Coach K Joins Chorus of Disapproval: Mike Krzyzewski ain’t thrilled that Florida State got snubbed for the College Football Playoff.
The college football scene was on the edge of rebellion this past Sunday when the undefeated 13-0 Seminoles got passed over for the 12-1 Alabama.
Despite their perfect record and conquering a P5 conference, the injury to QB Jordan Travis seemed to render the Seminoles’ entire season meaningless.
It’s a decision that many find indefensible. Since the announcement, more and more voices have joined the chorus of dissatisfaction. Now, Coach K has added his voice to the protest.
“The committee got it wrong. What they did to Florida State was wrong. I cant believe the coaches in that room let this happen,” exclaimed the legendary former Duke coach, sharing his disapproval of FSU being left out of the CFP field.
If you were on social media last Sunday, you’d know many people agree with Coach K.

It’s just mind-boggling that a team can go 13-0, triumph over the SEC in two non-conference games, secure a P5 conference victory, and still get left out in favor of 12-1 Alabama.
Sure, Jordan Travis being sidelined affects the team, but the Seminoles won every single game they played this year. I recall a few years back when Florida State clinched a national title with a third-string QB.
Coach K, in my humble opinion, is spot on when he expresses disbelief that anyone with coaching experience on the committee let this snub happen. What’s the point of the regular season if going undefeated doesn’t count?
We’re still weeks away from the CFP kickoff, and without a doubt, more people will express their frustration with the 13-0 FSU getting sidelined. Coach K, a man with six rings, adds significant weight to the list of those backing FSU. Unfortunately for the Seminoles, he doesn’t possess a magic wand to undo the committee’s decision. Everyone is stuck having to swallow a bitter pill.
