The map is a joke, fellas.  An internet meme.  Look at who the state of Florida is rooting for in the CFP. :)

Listen, you know if FSU beats UGA and one of the one-loss CFP teams wins the whole thing, FSU is claiming a title out of it somehow.

Heck, the AP poll might even do the honors and vote 'em as champs, just for the fun of it.

Isn't the AP contractually bound to vote for the CFP champ?

The coaches' poll is.

The AP deliberately maintains its freedom from such restrictions in the interest of journalistic integrity.  That was the basis for them removing themselves from the BCS formula back in the day, as well.  They asserted there was a conflict of interest in directly influencing the things they were supposed to be merely observing and reporting.

Ahh, good to know. I thought both the AP and the Coaches poll were bound to vote for the BCS/CFP champ.

Apparently Herbstreit is getting angry comments on his Instagram, including saying he and his dog should go to hell, from FSU fans angry at him. 

Can we stop the world? I'd like to get off.

Back in 2018, 4 of the AP voters voted for undefeated Central Florida, instead of Alabama, as the #1 team.

I'm thinking up creative ways to explode the Orange Bowl.  IM me if you want in.

I don't understand this 14 point spread in  the Orange Bowl, at all.  Take the points and FSU.

The AP is basically a bunch of independent writers/reporters who do stories hoping they get picked up by some major media outlets and get paid.

The Orange Bowl, to me, is a huge unknowable.  I've seen "reports" that Carson Beck and Bowers won't play, and the #2 QB portaled to Kentucky.

Well, I've seen reports that FSU won't play as a team also, so "reports" at times quite possibly maybe COULD be faulty, dunno.
