With the regular season and championship week behind us, the playoff committee made the controversial decision to leave undefeated Florida State out of the playoffs in favor of Texas and Alabama - but who is to blame
If there was ever a thing to make FSU jump ship from ACC to SEC it would be this. Almost like not being let in is there ‘The Drive and The Fumble’ and them leaving is like the Browns leaving a few years later.
Okay Matt, I am a law student who just gave a closing argument at a mock trial for the first time, and I gotta tell you... your defense argument SLAPPED.
@@Marquishimo Matt never says that FSU said that. He said Bobby Bowden did. "“I felt that it was too difficult to win through the SEC to win a national championship,” Bowden said. “I felt like our best route would be to go through the ACC and that did prove out to be correct. But, I don’t know if we could have made it through the SEC.” And he reconfirmed this on his own FB page in 2014.
@@_CoachW It's pretty clear that at that point in time Bobby "was" fsu athletics. If he had wanted it would have happened. When he actually said that is irrelevant.
@@Wxman9123it's not that. It's that we lost to Kansas at home 3 years ago. And breece hall made the 5 star culture meme. CFP a year after Bijan left was not on our bingo card.
Texas being in isn't what is making everyone mad - since they had a clear victory over Bama. But I guess someone in the committee wanted a shot of a do over of that game....
Texas actually makes sense though. No bad losses, a win over the SEC champion on the road, lots of solid play. Alabama has looked extremely suspect in several games.
The only thing I would have added was a TCU guy. And the prosecution showing how the "not as good" college laid a big fat egg when they were given a chance last year
Came here to say this! Especially the ending. Follow the money, kids, if you can handle the truth! P.S. As a Pac-12 fan (for another few weeks) I’m glad Washington won. Because we’ve been on the short end of the stick 2-3 times. Like when a team loses their conference title game and still gets in 😂. But like I said, follow the money. That’s why it’s now the PAC-2 😢
@@The757packerfan First, let us be honest, Georgia or Florida DO NOT want to face in their conference. Second, Comparing TCU and FSU is like comparing oranges to pumpkins. Same color, not remotely the same type. Finally, your persecution of TCU being "not good enough" rings hollow since they put a +50 burger on blue-blood Michigan, with Harbaugh.
Great job, Matt. That was brilliant! The judge singing "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" at the end was perfect. The next line - "'Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands". The "judge" being ESPN. Some English major somewhere is going to write a whole thesis on this!
Most out of context line of his ever made. Not to mention the one time Bowden was blatantly wrong and biased. The acc was just as strong if not stronger in the 80's and 90's than the sec. Not to mention nothing ever changed with FSU scheduling the best teams ooc and sec teams as well. Even now the acc still has the 2nd most titles in the past 40 yrs. That's the power of media being in bed with conferences and spinning the narrative
The subtle things Matt does…like having Georgia sit far lower on the witness stance than the rest…you have to watch each video multiple times to see all his Easter eggs…brilliant.
@@JeffreyLagardethat's what made it perfect. They are ALL guilty. They either wanted the money, or they wanted the easy path. And the Pac 12 didn't fix the system by choking like they always do. 4 spots. 5 power 5 conferences. It was going to end in tears at some point.
I would just like to say to this comment that there is some discussion about whether Oklahoma really is considered the South and that the woman singing this song was born and raised in Oklahoma and that should answer this question
@@jxchambDisney is on their way to owning everything 😂. At least Marvel Studios can now do X-Men stuff though since Disney owns both Marvel Studios and 21st Century FOX. Or, at least I hope they can.
Thanks Matt. I know you’re an SEC guy, but the fact that you’re willing to say the quiet part out loud when it comes to my team in a light hearted way even though the outcome was devastating made me smile.
Simply OUTSTANDING!!! This is the best overall analysis of the situation in under 5 mins. Masterful performance! The sky is the limit for Matt Mitchell!!!
I have to say I had not heard that info about FSU, the banks, and the ACC exit fee. But I do remember hearing why Fla St went to ACC - easier conference. And everyone knew it too.
Okay... flawless. Jawjuh refusing to say their win-loss record, the $120M fsu receipt (which NO ONE except you has mentioned), Texas' reaction, Florida eating popcorn, the Disney slam and the judge's song at the end... you literally read everyone's mail in five minutes. Very well done, sir. #RollTideToThat
That was hands down the best SEC Roll Call. I don't even care about basketball, and only slightly more about baseball, but you need to cover those just so we can get more of these.
I will agree this is the best one yet. Also remind the ACC we could have had playoffs this year but their commissioner said we need another year. Looks like they are getting that year. Excellent work Matt 😂
That was literally an episode of law and order. Holy smokes. I thought the first half of the trial was good enough, but then BOOM the second half of the trial had me pulling for the home team in a wa I didn't think I was capable. What an emotional roller coaster.
tough break, losing your last miracle chance. its going to be hilarious to watch fsu manage to squeeze into a 12 team playoff and get knocked off first or second round every single time. they'll become a placeholder team.
Peak Roll Call. I’ve watched it a few times now and in my mind, I’m picturing Matt playing each role live and just running to each spot, changing clothes, delivering his lines, and then editing out the transitions. Haha. That’s some skill on video, writing, editing, and acting. I even laughed when he said, “For the record, Roll Tide,” and I’m a Georgia fan. Haha. 😢
Tie between GA telling FSU they were playing in the Toilet Bowl and who runs this Mickey Mouse organization---great job, Matt and thx for an interesting year of SEC roll call
Most accurate Roll Call ever. As a Dawgs fan, I was really upset not only at Bama refs but also FSU being left out. Adding portal, NIL, carousel and CFP, college football has become a joke. May want to start watching wrestling where at least there is no pretend legitimacy
Probably the best SEC Roll Call ever and not just for this season. I’m now going to get some paper towels because when you busted out a little Reba at the end I may or may not have spit my coffee every where.
As a Nebraskan, I appreciate this insightful and witty analysis of the politics of football that has been eclipsed in local sports news by coverage of sports where we win.
@@AndreNDPI'll need more than half a bottle to toast all our victories... and I'll need something better than the first choice of children with fake IDs.
As a two-time Florida State graduate with both a bachelor's and master's degree, this is the funniest thing you've ever done.. and I appreciate you shout out at the end for Vicki Lawrence and Reba McEntire respectively
Yep! Here I am again a 70 yo granny who doesn’t watch college football and whose husband only watches OSU. So much of the references are over my head but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter at all because I did know that FSU wasn’t in the playoffs even though they were undefeated. So I was anxious to see what Matt would have to say. Never disappointed. Matt you are genius at comedy.
Remember in 1993, 1-loss Florida St. Took the place of an Undefeated W. VA in the national championship game when they went undefeated... SWEET JUSTICE.
Bobby Bowden did a lot of showboat crying on TV to pull that one off.... FYI, go Caines.... Thug Life. (Yeah, we've sucked for decades now..... But one day we will be back on top. Just not anytime soon 😢).
As a Hokie I can't believe I forgot that, hating both programs as we have for a looong time. Makes me feel better about what UGA will do to them on New Year's. And since my adopted team won't be in the natty game, I can cancel my disney+/epsn/hulu that much sooner!
@@ATLKing404 And you'll see a repeat when UGA destroys Fl. St, and Alabama wins the whole thing... I thought all they were arguing was they didn't even get a chance....
Very funny! As an added joke, you could have had the Michigan scout court reporter outraged that he just learned FSU's signs and now has to go learn Bama's instead! 😆
Matt, these SEC roll calls should become a 2 or 3 day a week thing during football season. No one else has anything like it and these are absolutely the best! I can imagine some TV sports networks being interested in these as they are so well thought out from you as well. There is every bit as much truth in these as comedy. Excellent job!
I've been a Florida State fan as long as I can remember and at the age of 66 I thought I had seen it all but this beats all. They were ranked fourth not fifth.... It sucks cause it all about the money playoff committee. Nice job playing this out Matt. Thanks for sharing
So FSU's money to leave the conference is ok then? As an ACC school alum, it makes it a lot harder to back them wrong though the choices were. So I get to watch two schools that got screwed play each other now. We'll see how well they do.
@@jawjagrrl When you look at the money the SEC and Big10 will make in coming years versus the money that the ACC and Big12 will make, yes, every team that wants to compete in college football at the highest level should be doing whatever they can do get into one of those two conferences. Staying in the ACC long term is not sustainable when the money will be dwarfed by the new Power 2. In 5 years, the only two conferences that will really matter in football are the SEC and the Big10 - I would argue that we are already seeing that.
@@jawjagrrlIt's ok, next year is the 12 team playoff. You'll get your cupcakes and get to eat them too, until the end of the year you bite off a little more than you can chew. Good luck vs Georgia. You'll need it.
Money isn't the reason FL State didn't make it, it's because after watching Texas/Oklahoma State and Alabama/Georgia game, they watched the ACC game and it was just plain pitiful. I felt bad for both teams, It was 100% clear that was a completely different caliber team playing. You know it and everyone else knows it. The number 1 criteria was to get the best 4 teams in and Florida State isn't one right now in their current state.
Bowden: “They did want us, they did invite us to join the SEC. Everybody thought we would join. In fact, I thought we would but our administration - the president and others - wanted the ACC, which really was better for us. It would have been hard wading through that SEC. Too many good teams in there, boy. Oh, gosh. Oh, that would have been some great ball.”
This was absolute gold! Matt, you are HILARIOUS and act each part to perfection. So much work! Thank you for taking the time to put it all together! Roll Tide. 😅
The BEST (funniest) comedy, is comedy that is true! This was spot on, the BEST comedy of this whole situation bc it was all true! You couldnt have done any better with this. My favorite part was the Gator fan...judge tells him to be quit or he will hold him in contempt, and he replies, "Thats ok, I got no where to be." 😂
@andrewbrown9672 wow, I can tell you didn't. Any good southerner would recognize a compliment and be grateful. Actually any decent American or human being would. You must have failed at life to have to be that crappy. Best of luck andrewbrown9672. You are going to need it.
Omg this was epic. Wonder what those at ESPN would think at Matt somewhat throwing them under the bus in this. 🤷🏼♀️ can’t decide which video I laughed at more, Matt’s or SEC shorts in regard to the FSU snubbing.
ESPN can actually wash their hands of it because they have no control over the committee, they just have exclusive rights of being the first to present their rankings.
Inconsistencies? LMFAO. It's not the CFP Committee's fault that FSU plays in a weak ass conference and thus has a weak ass schedule. As SEC Matt pointed out, FSU could have joined the SEC in the early 90s but didn't because "the SEC is too tough." It's quite fitting that a little over 30 years later that those very words ends up biting FSU in the ass. Got to love Karma and her wicked sense of humor.
As an Alabama fan, we don’t compare. It’s disrespectful. We acknowledge the importance and efforts of every team. SEC Shorts puts a lot of time and effort in their work. You try putting up a video within 24-48 hours. It’s not easy.
I would have expected more upset from Georgia. Undefeated the whole season, then they lose one game to Alabama and they are out of the playoffs? Nothing against Alabama, but I don't get it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can only imagine how much work goes into these videos. Your talent, creativity, and attention to detail are highly evident each week. But I do wish we could get them in the office season. Thanks for another season of sharing your gifts with us, Matt. I hope you and your family have a blessed holiday. I look forward to 2024.
MM, I love your videos. I'm glad I found your collection of postings. Your ability to portray each SEC university so well is amazing. Keep up the outstanding work. I'm looking forward to the video where Texas (luxury RV bus and several eighteen wheelers) and OU (a broken down pick-up with the bed overloaded with furniture, appliances, etc.) drive up to SEC headquarters, July 1 2024. Horns always Up!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This was absolutely your best work yet. I could not stop laughing at Texas' shock and surprise at the existence of playoff spots and the judge counting his money at the end. Thought I was gonna fall out of my chair.
