Alabama's added factor helped bolster case for CFP over Florida State, ex-Georgia star says

Former Georgia QB Aaron Murray appears on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich" to talk about the controversy in the College Football Playoff.

The College Football Playoff Selection Committee sparked outrage Sunday when officials chose Alabama to be in the four-team field over Florida State despite the Seminoles going unbeaten.

Former Georgia Bulldogs star quarterback Aaron Murray appeared on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich" on Monday and broke down Alabama and Florida State’s bonafides.

"You have a 12-1 Alabama football team that just won the SEC, that beat the No. 1 team in the country – that team had 29 straight wins, back-to-back national champs," Murray said. "Your only loss is to the No. 3 team in the country in Texas. That is an incredible argument. The only thing against Alabama is you lost to Texas, who is the No. 3 team in the country. That’s a pretty solid resume.

"Florida State, what is your resume? You went 13-0. You won a Power 5 Conference. What’s your negative? Your starting quarterback is hurt. That is so nitpicky for both those teams not to be in the discussion for the final four or to be in the Playoff."
