Jets’ Jermaine Johnson blasts CFP for snubbing Florida State: ‘F’d up’
Florida States exclusion from the College Football Playoff left alumnus Jermaine Johnson questioning everything he knows about the nature of competition.
The Jets defensive end sounded off Monday, one day after the Seminoles (13-0) became the first-ever undefeated Power Five conference champion to be left out of the four-team tournament, making room for one-loss Texas and one-loss Alabama to join unbeatens Michigan and Washington. In Johnsons eyes, the selection committee sent an Effed up message.
I think its bad for the sport to not put those guys in the playoff, and Im not just speaking as a salty alum, Johnson said. Since were kids, were taught to win. Thats why you prepare week-in, week-out to win. Thats the most important thing. When you tell a group of young men that, All you did is win, you didnt lose and you still dont get rewarded, what do you say after that? What else is there to chase?
Johnson was a first-round draft pick out of Florida State in 2022 and remains close with many of the programs players and coaches who were left stunned.
Jets pass rusher Jermaine Johnson isn’t happy with Florida State being left out of the College Football Playoff. Bill Kostroun for the NY PostIt almost attacks the epitome and what in essence is football: If winning doesnt get rewarded, perfection doesnt get rewarded, Im not quite sure what is then, Johnson said. Its not good for the sport to punish a group of kids that did nothing but win, and to punish a program that did nothing but fight all that adversity and win.
To turn around and be like, We know you guys won, but in our perspective, you are not one of the four best teams, I mean, what makes someone the best is not losing, right? Thats essentially what makes someone the best. So, I think thats wrong to punish a group of kids, to punish a program, to punish a whole state, a conference, families, everything. Theres a lot on the line, and those guys fight long and hard to get rewarded.

I think thats messed up, Johnson said. I think they were hoping for Florida State to deal with it themselves and lose so that they didnt have to make that decision. Its not good for the sport. Its not good for the players. … Its just not right. Its effed up, to be honest.
TE C.J. Uzomah (MCL) and DL Perrion Winfrey (left foot) suffered Sunday what are likely season-ending injuries. Coach Robert Saleh said both are headed to injured reserve, which requires a minimum four-game absence and only five games remain.
The availability of WR Jason Brownlee (ankle) will be determined over the course of the week, Saleh said.
