Why Deion Sanders sides against Florida State after College Football Playoff snub
Deion Sanders is not shedding tears over his former school, Florida State, getting snubbed from the College Football Playoff.
Sunday, the committee left undefeated Florida State out of the CFP, after the Seminoles lost their starting quarterback Jordan Travis, in favor of one-loss Alabama.
Sanders, who was a star player on Bobby Bowden’s Florida State squad in the late 1980s and is now the head coach at Colorado, appeared on the “Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” and was asked about how mad he was about the situation.
“Well, I can’t be upset. We’re recruiting against those guys. You gotta understand that. This is business now,” Sanders said.
“A lot of people don’t look at it as business. I look at it as, this is entertainment but this is business. So there’s no way you’re gonna leave Coach Nick Saban and Alabama out of a playoff.”
Sanders stars in Aflac commercials with Saban and the two are known to be friendly.

“Who should be really upset, not only Florida State but Georgia head coach Kirby Smart. He’s been No. 1 for the last two or three years, and they’re out?” Sanders asked.
“This is unbelievable. I want those problems! Give me those problems!”
As for Florida State, there might be some more to Sanders’ opinion than meets the eye.

Sanders, at the time, had not yet become head coach at Jackson State.
This past August, when a reporter identified Sanders as a Seminole, Sanders interrupted.
No, no, no, he said. Do you know where I graduated from? … I graduated from an HBCU. I thought it was from where you graduated from, isnt it? Why do you keep calling me that if it wasnt where I graduated from? Im an HBCU grad.
Sanders holds a college degree from Talladega College in Alabama.
