On Sunday afternoon, the College Football Playoff selection committee made a pretty shocking decision, selecting the Alabama Crimson Tide for the playoff field over the Florida State Seminoles, even though the Seminoles were undefeated and Alabama was not. As a result, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was not happy.
Following the committee’s controversial decision on Sunday afternoon, Ron DeSantis – a noted Florida State fan – took to social media to express his displeasure that the Seminoles were not included in the College Football Playoff this season.
“What we learned today is that you can go undefeated and win your conference championship game, but the College Football Playoff committee will ignore these results. Congratulations to @FSUFootball on an outstanding season and winning the ACC championship!” DeSantis said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
It’s clear that DeSantis was absolutely furious with the decision from the College Football Playoff selection committee, and the college football world had a lot to say about his words on social media.

DeSantis, of course, is currently seeking the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election, but he trails former United States President Donald Trump in the polls by quite a wide margin.
