Georgia state senator Colton Moore has written an open letter demanding the College Football Playoff selection committee adopt the Orange Bowl between Florida State and Georgia as an additional playoff game.
Attorney general Ashley Moody and other Florida politicians have made similar demands.

However, unlike Florida State, Georgia did not go undefeated in 2023 and lost to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, resulting in the Crimson Tide vaulting past both teams into the No. 4 ranking. It’s a perceived injustice that Moore is apparently fighting back on.
“Your mandate is to send the four best teams in the country to the Playoff, and instead you have created a political mess with a decision based in bias to weaker conferences and teams who want nothing to do playing the Georgia Bulldogs,” Moore said, in part, in his letter.
Moore did not provide a plan or mechanism for incorporating two more teams and an additional bowl game into the playoff in his letter. Instead, he mostly laid out a case that Georgia is one of the four best teams and why the Bulldogs shouldn’t have been excluded.
