Not sure the last sentence - that the relationship between FSU and ESPN is broken - is the actual result of the story of realignment + CFP decision he was telling. I mean sure you can obviously see this as ESPN chose Bama/SEC over FSU/ACC. If FSU moved to the SEC they'd then get that preferential treatment. And it's not like if they were in the B10 ESPN would be giving them better treatment than they just did.

Plus I think it just will be easier to move from ACC to SEC because it's ESPN -> ESPN.

As I’ve said many of times, Swofford & the ACC Presidents/Chancellors/ADs who signed off on a deal propelled by nepotism were complete idiots. Every. Last. One. Of. Them.

Also, the p-word + sports = unintended consequences, & it’s not a coincidence, but this neither the time or place.

With that said, I still hate this thread.

He can have it.

He wrote a bunch of bull**** to justify his pre-existing bias that F$U really wants to pick the Big 10/Fox/CBS/NBC over the SEC/ESPN/ABC.

And who knows, maybe that's what will happen. But NOT for the bull**** reasons he cites.

Yes, Genetics would have you believe that F$U will try to PUNISH the entire ESPN/ABC network for the actions of a few ridiculous commentators, and turn their backs on the conference that F$U has been lusting over for decades.

Hey, while F$U is at it, they should boycott the bowl game and refuse to participate in the post-season any longer. Because revenge is more important than revenue.

Hilarious.

How do you think the rumored Seminole Streaming Network plays into this? (If at all)

When I reread it, I know it sounds like a parody **** channel, but I was told they are starting their own streaming platform.

FSU under Norvell does have a history of opting out of games they know they'll lose (see: Clemson 2020)

Not so sure about that. The committee followed its rules to a T. Travis went down and the competitiveness of FSU was drastically affected (I'd argue even with Travis they'd get their asses handed to them in the playoff, but they would have gotten in if Travis were healthy).

Regarding this pro-SEC bias, it would be interesting to see how the committee would have voted if the starting QB was lost to injury like what happened to FSU. It never did, but I think they would have followed their guidelines in that situation as well.

Has nothing to do with it. This is just "bonus content", it's not actual games or anything.

I liked this part:

Users can search by keywords including Seminoles, Noles, Florida State, pegging, frottage, cuckhold, and FSU, to view a personalized selection of clips.

The committee did NOT "follow its rules to a T". That's a lie.

If the CFP was sooooooo concerned with F$U's loss of Jordan Travis, they could have dropped F$U in THE PRIOR WEEK, since Travis was out for the rest of the season.

In fact, the week after Jordan Travis was injured, the CFP moved F$U UP UP UP one spot to #4, even though they could have allowed other 1-loss teams to jump F$U AT THAT TIME.

Except...that never happened.

The CFP only became concerned about the "loss of Jordan Travis" when it became obvious that the SEC would otherwise be shut out. SUDDENLY, the CFP gave a **** about "Jordan Travis" because a third-string QB with 4 prior passes had to TEMPORARILY step in for Rodemaker, the second-stringer who would have started in the playoffs. The same Rodemaker who was "good enough" for the CFP Committee to move F$U UP one spot the week prior.

What a bunch of BULL**** the CFP Committee spewed on you. Shame on you for slurping up all of their lies.
