The FSU playoff snub while met with shock, bewilderment, and criticism of a playoff committee that lost credibility in most circles, on ESPN their media personalities ripped FSU at every opportunity, some laughed at their exclusion, and many others clearly went against the very nature of what sports is. Some even alluded that FSU never had a chance to get in.
Booger McFarland you’re good. Everyone knows you were the rare voice of reason.
Now the ACC Network is owned by ESPN. I do watch it, but usually it felt like a channel that was more “about” the ACC than “for” the ACC. The past few days that changed. Maybe the ACC Network Media personalities will all be suspended, but for 48-72 hours there was much-needed outrage at the playoff selection.

suits in offices have upended so much of what makes college football great in recent years, but 1 truth remained: Fall Saturdays were sacrosanct. But by treating the rankings like they were casting a tv show, the committee turned its back on that too.

I am spitting nails and have nowhere to spit them, and while I want nothing to do with this site, I have a lot to say. Florida State rose from the depths of hell – as one player said yesterday – to go 13-0 and win an ACC title with an 18-year-old QB who missed half the season.

“Yesterday, [the committee] lost their integrity.”

One question where is ACC Commissioner Jim Philips? He put out a little statement Sunday and has been MIA since. He does realize he can go on this very network, and blast just about whomever he wants. As usual, he just doesn’t get this aspect of his job.
You have a network so use it.
These ACC Media personalities did really let loose on the debacle of the playoff selection, and I applaud them.
