Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced Tuesday that she is launching an investigation into the College Football Playoff selection committee over the decision to leave Florida State out of the top four.
This is the kind of rather expected publicity stunt I dislike.  He's going to pretend to investigate and get some headlines ending up with squat which is never announced.

Didn't a 1-loss Florida State get into the Bowl Coalition ahead of an undefeated West Virginia in 1993?  Is the Florida governor checking into that, as well?

When I heard that announced, I immediately thought "Hmmm. Nothing better to do for the State?"

Hell, we still have people living outside of their homes in trailers from a storm that happened on 9/28/22.

WTF.

If memory serves, there was some part of the stunt to set a million bucks in the budget aside to pursue this legal action. I’m sure it will be crossed off at some point, but it was good for attention.

RonD just announced it last week.

Not a good move, for me, but for the 'necks in the handle, sure.

jumped them as well as a notre dame team that also had one loss & had beaten them h2h iirc.  that wva team did get rammycacked by somebody in their bowl which is an aside to your valid point.

Correct on ND. They lost to 9-3 BC the week after they beat FSU.

WVU schedule was a problem.

Bobby Bowden and Charlie Ward were probably deserving of that slot.
What should be investigated is the collusion with the Orange Bowl officiating crew that obviously was helping the Seminoles that night.

Why?  They had a loss. WVU was undefeated.

Did FSU deserve to go based on the EYE TEST????

perhaps they were using the Vegas line back in the day as suggested by someone

Huskers were 17 point dogs to the Noles

I made $100.  Skers covered
