Jon Sumrall had just five words to describe his belief in spots earned for the college football playoffs: “We beat the ACC Champion.”
If there’s one thing Florida fans will get to know about Sumrall, it’s that he does not back down from his beliefs. When asked by the media about the push-back by some about two G5 schools making it into this year’s college football playoff, he did not back down from his firm belief in G5 schools being deserving of at least one spot. Many critics were upset that both Tulane and James Madison made it into the top 12 and had a spot in the playoffs this year, but if you ask Sumrall, he believes they earned their spot.
