Dear Florida politicos, The College Football Playoff committee was right. Best, Retiring Guy

The possibility of something untoward, however, was the specious argument amplified by DeSantis and Scott in particular in the immediate wake of Florida State’s being left out. DeSantis huffed that he was going to free up $1 million from the state budget to sue the College Football Playoff committee. Scott fired off angry missives to CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock that echoed the script of presidential election deniers. “Those who feel snubbed or mistreated should not be denied the opportunity to get an explanation for the decisions that created that perception,” Scott wrote to Hancock. Scott claimed it wasn’t just Florida State fans who felt that way but “Americans across the country who doubt the integrity of the playoff system.” (Whatever happened to Republicans being able to lose graciously?)
