Investigation Launched Into College Football Playoff Controversy

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is not happy about Florida State getting snubbed by the committee and has decided to launch an investigation into the College Football Playoff....

quote:
"I’m a lifelong Gator, but I’m also the Florida Attorney General, and I know injustice when I see it,” Moody said, via the Tampa Bay Times. “No rational person or college football fan can look at this situation and not question the result. The NCAA, conferences, and the College Football Playoff Committee are subject to antitrust laws.

“My Office is launching an investigation to examine if the Committee was involved in any anticompetitive conduct. As it stands, the Committee’s decision reeks of partiality, so we are demanding answers—not only for FSU, but for all schools, teams and fans of college football. In Florida, merit matters. If it’s attention they were looking for, the Committee certainly has our attention now."

Gumps don't belong. Not a FSU fan all all, right is right, gumps do not belong over an undefeated power 5 conference champion. This is why the gumps are unilaterally hated.

So dumb.

I’m fine with it

I'll allow it. Get those committee texts, emails, and any recordings. Should all be made public.

100%. It’s a tough call as to who I can’t stand more. On the one hand, you’ve got politicians feigning outrage. On the other hand, you’ve got school admin who are bought and paid for. Let it all burn.

DoubleDown•5 months

Maybe they can also look into the 100+million FSU raised recently to fund the buyout from the ACC prior to their snubbing?! It’s almost as if FSU knew the ACC isn’t that good and was looking to move conferences. UH OH, Don’t wanna air that dirty laundry now do we, FSU?!

Waste of time. They can do what they hell they want.

What a bunch of fricking cry babies.

s2•5 months

what are you crying about? did she hurt your feels? are you aligning yourself with these "committees and conference elitists"? follow the money and watch the maggots that squirm and eat.

CanebreakCajun•5 months

Uhhh, yeah. I guess she missed the part in the CFP where charter where the committee can look at player availability.

tigerbutt•5 months

Committee shouldn’t exist. W and L determine every level of football including the NFL except for college.

awestruck•5 months

ACC should join in and ask questions their lost money.

atltiger6487•5 months

politicians chasing votes. Per usual.

FSU lost their best player and it makes them a different team. Nothing wrong with the committee considering that.

Wonder if would you feel the same had LSU gone unbeaten on the back of Daniel's, then in the last minute of the game, Daniel's goes down with a season-ending injury. There LSU would sit. A decidedly different team than the one that went unbeaten. You telling me there would be nothing wrong with the committee's decision to give the spot to a one loss ACC champion? I sure wouldn't.

If FSU got shafted (they were) by design instead of by chance, then there are financial and reputational legitimacy issues at stake.

@hubbabubba The committee had time to see just how bad the fsu offense was without travis. your comparison scenario is apple to oranges. Make the same comparison, have lsu look anemic on offense for 2 games, AND have nuss go out with a concussion. the results would and should be the same.

ATLtigeaux•5 months

@cheeto225 and you went with bama’s stellar offense? Same one that needed 2 miracles against a terrible auburn team, barely squeaked by usf and arky? Lost by double digits at home? If it’s only about offense then put in LSU with 3 losses or Oregon with 2 losses. It’s about the entire season team performance. FSU is the better team

Rational people are usually not state employees.

Gov employees = parasites, leeches, make work, commies...did I leave any out...haha?

FSU has had no less than 3 invitations to join the sec. They pussied out each time. frick them.

Florida has enough problems this should be the least of their worries

cheeto225•5 months

what problems are those?

31TIGERS•5 months

What are those problems you speak of? Try not to make anything up.

JakeFromStateFarm•5 months

Maybe it’s just me, but “Let’s get the government involved in this” is almost always the wrong solution to the problem.

Don't mess with a Moody woman.

Morpheus•5 months

I’m fine with it. The board suggested they knew the future. That’s not how it should work as a 13-0 undefeated conference champ of a P5.

cheeto225•5 months

They're charged with putting the 4 BEST teams into the playoff. They got it right.

BabyTac•5 months

Politicians getting free tickets to ‘investigate’. Your tax dollars at work.

Timeoday•5 months

I remember a 1-loss FSU won a Natty back in the 90's. They were pick for the game over an undefeated W. Virginia.

Now, I pray Georgia beats them like a drum.
