Unbeaten Florida State was snubbed by the College Football Playoff last season. Norvell echoed the sentiment of other coaches, saying the ACC needs to fight its perception problem. “(We) have to continue to push the actual narrative or what needs to be the realistic narrative of how good this this league is,” he said.

The College Football Playoff snub of unbeaten Florida State is still a fresh wound for the entire Atlantic Coast Conference. “To me, there's a lot of disrespect. I think we have a heck of a conference. I look at the quality of our ACC football that we play, I just don't think it gets the respect it deserves. Period,” Narduzzi said Tuesday, May 14, at the league's spring meetings.
