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 did exactly what Alabama did.
They went out of their way to schedule a Top 5 opponent (SEC School | LSU) and play them on a neutral.
Florida State waxed said LSU team 45-24.
Florida State is 13-0 & ACC Champs.
Florida State has wins over AP
#5 LSU (45-24)
#16 Duke (38-20)
#15 Louisville (16-6)
I get it, Jordan Travis is out… These players deserve a shot at a National Championship whether you think they do or not. The entire team isn’t Jordan Travis. I repeat, these players AND coaches are OWED a shot.
It’s why you PLAY THE GAMES.
