Twitter reacts to Penn State's exclusion from CFP Top 4
The College Football Playoff committee released its final playoff rankings Sunday, and the Big Ten champions came up one spot short.
Penn State fell into the No. 5 spot after defeating Wisconsin to earn its first conference championship since 2008. When the news of the Nittany Lions placement by the committee broke, Twitter began to provide some interesting reactions.
I happen to think that Conference Championships should mean something. My playoff teams would be Alabama, Clemson, Washington, Penn State.

This CONFIRMS that CFB is driven by money and the Playoff is NO better than the BCS.

Television personality Skip Bayless agreed that a team did get robbed by the CFP committee in its rankings, but not Penn State.
Michigan beat Big 10 champ Penn State 49-10 and took OhioSt to 2 OTs at OhioSt. Michigan is one of the four best teams in the country.
