Florida State's AD thinks ESPN knew the team didn't make the College Football Playoff long before anyone else knew of the snub.

The general feeling from Florida State towards ESPN is not ideal these days, after many around the school seemed to point the finger somewhat in the network’s direction for the Seminoles’ historic College Football Playoff snub last year.

How did ESPN know? Alford says it was because of the reporter the network sent to the Noles' selection show event.“When we went to the selection show... look up and see who’s covering us and see that Marty Smith is in Tuscaloosa, that hit me that we’re not getting in,” Alford said. “I did not get really worried until I saw that.”

"And this player, who is no longer with us, is going, 'Follow the money. We're not gonna be in. Alabama won,'" referring to the Crimson Tide's win over Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. "'We're not going.'"
