Florida State and Michigan will face off in what is probably the most anticipated bowl match-up of 2016 outside of the College Football Playoff. However, the focus of at least part of Florida State defensive back Marquez White's media availability on Tuesday was on the playoff instead of his team's pending contest.

White put forth a controversial opinion in stating that the Wolverines, and not the Ohio State Buckeyes, should be in the College Football Playoff.

White's opinion comes directly from the fact that he believes Michigan was "cheated" by the officiating on the ultra-controversial fourth-down spot that eventually set the stage for the OSU victory.

White certainly is not the only person who feels this way and, for the majority of the game in Columbus, Michigan looked to be the better team. Of course, none of that matters in that the Buckeyes will play for the title beginning on New Year's Eve and Florida State will have its hands full with a motivated Michigan team that likely feels shunned by the process.
With that in mind, White did set another goal for his own team and it was an amusing one.

It is safe to assume that Jim Harbaugh could produce a sideline blow-up (or two) if things don't go Michigan's way in the Orange Bowl and Florida State could have a lot to do with that.
