🚨 | ESPN has finally admitted that the CFP Committee was plotting to steal Florida State's Playoff spot for WEEKS
🎙️ | Desmond Howard: "At the end of the day, [the committee] wanted to have an SEC school in there...In the 3 weeks leading up to last weekend, it was already discussed how FSU was going to be left out, to have Texas & Alabama jump."
Keep in mind that 3 weeks ago, FSU was 10-0 & Jordan Travis wasn't injured. This completely DESTROYS the committee's narrative that FSU was left out solely due to his injury
Instead, it's clear that the goal was always to include the SEC. ESPN, the committee's closest partner, stood to benefit BIG financially by including Alabama 💸
Sadly, the integrity of the sport was compromised for money. In the process, Florida State was DERAUDED into thinking that they'd get a fair shot in the Playoff race
So what's next? Lawmakers are calling for increased transparency to guarantee that a situation like FSU never happens again in college football 💪
This is a very big moment...
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.
