For over a decade, the Florida State Seminoles football team has landed in the AP poll's top four, consistently racking up wins and cementing an impressive undefeated streak.

Despite the Seminoles' ongoing triumphs, this past weekend saw the entire sports world shaken to its core. To everyone's astonishment, news broke that the Florida State Seminoles would not make it to the College Football Playoffs (CFP).

This decision arrived despite the Seminoles pulling off a 16-6 defeat of the Louisville Cardinals.

So far, the official justification for excluding the Seminoles cites an injury sustained by quarterback Jordan Travis. The Seminoles wound up having another quarterback play in Travis' place. Nevertheless, using this injury as grounds to deny the Seminoles CFP admission is without merit and downright ridiculous.

Travis or not, the team still brought home a win.

This will not stand

Because the Seminoles defeated the Cardinals, yet still got denied admission to CFP with no rational explanation, the selection committee just landed in the eye of a very real storm.

Multiple sources confirm that lawsuits are coming down the pipeline.

This litigation will specifically name the CFP selection committee. As the Seminoles were cheated to such an egregious extent, the lawsuits in question will also push for financial damages and ultimately seek an injunction until this matter is legally settled.

At the end of the day, it simply doesn't make sense for the undefeated Seminoles to lose out on CFP admission while teams they've bested (Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorn) get the red carpet rolled out.

Someone needs to answer for this

The CFP selection committee has responded to backlash by arguing they have discretion and take the availability of all team players into account when deciding upon admissions.

Though to many in the sports world, this claim seems more like a bad cover story to conceal a nefarious agenda.

Did someone intentionally pay to have the Seminoles robbed of their rightful place in the CFP? Did other football teams make backdoor deals or agree to a quid-pro-quo at the Seminoles' expense?

Stay tuned for more updates because at the rate things are heading, the real truth is going to come out in a court of law. Flimsy excuses that fail to directly explain what happened are unacceptable and the world isn't going to stand for them.
