The controversy that surrounds the Florida State University after last night’s CFP snub continues to grow. Mike Norvell’s team failed to make it among the top four spots in the playoffs despite having an undefeated season as the Atlantic Coast champions.

The fans have stormed X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to express their frustration with the CFP committee’s decision. Most college football fans believe that Florida deserves the fourth spot rather than Alabama, and the debate caused an uproar on the latest episode of the ‘Undisputed’ show as well.

Skip said, “SEC West is by far the best conference in the country. I dare anybody to tell me that Texas could beat Georgia right now on a neutral field because they can’t I know.” This led to an angry rant by Richard as he persistently stated his brutal opinions against the SEC West. Sherman said, ”They are an overrated conference. So yeah playing against each other when you don’t play against anybody else it looks like oh my God LSU was ranked eight Arkansas was ranked 16 such etc etc and then those teams go play other teams in other conferences and they take L’s. You should not punish a team that went undefeated just because their quarterback got injured.”

Following his harsh words, it was time for Keyshawn to take to the mic, and he retaliated against everything that Sherman said. Keyshawn stated, “The last several weeks of the Season Bama has been playing like one of the top four teams in the country that’s why they’re in it Richard, that’s why they’re in it.” Thus, it’s obvious that the FSU issue has the entirety of the college football community on edge, and it’ll continue to gain more traction following Mike Norvell’s brutal words for the CFP.

Norvell went on a fiery rant and said, “I am disgusted and infuriated with the committee’s decision today to have what was earned on the field taken away because a small group of people decided they knew better than the results of the games.” Thus, he is not happy about how the events have unfolded for the team, and it doesn’t seem like he’ll get over the major upset as of yet.

"Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true."- Salman Rushdie Hi, my name's Jeevesh Singh and I'm an NFL writer here at EssentiallySports. The sport has been on my radar because of the sort of aggressiveness with which the game is played, perhaps the only one in the world that allows such a brutal display of power.
