@FernandezAndreC @MiamiHerald Andre, you are an incredible person and journalist, and more recently, a true jack of all trades at the Herald. This is a tremendous loss. We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done covering HS sports. Praying that you land on your feet soon. You deserve it.

The best part of football, right here:

The only thing this Rose bowl “proves” is the committee doesn’t care about the regular season or cheating.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

The product you see on the field in this Georgia vs Florida State game is a direct representation of what you get when a team gets snubbed from the CFP and you tell the kids the games they play don’t matter. Opt-outs ruined the game.

@LBsand66 The victory celebration at the Phyrst when FSU defeated Nebraska in 1980 was epic. Free pitchers or beer for 3 hours after the game. There was an inch of beer on the floor when it was all said and done.

@Doc_Tunes @TJ_Pittinger If the screw job happened to whatever team you supported. You would still be bellyaching as well. You are a moron.

[Booger @ESPNBooger]

I just watched Berkeley prep beat Miami Norland. Norland has 15 D1 players. That’s why u play the game on grass not in a board room. Someone send that to Boo Corrigan #seminoles

[Manny Navarro @Manny_Navarro]

Dan Mullen for the win 🏆

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine saying that.

Statement from Michael Alford, Vice President and Athletics Director, Florida State University

"The consequences of giving in to a narrative of the moment are destructive, far reaching, and permanent. Not just for Florida State, but college football as a whole."

"The argument of whether a team is the 'most deserving OR best' is a false equivalence. It renders the season up to yesterday irrelevant and significantly damages the legitimacy of the College Football Playoff. The 2023 Florida State Seminoles are the epitome of a total TEAM. To eliminate them from a chance to compete for a national championship is an unwarranted injustice that shows complete disregard and disrespect for their performance and accomplishments. It is unforgiveable."

"The fact that this team has continued to close out victories in dominant fashion facing our current quarterback situation should have ENHANCED our case to get a playoff berth EARNED on the field. Instead, the committee decided to elevate themselves and 'make history' today by departing from what makes this sport great by excluding an undefeated Power 5 conference champion for the first time since the advent of the BCS/CFP era that began 25 years ago. This ridiculous decision is a departure from the competitive expectations that have stood the test of time in college football."

"Wins matter. Losses matter. Those that compete in the arena know this. Those on the committee who also competed in the sport and should have known this have forgotten it. Today, they changed the way success is assessed in college football, from a tangible metric - winning on the field - to an intangible, subjective one. Evidently, predicting the future matters more."

"For many of us, today's decision by the committee has forever damaged the credibility of the institution that is the College Football Playoff. And, saddest of all, it was self-inflicted. They chose predictive competitiveness over proven performance; subjectivity over fact. They have become a committee of prognosticators. They have abandoned their responsibility by discarding their purpose – to evaluate performance on the field."

"Our players, coaches, and fans - as well as all those who love this sport - deserve better. The committee failed college football today."

Tell them again @RGIII ‼️

It’s all a sham.

ATHLETES: Appreciate the MEMORIES. Live in the PRESENT.

When your athletic career is done, you will miss the…

- Bus trips
- Locker room
- Competition
- Joy of a Win
- Team Family
- Team dinners
- Camaraderie

DISCIPLINE IS A WAY OF LIFE

This entire clip from Coach Saban is pure gold. Discipline is everything. Every player should watch this clip understanding how they do drills in practice, how they warm up, or do anything is a mentality. It can't be turned on or off.

[Coach Gonzalez M.Ed @gonz5307]

Development ‼️ Everyone wants to coach the dudes or coach the finished products… My respect goes to the ones who develop and take that kid nobody had on their radar and turn him into a starter!

7 on 7 doesn’t prepare you for this moment #T

[Brady Grayvold @CoachGrayvold]

Somewhere in America, a parent of a HS football player is yelling at the Head Coach that this offense won’t get their son recruited…

[JJ Watt @JJWatt]

The game is not important.

Damar Hamlin’s life is important.

Please be ok. Please.
