Avast ye scurvy dogs! Methinks Kirk Herbstreit be havin' a longin' to say Florida State be not one o' the finest four crews in the land, and he be stickin' to his guns on this fine Wednesday. Har-har!
Florida State fans are still upset about being left out of the College Football Playoff despite their perfect record and ACC championship win. The committee chose Alabama and Texas instead, citing their victories in the SEC and Big 12 title games. Fans are finding it hard to accept these reasons and have been criticizing ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit for his support of the committee's decision. Herbstreit defended his opinion, stating that he believes Alabama, Texas, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, and Georgia are all better teams than Florida State. He also reminded fans of the 2000 BCS championship when the Seminoles were chosen over a great Miami team. Herbstreit emphasized that he watches games, analyzes teams, and gives his honest take on who he believes are the best four teams. He expressed that he loves the sport and wants what's best for it, even if his opinions don't please everyone. Florida State will now face Georgia in the Orange Bowl instead of playing in the playoff. Both teams have coaches who felt their teams deserved a playoff spot. Despite the disappointment, Herbstreit wished Florida State the best and expressed hope that the expanded playoff format next year would bring about a fairer system.
