Florida State Denied CFP Spot

The Florida State Seminoles were left in shock and sorrow after they were denied a spot for the College Football Playoffs when the final rankings were released. Head Coach Mike Norvell released a statement to express his frustration and justified anger at the news.

In his statement, Norvell labelled it “a sad day for Seminole Nation” and noted how they were, in his view, “extremely deserving to be in the field of four.” He went on to further state how he “could not be any more disgusted, outraged or infuriated” with the decision by the College Football Playoff committee.
