Florida State AD alleges ESPN knew of College Football Playoff snub early on
Florida State’s athletic director believes ESPN must have known the Seminoles weren’t going to make the College Football Playoff… based on the reporter they sent to the school.
The general feeling from Florida State towards ESPN is not ideal these days, after many around the school seemed to point the finger somewhat in the network’s direction for the Seminoles’ historic College Football Playoff snub last year.
Now, the school’s athletic director is going a small step further. In a conversation with SiriusXM Radio, Seminoles AD Michael Alford claims that ESPN may have known Florida State was excluded from the playoff even before the official announcement.
How did ESPN know? Alford says it was because of the reporter the network sent to the Noles’ selection show event.
