Florida State is, unequivocally, America’s college football program of the moment.
You might demand otherwise because of a personal connection or empirical data, but it’s impossible to find a school that exceeds Florida State’s circumstances.
The Seminoles are simply more American than any of us want to admit.
On Saturday, the Seminoles face Georgia Tech in Dublin to kick off the season in a showpiece for ESPN.
This kind of platforming is ostensibly an honor — and free marketing if nothing else — but Seminoles fans remain convinced ESPN is in cahoots against the well-being of their program.
Last season, an undefeated Florida State team was rejected by the College Football Playoff selection committee, an event ESPN holds exclusive broadcast rights to.
Eight months later, ESPN is sending its flagship program, “College GameDay,” to Ireland in part to fete a Seminoles team the network’s programming and pundits spent months denigrating.
