Hello everyone. As most of you are aware by now Florida State was inexplicably left out of the college football playoff, despite winning the ACC Championship game over a top-15 Louisville team (who may have been top-10 had they not lost at home to Kentucky the week earlier) and going undefeated in the regular season. All this while having their star quarterback and playmaker, Jordan Travis, out for the season with a leg injury, and having their backup out for their game against Louisville due to concussion protocol. Instead, the Seminoles will now face Georgia in the Orange Bowl.
On the surface, there appears to be much outrage from FSU fans and non-FSU fans about them being overlooked. However, there could be reason for why they were left out, and it isn't what many people think. Who airs the CFP? ESPN. The same entity that is the reason that there are so damn many college bowl games to begin with. Who is ESPN owned by? The Walt Disney Corporation. Who has Disney been at odds with for the past few years? None other than Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Now, I'm not sure whether or not DeSantis is a Seminoles fan (nor do I care), but isn't at least somewhat interesting that Disney decided to stick it to DeSantis by leaving off Florida State from the college football playoff? I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Hide the pain, Ron.
