0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three.
0:08.6	We have a college football playoff set.
0:11.7	We have a lot of unhappy people.
0:14.6	We have a lot of unhappy people who don't have a rooting interest for the team that got stiffed. This was more of an existential
0:23.4	thing. Florida State 13 and 0 ACC champion left out. Alabama gets in at number four. You have a
0:31.5	Michigan-Alabama Rose Bowl number one versus number four, Washington, Texas Sugar Bowl, number two
0:36.6	versus number three. It looks like a really fun playoff.

1:27.9	Jeff in the chat with a really good question.
1:30.4	Where does Florida State being left out of the CFP ranking comparison to other BCS CFP snubs?
1:35.2	I would say it's right up there with 2004 Auburn.
1:39.3	I think 2004 Auburn is probably the best comparison here because they did everything they
1:45.8	were supposed to do and they were denied a chance.
1:48.3	And if you remember your history, the reason it went from a two-team BCS to a 14 playoff
