The College Football Playoff committee has responded to a demand for answers from Florida Senator and former governor Rick Scott, saying it is “confident they made the right decisions in ranking the best four teams in the country based on the protocol and we all look forward to great playoff games.”
Florida State was left out of the College Football Playoff despite finishing the year 13-0 with an ACC title, a shattering of precedent that has seen outrage from nearly each faction of the college football world outside Tuscaloosa, Gainesville, Coral Gables and Bristol.
In response many Florida politicians, made various statements and demands, with Scott asking for records and answers in an effort to pinpoint what behind the decision including the votes of members and communications between the committee and ESPN.
