The SMU Mustangs secured a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff on Sunday, landing as the No. 11 seed in the postseason tournament. Former Florida State defensive back Greedy Vance says they should thank the Seminoles.


Another 13 wins last year F.S.U team was left out of the playoff due to an injury to quarterback Jordan Travis. Alabama swooped in to steal its final postseason bid by skipping the ‘Noles.


It seemed the Crimson flood would be another bid stealer in the 2024 edition of the College Football Playoff after going 9-3 in the regular season. Chaos in the ACC Championship Game prevented this reality from happening!


SMU played Clemson in the title game and ultimately lost 34-31 on a last-second field goal. With the win, the Tigers earned an automatic bid. That left the committee to decide between the Mustangs and Alabama.

On paper, the Crimson Tide had a case due to a tight schedule. They could boast a win over SEC champion Georgia. They had also defeated three Top 25 foes to SMU’s nil.


However, the Mustangs had 11 wins, compared to nine in Alabama. Both of their defeats were by three points. The College Football Playoff committee ultimately chose not to punish SMU for playing in a conference title game while the Tide watched championship weekend from home. It was a stark contrast to last season!


Greedy Vance played on that rejected Florida State team. Going undefeated and winning the ACC carried no weight due to circumstances beyond their control. The committee received immediate response to the decision.


They chose not to double down this time! Alabama may have had the better resume, but the committee chose who they thought was the most deserving. They looked at profits and losses instead of the brand name. Vance wanted a thank you from SMU.



The only reason it happened this way is because we didn’t get in last year.

Vance believes the committee has changed her thinking. It didn’t want to deal with another offseason full of “SEC Bias” stories. They chose the less controversial way out. Florida State was the sacrificial lamb for the ACC. SMU is reaping the benefits, at least in Vance’s eyes!
