Mike Norvell issues scathing statement after being left out of College Football Playoff

Just after Florida State athletic director Michael Alford issued a strongly worded statement aimed at the College Football Playoff Selection committee, Mike Norvell followed up with some scathing words of his own.

Norvell says he was both "disgusted and infuriated" with the decision of the committee to leave his undefeated squad out of the playoff.

It was an unprecedented decision, as it marked the first time of the playoff era an undefeated conference champion was left out of the field.

In his statement, Norvell brings up some excellent points that should serve as daggers to those that decided to leave the Seminoles out. 

See the full statement below.

You could see the pain and utter disbelief in the room in real time as the field was revealed, with Norvell and the Seminoles on the outside looking in at #5, with Alabama and Texas holding the #3 and #4 spots, respectively.

Seminoles quarterback Jordan Travis, who led the team to wins in their first 11 games before suffering a broken leg, also weighed in.

Florida State played with second-string quarterback in the final week of the regular season before he suffered a concussion and then played a true freshman quarterback in the ACC title game.

Boo Corrigan, the head of the playoff selection committee, noted the change in quarterback as one of the main reasons the Seminoles didn't make the cut.

 "You can lose a running back, you can lose a receiver but when you lose a quarterback as dynamic as Jordan Travis, it changes their offense in its entirety and that was a really big factor," Corrigan shared with ESPN.
