FSU's chances were killed by their QB being injured, not the conference schedule. If anything the schedule helped their argument by allowing them to keep winning despite the injury.

Twist makes a good point that the selection committees have been generally kind to Clemson/FSU. I would add this year had a particularly strong crop of contenders. It is probably something of an outlier year in how many programs had a very strong case. FSU probably makes it every other time. Maybe even UGA too as a 1-loss SEC team, coming off consecutive championships.
