CNN —Sunday’s announcement of the four teams selected for the College Football Playoff sent shockwaves through the sport.
Instead of folding, Florida State rallied, coming from behind on the road to defeat Florida in Gainesville with backup quarterback Tate Rodemaker.
With the selection, the Crimson Tide will make its eighth appearance in the College Football Playoff, the most of any team.
Speaking on ESPN on Sunday, College Football Playoff committee chair Boo Corrigan explained why FSU was left out of the top four.
It renders the season up to yesterday irrelevant and significantly damages the legitimacy of the College Football Playoff.
