Kirk Herbstreit, a quarterback for Ohio State University, has had enough of the fight for the College Football Playoff pitting the four best teams against the four most deserving teams.
The renowned ESPN analyst has had enough of Florida State supporters whining about how they should have been admitted and how Texas and Alabama were passed over.
In response to a fan’s question on social media about why he had Alabama ahead of Florida State by one defeat before to Jordan Travis’s injury, Herbstreit was candid.
In response, Herbstreit went off on a rant about how he thought Texas and Alabama in particular were stronger teams than the Seminoles for the playoffs. He even mentioned how FSU defeated a University of Miami team that had defeated them in the regular season and was far superior to them to advance to the 2001 BCS National Championship Game (2000 season). Herbstreit is not here to throw a pity party for the ‘Noles; rather, he is wishing them nothing but the best.
Because Alabama is BETTER!!Period! So is Texas. So is Michigan. So is Washington. So is Oregon. So is Georgia. I watch 10-15 games a week live from September-early December. I think I’m allowed to have an opinion on who I think is BETTER!! If FSU doesn’t like itbis “The BEST 4” tell the conference commissioners to change the protocol to “MOST DESERVING.” Until then I and everyone else is certainly is allowed to give an opinion in a subjective discussion!! Don’t like it-change it. Its funny when FSU went ahead of The U in 2000 after Dorsey and the boys beat the Noles and FSU went instead of a deserving Canes team to the BCS Championship where they lost to Oklahoma I didn’t hear from all of you about the system being rigged and it’s not fair. You were big fans of the turnout back then-of course most of you, in this despicable lunatic fringe, probably didn’t even know about 2000 when the Noles got the benefit over a GREAT Miami team! Listen man I have always loved FSU going back to the 80’s. Bobby Bowden-the uni’s-the swag-the consistency-something about that brand I was always attracted to and what happened with 5-6 teams having a shot at the playoff and the Noles being undefeated and left out-SUCKS-but I have to give an opinion on who I think the best 4 teams are. I’m not on the committee-I don’t vote-I watch games-I analyze teams and I give my take. That’s it. And if you think I have an agenda or a motive I’m sorry you feel that way but it’s wrong. I love this sport and care about it deeply and can’t make everyone happy-I ask questions of the commissioners in the offseason to understand things clearly-Watch games and give my opinion. If it’s for your team you love me and if it’s against you hate me. I wish it were different and hopefully next year with 12 teams it will be. I am a huge fan of Coach Norvell’s and his team and wish the Noles nothing but the best.
