ESPN analyst Booger McFarland did not agree with the College Football Playoff leaving out Florida State football in favor of Alabama on Sunday.

He didn't mince his words on the matter. He bashed the playoff selection committee, headed by chairman Boo Coorigan, for taking 12-1, SEC champion Alabama over the Seminoles.

"To me, this is a travesty to the sport," McFarland said Sunday on ESPN's selection show. "Because we go out there on the field and we play the game. And regardless of if it looks good at the quarterback position, regardless of if we win with offense, whether we win with defense, the name of the game is to win.

"And there's a reason (that) never before this has been done. Winning a Power Five conference, going undefeated and not getting into the playoff. I understand we want to look at style points. And who we're gonna get for the best matchups. But that's not what this is about. This is about understanding to get the four best teams. One team has a loss, and that's Alabama. One team doesn't, in Florida State.

"And the fact that this committee could take a Power Five conference champion that's undefeated, those kids have gone out there and busted their behind and not get into the playoff based on the eye test. Mind you, this is the same Alabama team that who needed a prayer in Jordan-Hare to beat an Auburn team that lost to New Mexico State. That's really what has me bothered now."

The No. 5 Seminoles (13-0, 8-0 ACC) are the first team in the history of the CFP to go undefeated with a Power Five conference championship and not make the final top-four ranking. On Saturday, Florida State defeated Louisville 16-6 in the ACC Championship with third-string quarterback Brock Glenn, who came in after Tate Rodemaker was unable to start due to injury.

One of the main reasons mentioned against Florida State's case for the College Football Playoff was the loss of quarterback Jordan Travis, who suffered a season-ending injury against North Alabama on Nov. 18. The Crimson Tide was ranked No. 8 heading into Saturday, until it defeated then-No. 1 Georgia to bolster its CFP resume.

McFarland joined ESPN in 2014 after a nine-year NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts. He was drafted 15th overall in the 1999 NFL Draft after starring at LSU.
