Bowl projections: Most national media forecast FSU is in the CFP
Florida State passed all of its tests on the field — a 12-0 regular season with seven wins over bowl-eligible teams as well as a dominating performance by the defense to clinch the ACC championship on Saturday night.
No unbeaten Power 5 team has been jumped by a one-loss program into a national championship game or playoff in the last 25 years. But Alabama's win over Georgia touched off the chaos scenario and the debate is on for five teams for four seats at the table.
The final CFP four teams will be revealed on ESPN at noon. What do the national media think will happen? Here's a look:
