Terrion Arnold comments on Florida State missing out on CFP with Paul Finebaum
Published:
Terrion Arnold appeared on The Paul Finebaum Show on Monday and commented on Florida State being left out of the College Football Playoff.
Arnold is a native of Tallahassee and grew up a huge Seminole fan. Finebaum asked the star defensive back for his thoughts on the CFP rankings.
“I feel like it’s just one of those things where even me talking to Jordan Travis, I just got done talking to Keon Coleman … It makes it something that you want to go out there and play for,” Arnold said on the show. “Even them not being able to get in, I’m going to go out there and play for my guys, play for Bama nation but even play for them, too–being from Tallahassee.”
The Noles had a perfect 13-0 record but were left out of the top 4 after Arnold’s Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Georgia Bulldogs.
“Ultimately like, I would’ve just been looking like… the [Jordan Travis] injury that happened, we wouldn’t be having this same conversation if it didn’t take place,” Arnold said.
Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending injury against North Alabama which could have factored in to the committee’s decision.
Arnold’s Tide will take on the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. The winner of that game plays the winner of Washington vs. Texas in the National Championship.
