Jermaine Johnson of the Jets says it’s terrible for football for Florida State not to make it to the College Football Playoffs.
After watching the 13-0 Seminoles eliminated from the College Football Playoffs, Jermaine Johnson of the New York Jets is just another angry fan of Florida State football.
Johnson is no longer the same player he was as a top prospect at Florida State, where he attended his final year of study following two seasons at Georgia before the Jets selected him in the first round of the draft.
On Monday, reporters questioned Johnson regarding the selection committee’s choice to rank the SEC champion Alabama Crimson Tide at No. 4 rather than the unbeaten Seminoles in order to compete for the national championship. Alabama’s record was 12-1 before they were defeated by Texas, ranked third, earlier in the season.
Many others have voiced their opinions on Florida State being left out despite winning the ACC Championship over Louisville on Saturday to maintain their stellar 13-0 perfect record heading into bowl season.
It wasn’t expected that Florida State would end up in this position, especially after losing their star quarterback Jordan Travis for the season. But between backups Tate Rodemaker and Brock Glenn, the Seminoles got the offense they needed and relied on their prolific defense to finish off the rest of their opponents.
Numerous other people have expressed their disapproval of Florida State’s exclusion despite the fact that they defeated Louisville on Saturday to retain their incredible 13-0 perfect record going into bowl season.
Florida State’s situation was unexpected, particularly in light of the fact that their star quarterback Jordan Travis was sidelined for the season. However, the Seminoles got the offensive they required from backups Tate Rodemaker and Brock Glenn, and they depended on their potent defence to shut out the remainder of their opponents.
Nonetheless, the selection committee believed that FSU’s strong schedule played a role in their decision to exclude them.
Boo Corrigan, the chairman of the selection committee, stated during a post-reveal teleconference that “it’s a factor, and it’s part of our protocol as we look at it.” “Although Florida State’s schedule was considerably weaker than Alabama’s, these are still two excellent teams. Only the teams in front of you may be played, etc.
“Considering the players’ availability was crucial to the current situation. As I believe someone mentioned, losing a wide receiver or a running back doesn’t affect the offence as a whole when the quarterback is as dynamic as Jordan Travis. That played a significant role in the committee’s decision-making process throughout,” Corrigan stated.
As part of the annual New Year’s Six games, Florida State will now play Georgia in the Orange Bowl. Georgia was ranked as the top team in the CFP until losing to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game.
