The College Football Playoff Committee’s second-to-last rankings have ignited backlash across the sport, and one Heisman Trophy contender is now calling for presidential intervention.
According to Fox News, Vanderbilt finds itself on the outside of the playoff picture with no games left to strengthen its résumé.
The Commodores have just two losses — to Alabama and Texas — both inside the conference, a fact that prevented them from reaching the SEC title game.
Frustration boiled over for quarterback Diego Pavia, who took to social media and appealed directly to President Donald Trump as the final playoff bracket approaches.
“@realDonaldTrump MAKE THE EXECUTIVE ORDER PLEASE,” Pavia wrote on X.
His message came in response to a post advocating for a 16-team playoff instead of the current 12-team format. The proposal suggested four SEC teams, four Big Ten teams, two ACC teams, two Big 12 teams, and four at-large selections.
“Get rid of these stupid committees filled with justifications nobody seems to understand,” the post added.
