On Tuesday, a prominent quarterback in the conference said that he will not be attending the tournament.
“I was honored to be invited by the conference to represent Florida State at this year’s ACC Kickoff,” wrote Uiagalelei. “The experience of attending that event in 2021 and 2022 is among the highlights of my time in college, and I appreciate being viewed as one of the conference’s top players heading into the season.
“However, I feel strongly that Florida State should be represented by players who were part of last year’s ACC Championship team. The players who helped put this program back on top of the ACC should have the opportunity to be recognized for their contributions. This team is more than its quarterback, and I’m excited for my teammates who will experience this fantastic event.”
It’s not hard to notice his comment about FSU being “more than its quarterback” as a direct shot at the CFP Committee. The committee seemingly based their decision to leave the Seminoles out of the playoffs on Jordan Travis’s season-ending injury in November.
Regardless of how you feel about Uiagalelei’s decision not to attend the ACC Kickoff, you have to respect him for sticking up for the players from last year’s roster. They rightfully deserve a chance to represent the conference, which they didn’t get to do in last year’s College Football Playoff
