What we learned today is that you can go undefeated and win your conference championship game, but the College Football Playoff committee will ignore these results. Congratulations to @FSUFootball for an outstanding season and winning the ACC championship!” DeSantis posted on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
There was speculation before the participants in the four-team playoff were announced that the Florida State Seminoles might not make the cut because they lost quarterback Jordan Travis for the rest of the season to a leg injury, raising questions about how competitive the team would be in the playoff.
Some critics saw the snub of Florida State as confirmation of the rumor that at least one spot in the college playoff is reserved for a team from the Southeastern Conference. Alabama upset the University of Georgia, which had been the No. 1 team in the country, to win the SEC championship over the weekend.
Alabama was ranked No. 8 heading into that game.
