That's part of the criteria. Here is a quote from The Ringer ...

on election process:

"But that’s not how it played out. Florida State was omitted from the playoff because its starting quarterback, Jordan Travis, and backup quarterback, Tate Rodemaker, are both injured. Third-stringer Brock Glenn went 8-of-21 for just 55 passing yards in a 16-6 win over Louisville in Saturday’s ACC championship game. The committee’s official selection principles listed on the playoff website include conference championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head competition, and comparative outcomes against common opponents. Crucially, they also include “other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.” That last principle came into effect here."

It sucks, but the injury to Travis was the death knell to FSU. I feel bad for them. I'd be pissed too, but it is part of the criteria.
