Smith brutally said, “I bet you if Primetime Deion Sanders was that coach, they wouldn’t have gotten left out.” Thus, like Jason Whitlock, Smith also believes in the favoritism that the NCAA has continuously exhibited towards Deion throughout the season. The FSU fans haven’t taken too kindly to the playoff snub and with Mike Norvell’s recent statement, the tensions are going to increase drastically.

Norvell brutally said, “I am disgusted and infuriated with the committee’s decision today to have what was earned on the field taken away because a small group of people decided they knew better than the results of the games.” Thus the fans want Norvell to file a complaint against the controversial decision as the tensions between FSU and the CFP committee continue to rise.
