Deion Sanders isn’t among the ex-Florida State players who are angered by the College Football Playoff selection committee’s decision to leave the Seminoles out of the top four despite an unbeaten record this season. 

Outrage is just one of the words to describe Florida State fans after their perfect 13-0 record and ACC Championship title wasn’t good enough in the selection committee’s eyes to hold a spot in the top four. The teams that did — No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Washington, No. 3 Texas and No. 4 Alabama — will all have a chance to compete for the national title. 

Meanwhile, No. 5 Florida State will take on No. 6 Georgia, who lost to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game for its first loss of the year, in the Orange Bowl as part of the annual New Year’s Six games.

Sanders, who became a star with the Seminoles under Bobby Bowden, made his case on the "Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz" on why he isn’t surprised by the committee’s decision. 

"Well, I can’t be upset. We’re recruiting against those guys. You gotta understand that. This is business now," Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, said.
