Paul Finebaum Calls Out ACC Commissioner After Florida State's Snub

by Andrew Gould “I don’t mean to point fingers back at the ACC, but the ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips put out this manifesto earlier, outraged and 'unfathomable' — I think was his word — but he was one of those three commissioners that joined that alliance a couple of years ago that really stopped the 12-team playoff from being in existence today," Finebaum said, per On3's Grant Grubbs. The ACC, Big Ten, and Pac-12 formed an alliance to stick together over common goals. In January 2022, Phillips said it was "not the right time" to expand past four teams. He probably thinks differently at the moment. Florida State was the lone Power Five champion secluded despite staying unbeaten with an ACC title win over Louisville.”

This is about sliding a Top 5 brand in for a Top 15 brand IMO.

The finger of blame goes to Greg Sankey there.

Yes they blew it. Georgia Should be #4 with FSU #3
HOO86 • 12/05/23 09:31 AM ET
I think Texas only because they played an elimination game vs Bama
reestuart • 12/05/23 09:54 AM ET
so, FSU was snubbed out of spite. Got it. Even in the expanded CFP, FSU

Looks like a payback proposition!

I hear that, but with 12 teams going forward, the worst shafting probably..

If you think the shafting of the ACC will be fixed by going to 12...

The B12 is in the same boat, and we don't have ND. **

We get nothing for our association with ND...

Its a two way street
TerryD • 12/04/23 09:19 AM ET
ND made the playoff the one year they played an ACC schedule. Coincidence?**
EDGEMAN • 12/04/23 09:24 AM ET
They made it one year as an independent too. Coincidence?
