Not just for Florida State, but college football as a whole,&#8221; Alford said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The argument of whether a team is the &#8216;most deserving OR best&#8217; is a false equivalence. It renders the season up to yesterday irrelevant and significantly damages the legitimacy of the College Football Playoff. The 2023 Florida State Seminoles are the epitome of a total TEAM. To eliminate them from a chance to compete for a national championship is an unwarranted injustice that shows complete disregard and disrespect for their performance and accomplishments.

Losses matter. Those that compete in the arena know this,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Those on the committee who also competed in the sport and should have known this have forgotten it. Today, they changed the way success is assessed in college football, from a tangible metric \u2013 winning on the field \u2013 to an intangible, subjective one. Evidently, predicting the future matters more.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For many of us, today&#8217;s decision by the committee has forever damaged the credibility of the institution that is the College Football Playoff. And, saddest of all, it was self-inflicted. They chose predictive competitiveness over proven performance; subjectivity over fact. They have become a committee of prognosticators. They have abandoned their responsibility by discarding their purpose \u2013 to evaluate performance on the field.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our players, coaches, and fans \u2013 as well as all those who love this sport \u2013 deserve better.
