Column: College football delivers the perfect fiasco to cap the four-team playoff era

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! The commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference got it all wrong when he sent out a defiant statement Sunday claiming “college football deserved better.” Actually, college football got just what it deserved. The 12-team playoff will finally arrive with the 2024 season, but that’s too late to help a Florida State team that won every game and slugged out a 16-6 victory over Louisville in the ACC championship game, despite being down to its third-string quarterback because of injuries. “It’s unfathomable that Florida State, an undefeated Power Five conference champion, was left out of the College Football Playoff,” ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said. College football deserved better.” Not surprisingly, Phillips declined to mention that his conference initially resisted efforts to expand the playoff from four to 12 teams, which could’ve happened as soon as this season — and ensured the Seminoles and two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs were included in the postseason.
