SEC commissioner Greg Sankey took a little shot at Florida State with talk about how Georgia responded to missing the College Football Playoff.
last season despite being undefeated ACC champions, resulting in a tidal wave of negative reaction from fans, the school, and even politicians in the state.
"Think last year, was one of the four best teams, period," Sankey said on 1010 XL Radio. "There's people in your listening audience saying, 'Oh, there he goes again.' We didn't stomp our feet, we didn't, like, fly banners over places. That was one of the four best teams. Those are certainly comments that Florida State fans will take some offense to, believing that their reaction to the snub was entirely justified: the Seminoles became the first undefeated Power Five conference champion to miss out on the national semifinal, while Georgia had a loss.Instead, the selection committee sided with one-loss Alabama, which beat the then-undefeated and two-time defending national champion Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game.
Both those teams lost in the semifinals: Texas to Washington, and Alabama to eventual champion Michigan, further leading FSU fans to believe their team would have had a better chance.
