Danny Kanell recently hosted former Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski on his show to discuss the College Football Playoff’s omission of Florida State, and the frustration over the decision lingers, even for Coach K.
In a recent radio appearance, Coach K expressed his discontent, deeming Florida State’s snub as “bullcrap.”
He highlighted the team’s resilience, especially after the quarterback’s injury, emphasizing their exceptional defensive and special teams performance, which he believes went unnoticed. Despite winning a Power 5 championship with a third-string quarterback and allowing only six points in the crucial game, the College Football Playoff Committee placed FSU at No. 5 while choosing Alabama for the playoffs.

Coach K’s frustration stems from recognizing FSU’s unique path to success, showcasing toughness and an alternative approach to championship-winning. Despite this, the committee’s decision has set up FSU to face the Georgia Bulldogs in the Orange Bowl, while Alabama is set to play the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl.
Coach K’s opinions carry weight, and his critique resonates, especially given FSU’s commendable performance and their subsequent placement in the playoff rankings.
