
