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.
I’m excited for these playoffs games. By the new CFP logic, it won’t be the team that wins that moves on. It will be the team that looks better and has better statistics that moves on, regardless of what the score says. Should be fun to watch.
I do understand why FSU is getting harsh judgement. I mean
-only a 1-score lead against a G5 in the 4th
-lost at home by 2 scores
-only won by 3 at home to a 4-8 team
-needed a Hail Mary to beat a 6-win team.
Ohhhhh, sorry. That was Alabama’s season @CFBPlayoff
@jordantrav13 You have nothing to be sorry for, Jordan. You, and your team, played an incredible season and y'all deserve to be in it. It's a team sport and your team truly stepped up once you got hurt. I've never been an FSU fan, but I am now 👍
#CFP committee chairman Boo Corrigan doing some serious tap dancing about picking Bama over FSU.
BOO, Boo. You and your committee got it wrong. FSU did everything asked of it. Bama was dominated by Texas, crummy vs. USF and lucky as all hell vs. Auburn.
Isn't college football supposed to be so cool because one loss can wreck your season?
But then if you go 13-0 and even win with backup QBs ... THAT wrecks your season?
Why do they even play games? Why don't we just look at recruiting rankings in August and be done with it?
The #CFP committee spokesman states that Michigan’s caught cheating head coach being suspended never went into their evaluation, because “they’re players found a way to bond together, and kept the mission at heart”.
The double standard is unreal.
@MikeGriffith32 I vote "cheating refs give game to Bama". Bond "no catch" would've taken away a touchdown, Milton missed facemask would've given Georgia 1st and goal, horse collar that wasn't there, & numerous, blatant, uncalled holding penalties. Those refs shouldn't even call pee wee games.
I once played for “the worst playoff team ever” & we found ourselves 2:30 from winning the Super Bowl & “Shocking the World”, bc we earned the right to play the game!!! #JustSayingForAFriend
devastated. heartbroken. In so much disbelief rn, I wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y’all could see this team is much more than the quarterback. I thought results matter. 13-0 and this roster matches up across any team in those top 4 rankings. I am so sorry. Go Noles!
