In my last interview with Lavel Davis Jr., I asked why he was a part of the Groundskeepers at UVA, a group pushing for social change. His words, read now, bring tears to my eyes.
I have deliberately not been on this site but this is a good day to jump in and say: 1. This is an absolute travesty. 2. The committee should be ashamed for taking this away from 90+ players and coaches who EARNED IT. FSU got treated like a Mountain West school. Let that sink in.
Penn State plays a close game against Pitt and it's fine, yet Clemson plays a close game against UNC and WELL THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STRUGGLE AGAINST THE ACC*
*Unless you play in the Big Ten and have a marquee win against ... checks notes ... Iowa.
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.
Florida State is 3-0 - You know the sign of a good coach? Players who play their butts off for you. We are seeing that with the 2022 Noles. Been a long 3 years for Mike Norvell but he always believed - even when nobody else was willing to listen.
Clemson had a symptomatic player travel with their team on a plane test positive for COVID. FSU docs did not feel comfortable moving forward with the game. So ... yes the game was canceled because of COVID.
Dabo: "This game was not canceled because of COVID. COVID was just an excuse to cancel the game. … To me, the Florida State administration forfeited the game."
Once again so many mixed messages from the committee. G5 UNLV at 10-2 is ranked higher than 9-3 Syracuse … which has a H2H win over UNLV. So 10-2 > 9-3 in that case but 9-3 Bama > 10-2 Miami?
