On Sunday, the College Football Playoffs were officially set, as the the four teams selected were announced.
And one team was left off the list, which has stirred up a lot of controversy.
Michigan was awarded the top spot, followed by Washington and Texas. That left one final spot and many wondered whether it would go to Alabama or Florida State. In the end, it was Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide who were awarded that spot.
That left Florida State on the outside.
And former New England Patriots running back James White did not hold back when voicing his opinion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"The committee played FSU," White wrote.
He followed it up with a post that said, "SEC bias strikes again!"
Alabama's win over top-seeded Georgia in the SEC Championship made the committees job much harder. And despite Florida State's impressive season, they missed the cut.
Florida State earned the win against Louisville in the ACC Title game, finishing the season with an undefeated record. And this came after they lost starting quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Travis to a season-ending leg injury. Backup quarterback Tate Rodemaker was also sidelined with a concussion.
The Seminoles were then forced to turn to their third-string quarterback Brock Glenn.
They have been able to do so much this season despite all the adversity they faced, but it wasn't enough to push them into the four-team playoffs.
