Florida State two years ago, now Miami two years in a row … something needs to change.
It’s that time of the year again in college football: lobbying season is in full swing, as coaches, athletic directors and die-hard fans frantically pitch their most passionate arguments for why their team absolutely, positively deserves one of those coveted 12 spots in the College Football Playoff.
At times, that lobbying is done by politicians. Yes, the ones from D.C. (RELATED: Most American Sport Of Them All Is No Longer American)
During a cabinet meeting Tuesday with President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio set aside his personal team loyalties and seized his speaking slot to advocate for Miami‘s spot in the playoff.
“I’m a Florida Gator, but if the University of Miami gets screwed out of the College Football Playoffs, after going 10-2 and beating Notre Dame, the whole thing should be scrapped and [Trump] is gonna have to take over next year,” said Rubio.

There’s two reasons why Miami will get screwed out of the College Football Playoff, and you can tell that by the latest rankings: 1. America hates Miami, there’s always been a “they hate us ’cause they ain’t us” energy from media types and fans who are jealous of The U, and 2. The Notre Dame bias is absolutely astounding, the Fighting Irish football team could openly wipe their ass and it would get glorified.
So despite Miami beating Notre Dame, having a tougher schedule, being the better football team, they’ll get screwed out of hate and bias.
