It looks like Sports Illustrated has thrown some major shade toward Florida State and Jameis Winston. As you can see, Sports Illustrated released its regional covers for the four college football playoff teams. Each team's quarterback is featured on the cover, along with the title "The case for [team's quarterback] and the team itself.
There are four @sinow covers this week -- one for each team in the College Football playoffs: http://t.co/9xaInRncGs

But excluded on the cover is Jameis Winston's name. With Winston just going through a Florida State code of conduct hearing, that could be the cause for omitting his name, but it is a bit strange because he was cleared in the hearing.
Anyways, here are some fans' reactions to the cover:
@SInow hmm, didn't know Jameis Winston's name was "Florida State". pic.twitter.com/PPUqrt99XZ

It's hilarious that SI puts tOSU's 3rd string QB's name on the regional cover & didn't put Jameis Winston's. You can't tell there's no hate

SI is living in the Stone Age. It's like they think people are stupid and wouldn't notice.

I wonder why @SInow left Jameis Winston's name off the cover but gave every other QB on the Covers their due respect. Yall are corny for tht

pretty shitty @SInow won't put Jameis Winston's name on the cover of their magazine but they'll put 3 other QB's names.

Sports Illustrated treating Jameis Winston like Lord Voldemort

So, every QB's name is listed in bold on the SI cover except for Jameis Winston. Kind of weird.
