FSU QB Tate Rodemaker game-day decision for ACC title game​


Florida State could be without another quarterback as it gets set to take on Louisville on Saturday with an ACC championship and a possible berth in the College Football Playoff on the line. Quarterback Tate Rodemaker, who started the team's final regular-season game -- a 24-15 win over Florida -- will be a game-day decision because of a head injury, according to the school. Rodemaker left the Florida game in the fourth quarter after taking a late hit to the head following a scramble. He returned to action two plays later to help cap a touchdown drive. Rodemaker took over the starting job after starter Jordan Travis injured his left leg against North Alabama on Nov. 18. Travis, who has started since the 2021 season, won ACC Player of the Year honors after helping the Seminoles lock up a spot in the conference championship game.

Undefeated Florida State left out of College Football Playoff​


While four teams are celebrating the opportunity to play for a national title on the field, undefeated ACC champion Florida State is on the outside, with coach Mike Norvell saying he's "disgusted and infuriated" with the Seminoles becoming the first unbeaten Power 5 conference winner to ever miss out on the College Football Playoff.

While Michigan (13-0, Big Ten champion), Washington (13-0, Pac-12 champion), Texas (12-1, Big 12 champion) and Alabama (12-1, SEC champion) were the top four teams who made it into the playoff, the Seminoles (13-0) were judged by an untimely run of injuries at the quarterback position.

Michigan, Washington, Texas, Florida State top 4 teams in AP poll​


Michigan is No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll for the first time since it won its last national championship in 1997, while Georgia slipped to No. 6 on Sunday after its 29-game winning streak was snapped by Alabama. Michigan received 51 first-place votes. No. 2 Washington had 11 first-place votes, and the Huskies were followed by Texas at No. 3 and Florida State Fat No. 4. All four are conference champions, and all but the Longhorns are unbeaten. Alabama moved up three spots to No. 5 after beating Georgia 27-24 in the SEC title game Saturday. The Bulldogs had their string of 24 straight weeks at No. 1 snapped. It was the second-longest run in AP poll history behind USC's 33 straight from 2003 to 2005. Ohio State was seventh, with Oregon, Missouri and Penn State rounding out the top 10.

FSU (13-0) to play Georgia (12-1) in Orange Bowl​


Florida State, the first unbeaten Power 5 conference winner to ever miss out on the College Football Playoff, will settle for a matchup with two-time defending champion Georgia in the Capital One Orange Bowl on Dec. 30. Coach Mike Norvell said the No. 5 Seminoles, who finished 13-0 and won the ACC championship, will be ready for the matchup in Miami Gardens (4 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App). The Seminoles' 19 consecutive wins is the second-longest active streak in FBS. No. 6 Georgia had won 29 straight games prior to Saturday's loss to Alabama in the SEC title game. As a result, the Bulldogs become the first No. 1 team in the penultimate CFP rankings to fall out of the top four after losing during Championship Week.

Athletes sue NCAA, Power 5 for not getting paid​

Duke football player Dewayne Carter, Stanford soccer player Nya Harrison and TCU basketball player Sedona Prince filed their 70-page complaint in the Northern District of California federal court, the same venue where the NCAA has lost a series of antitrust claims in the past decade. Their attorneys requested an injunction that would prevent the NCAA from enforcing rules that prohibit "pay for play" compensation for athletes and seeks damages for past payments the athletes would have received if the current rules were not in place.

The three athletes are represented by Jeffrey Kessler and Steve Berman, who successfully sued the NCAA to remove any restrictions on academic-related payments in the Alston case that was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2021. They also recently were granted class status for a different antitrust case (House v. NCAA) that is seeking billions of dollars that they claim the NCAA cost former athletes because of old rules that restricted athletes from making money through endorsement deals.

Duke hires Penn State's Manny Diaz as new head coach​

Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz has been hired as Duke's next head football coach, it was announced Thursday night. Diaz is coming off a season in which he led the nation's top statistical defense, as the Nittany Lions held opponents to 223.2 yards per game -- the best single-season defensive performance in the sport since Alabama in 2011. He also brings head-coaching experience in the ACC, as he led Miami to three bowl-eligible seasons during his time there from 2019 to 2021. Diaz, whose 2020 Miami teami was ranked as high as No. 7 in the country, was fired after three seasons with a 21-15 record. Miami is 12-12 since his departure. He will take over a Duke program that got an energy jolt during Mike Elko's two seasons as coach. Elko went 9-4 in 2022 and led the Blue Devils to the school's highest national ranking, No. 16, this year. He left last month for the head-coaching job at Texas A&M.
