So, that happened.
The Florida State football team came into Saturday’s Orange Bowl against Georgia believing it deserved a chance in the College Football Playoff. They finished the regular season 13-0 and won the ACC championship thanks to a dominating defense that overcame an offense that struggled without Heisman candidate quarterback Jordan Travis.
The Seminoles were snubbed by the CFP committee, and the first half of the Orange Bowl gave FSU detractors plenty of ammunition. The Bulldogs ran up and down the field to a 42-3 lead, outgaining FSU 383-185 and averaging more than 11 yards per play. FSU freshman quarterback Brock Glenn went 7 of 22 for 121 yards and a late interception.
FAMU alum and comedian Roy Wood Jr. asked Twitter if the blowout proved Florida State didn’t belong in the playoff, or if it’s just a result of the dozens of opt-outs the Seminoles suffered before the game.
Ok so if most of FSU’s best players opted out in protest or to prep for draft or transfer portal, then it seems like the only way to make more bowl games more relevant will be to expand the CFB playoff well past 16 teams. only way to make more bowl games relevant no?
