Mike Norvell’s explosive statement after Florida State’s Playoff rejection was pure fire

The Florida State head coach absolutely torched the College Football Playoff committee for leaving out the Noles.

Florida State football hired Mike Norvell as head coach after a successful run with Memphis. Norvell’s tenure in Tallahassee was a slow burn, to put it lightly: FSU went 3-6 in his first year during the Covid-shortened season of 2020, and then went 5-7 in 2021. Slowly, Norvell’s Seminoles started to make progress, with a 10-3 season and a win in the Cheez-It Bowl a year ago setting the table for a highly anticipated campaign this year.

Florida State finished the year undefeated, winning the ACC with a perfect 13-0 record. It still won’t get a chance to play for the national championship. In the final year of the four-team playoff, the College Football Playoff selection committee picked one-loss Alabama and Texas over FSU. As our JP Acosta wrote, leaving FSU out is a “disgrace and disservice” to the sport.

Norvell went all-in with his statement after his Seminoles were wrongfully denied a chance at college football glory. This is one of the strongest statements you will ever read by a scorned head coach.

The reality is that Florida State would have been in the College Football Playoff if senior QB Jordan Travis didn’t suffer a season-ending leg injury. Travis sent his own devastating tweet after the committee’s decision. It just isn’t fair to hold an injury over a team that just won its conference with an undefeated record, something Texas and Alabama couldn’t say.

Norvell went to bat for his team and his fan base in their lowest moment. FSU deserved so much better. Even if FSU can’t play for a national title, they know they have a coach who has their back with Norvell. After a slow start to his time with the ‘Noles, Norvell has done everything to prove he’s the right man for the job in Tallahassee.
