College Football Stars Ask Trump to Override Playoff Decisions: “Make an Executive Order!”

The drama surrounding the final College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings has heated up once again. This year's Playoff Committee decision has drawn widespread criticism from fans, players, and analysts alike. Even Heisman Trophy frontrunner Diego Pavia publicly called on former President Donald Trump to intervene.

Vanderbilt Eliminated Despite Only Two Losses

The Vanderbilt Commodores are on the outside of the final standings due to their calendar being closed. Ironically, they've only lost two games all season , both to two conference giants:

• Alabama Crimson Tide

• Texas Longhorns

Both were conference games, which ultimately resulted in Vanderbilt failing to advance to the SEC Championship .

Diego Pavia Asks Trump to Issue Executive Order

Players' frustration became even more apparent when Diego Pavia wrote on Twitter, urging Trump to issue an executive order requiring the CFP to expand its membership.

“@realDonaldTrump PLEASE MAKE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER,” Pavia wrote.

Pavia replied to a post pushing for the Playoffs to be expanded from 12 teams to 16 , with the following format:

• 4 tim SEC

• 4 tim Big Ten

• 2 tim ACC

• 2 tim Big 12

• 4 tim at-large

The post also took a dig at the CFP Committee:

“Get rid of these stupid committees full of justifications that no one understands.”

Rubio Jokes About Trump Taking Over the CFP Committee 

The “Trump takeover” issue even became a joke when Senator Marco Rubio appeared on CNN, saying sarcastically that perhaps it was time for Trump to take over the committee’s decisions, which were deemed inconsistent.

Miami Becomes the Biggest Victim

Currently, the team with the most to lose is the Miami Hurricanes , who can only watch from the sidelines despite having a head-to-head advantage over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish .

Weekend Match Could Change Everything

Several conference championship games Saturday have the potential to shuffle the rankings:

• The BYU Cougars could lose their spot after potentially losing to the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the Big 12 Final.

• There's a scenario where the Alabama Crimson Tide could remain at the top despite three losses if they fail to beat the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Final.

All of this is expected to spark even more heated debate among fans and analysts.

This Week's Final Announcement

The final playoff rankings will be released Sunday , after all conference championship games have concluded. Regardless of the outcome, it's clear that this season's controversy is already shaping up to be one of the most controversial in CFP history.
