LeRoy Butler<\/strong> says Florida State needs to pack its bags and get the hell out of the ACC … telling TMZ Sports<\/strong> he believes the perceived weakness of the conference is a big reason the College Football Playoff committee gave the Seminoles the boot on Sunday.<\/p>\n “We’re going to have to leave,” said Butler, who starred at FSU from 1987 through 1989. “We’ve got to get out of the ACC. If we want to win a national championship, we’ve got to go.”<\/p>\n FSU — which just completed a 13-0 season on Saturday — was believed by many to be one of the four best teams in the country … but when it came time to pick the four squads who will play for this year’s national championship, the CFP committee gave the nod to a one-loss Alabama team over the Seminoles.<\/p>\n When we spoke with Butler about the snub some 24 hours after it went down … he was furious — saying he believes the committee “robbed” his former team.<\/p>\n Then, he told us FSU’s conference affiliation will need to change in order to prevent these kinds of situations going forward.<\/p>\n “Let’s be honest, they don’t think the ACC is a good conference,” Butler said … before adding, “I bet you I’ve gotten 50 calls from people — ‘Man, ya’ll have got to get out of the ACC.'”<\/p>\n “This is not basketball. Football brings in the money.”<\/p>\n While Butler didn’t say where he’d like his alma mater to end up — it seems pretty clear it’s the SEC.<\/p>\n “The SEC is in everybody’s brain — that a one-loss team is better than a 13-0 team.”<\/p>\n Regardless, Butler still obviously believes his Noles should have gotten into the final four — telling us his new nickname for the CFP is simply, “Certified Fraud Playoffs.”<\/p>\n
