I feel terrible for FSU. The committee’s decision to leave them out of the playoffs is unprecedented and nonsensical. It’s an affront to what it means to play a TEAM sport. It makes more sense for Georgia to be in over Texas than FSU to be left out. 13-0. You can’t beat that.
Florida State is the first Undefeated Power 5 Conference Champion to not get into the College Football Playoff. Despite the ACC having a 6-4 record against the SEC this year. Despite their defense not giving up 30 points in a single game all year. Despite their offense having more yards in the ACC Championship than Michigan had in the Big 10 Championship. Despite holding Louisville’s Top 20 Offense to 6 points. Despite beating 4 Top 25 teams. Despite finding a way to win with their Back up QB in a bitter rivalry game. Despite finding a way to win with their 3rd string QB in the ACC Championship Game. Florida State EARNED their spot in the CFP on the field. With and Without Jordan Travis. You don’t punish or diminish the work of 100+ players and coaches because 1 player is not there on the field calling the shots. FSU always answered the bell this year and their response to losing their QB was to play POSSESSED ON DEFENSE. It’s an absolute travesty that they were excluded from the CFP.
Florida State got absolutely hosed. They have Atleast 2 first round picks. Talent all over the field, goes undefeated, and still on the outside looking in. 2-0 vs SEC teams this season. 2014 Buckeyes got in with a third string QB. FSU Shld have been in!
Dewey, Lucious, and Lee Roy Selmon; three brothers who captivated a nation, a fan base and a backfield, all together. Their legendary legacies have left an imprint on OU football forever.

Vouchers don’t help poor kids — they just help rich parents who already send their kids to private school.
I asked if Greg Abbott’s voucher scam would give $80,000 to wealthy CEOs.
The answer was YES. #txlege
@jimknight99@jimknight99 That the goal of a session isn’t just to find a solution. The goal is to push teachers to think deeply. The teacher should be the one doing the heavy lifting of thinking during a session.
@BrandeeJMorris@lifeschools Great quote! It’s critical students analyze their own work. They often don’t realize the great choices they’re making until given a chance to reflect.
A spoken word poem kicked off the Super Bowl coin flip. You heard me...POETRY kicked off football. If you’re an ELA teacher and not teaching Spoken Word, you’re missing the opportunity of a lifetime. Poetry is now mainstream pop culture. That hasn’t been true in generations.
Engagement has dominated discussion during new teacher PD recently. Thanks to today’s @jimknight99 training, I have a framework for identifying the kind of engagement, measures, and strategies that will give context to HOW we use zoom, Flipgrid, polleverwhere, padlet, kahoot, etc
Ms. Andrew, one of our amazing Bio and A&P teachers, showed Liv how to dissect a sheep’s heart. She had a PPT for her and everything. I work with amazing people @lifemustangs, and it was fun to see Liv’s love of science on full display.
