Raise your hand if you are fan of going undefeated in College Football. Question: Does that entitle you to a playoff berth and/or a #1 ranking.
In our minds--yes, it does.
Florida State has a legitimate claim as they held off a game Georgia Tech squad in the ACC Championship game Saturday night 37-35.
The win ran FSU's record to 13-0 on the season. The Seminoles haven't lost a game in over two years and are the only undefeated FBS team in the land.
Jameis Winston threw for 309 yards and 3 TD's and RB Dalvin Cook added 177 yards running on 31 carries to lead the Seminoles to the win.
Tech fought hard, Synjyn Days ran for 3 scores and a late TD with 1:47 left, gaving Tech one last shot at winning. But FSU recovered the onside kick and Cook got a first down with less than 1 minute left in the game and FSU was able to run out the clock.
Yes, the win locks up a College Football playoff berth for Florida State and it should. The only questions remaining for them is who they will be playing, when and where.

CFB Recap: FSU Stakes Claim to #1 After Whipping Florida
The game was over shortly after Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo drilled a 49-yard field goal in the 1st quarter.
FSU scored as needed and the University of Florida--well, they barely scored at all as the Seminoles beat their in-state rivals 37-7 in Gainesville.
Jameis Winston threw for 327 yards and 3 TD's, all to WR Kelvin Benjamin as Florida State climbs to 12-0 and after Alabama's loss, likely becomes the #1 team in all the land.
As for Florida, the loss, their 7th straight drops them to 4-8 and an offseason of change. The Gators offense, injuries aside struggled in every game and the defense while good, wasn't good enough to make a difference.
FSU moves on to the ACC title game next Saturday vs. Duke, a game where they likely will be heavily favored. And while the specter of Winston possibly being charged in a 2012 incident still hangs over the team, it doesn't appear it will change their status.
