After sitting around and discussing the one-month anniversary of the CFP Playoff Snub of Florida State, my Dad mentioned the notion that no one had really commented on how the decision by the Committee affected the social fabric of our society.

He looked at me and said, "You know what, I'll write it myself."

And so he did. Here it is:

CFP SNUB A MONTH LATER
A REFLECTION

by @steve_bakich

As I sit here writing this article 30 days after the “snub heard round the world,” I’m no longer angry (do you really believe that?) or confused by the twisted logic of the committee or the hypocrisy of the talking heads on TV. I’m mainly just sad.

This decision was about significantly more than whether Florida State deserved to be in the playoff or not. It was more about what we value as a society and some of the things we hold sacred.

For those of you who have spent a large portion of your lives playing sports or being involved in sports in any capacity, I think we can all agree that the value of sport is what it teaches us about life. From the time of our first little league tryout or our first touchdown scored we have been taught the tried-and-true lessons of pursuing excellence. Sacrifice, Hard Work, Putting Team Above Yourself, Working Together to achieve a Common Goal. That is and what always will be what makes sport special. It teaches us the values of greatness that translate to every aspect of our lives. How to be a better husband or wife, friend, employee, boss, etc. Employing the lessons of sacrifice for the greater good that we are taught in sport it strengthens us as a society as a whole.

So, as I now look back to December of 2022 when so many of the FSU players could have taken NFL money and run, yet they said no. They instead said I want to chase greatness and achieve something with my brothers that we have been building together. I will sacrifice short-term gain for the chance to pursue something pure. The thrill of competing to see if we can be the best. So, they all came back!

They went through 2 a days and a tough fall camp. They survived against quality opponents and some close calls and overcame adversity in countless ways and continued to find ways to win.

Near the end of the season, they lost their unquestioned leader but didn’t flinch. They changed tactics, others stepped up and they continued to win.

Then the backup to their unquestioned leader went down as well and now they were faced with dire circumstances heading into their most important game of the season. Did they panic? No! Did they flinch? NO! Did they believe in each other? You’re darn right they did and went out and beat the 14th-ranked team in the country. They were now an undefeated team in a Power 5 conference and were ready to fulfill the destiny that they all had come back for. The chance to pursue greatness and win it all!

BUT

They never got the chance. Why you may ask? Because some people in a conference room 1000 miles away thought 2 teams that had lost a game and not overcome adversity as perfectly as this team and had not found ways to win every single game they played were more deserving of a chance to hold the brass ring.

So, our heroes left the battlefield unconquered but disillusioned. Sad and disappointed that the ideals that they had been taught about sacrifice, brotherhood, pursuing excellence, and hard work only matter if the people really in charge say they do.

RIP the game I grew up with and loved!

25 yr old pizza delivery man runs into burning house, saves four children who tell him another might be in the house. He goes back in, finds the girl, jumps out a window with her, and carries her to a cop who captures the moment on his bodycam.
