Last night on the FSU game all the talk was about would they make the CFP if they beat Louisville and went 13-0 and won the ACC conference. Whereas on the Michigan game, there was no such talk. Nor on the Washington game. Those two were shoo-ins but FSU was not. Had Texas, UGA, or BAMA, been 13-0 they would be shoo 'ins no matter what. Half the team could have been out due to the clap, and they would still be in the CFP.
Most definitely the worst broadcast I'd ever heard. Zero about the game itself. Zero about who FSU matched up better with etc. So, yes, as soon as Bama won it had been predetermined.
