As a die hard FSU fan and alum, this is exactly what we deserve. The way we acted after the snub was embarrassing. Don't get me wrong, college football is broken and I think Kirby Smart articulated it perfectly after the game. I believe in Coach Norvell and what we're doing going forward. Georgia chose to make a statement and they did. I hope we learn from this. I feel so bad for these players. Georgia and Kirby Smart showed why they're Georgia. Much respect to the Dawgs. Go Noles.
As A UGA Alumni, I respect your opinion. The game did get out of hand. I asked a friend, Fraternity brother, roommate in college. He writes for UGA. He said it looked like TCU players dressed as FSU players this year! Yall had a great season!
@@MrsDyer1206He said he felt bad for the guys that played, not the quitters, and I feel terrible for them as well. They showed up and competed till the clock said 00:00 and I tip my hat to them. Kirby is right...something needs to be done. The difference in culture tween the two is deep and apparent to all. We could have laid down but decided to show up n make a statement. I just wish the game was more competitive but a win is a win and teams are going to know we mean business in the post season. Those guys love ea other and the coaches and love to compete and fight together, which is what football is about #DecadeOfTheDawg
@@PastorOfMuppets74it's not a culture thing at FSU. I see both sides. I'm a Longhorn fan and we didn't deserve to be there. The fact that 2 teams who lost jumped an undefeated team is wrong. FSU deserved that 3rd spot. That 4th spot was up for debate but FSU deserved #3. Tell me, why should they play a game that doesn't matter? Tell me, why does Michigan and Washington deserve to be there? They have the same record as FSU. So why was only FSU snubbed? FSU beat LSU, Clemson, Florida, and Louisville who are all great teams.
@@pimmyflores8739 I disagree completely but that's cool. The only team that you mentioned that was good was LSU, not sayin the other teams couldn't have won. I understand FSU's position. I'm on their side in that conversation. They SHOULD have been in the playoffs. But they weren't. I could complain about UGA, but I definitely understand why we were left out. To me it comes down to this...and anybody who's played football at a higher level should know...that's not a "meaningless game". That's just something the media keeps throwing out. That was the Orange Bowl. But bk to my point, to compete with the guys who have sacrificed all year, are injured, seniors that will never play again, etc etc...you don't abandom them. You should be chomping at the bit to get to help your teammates and compete as a team, as a brotherhood again. No games are "meaningless" in that regard. I said a culture issue bc clearly FSU whined and complained and there were talks about boycotting by the Uni n the team took a victim hood mentality. I understand being upset about it but you pull together and try to compete. You should want to compete. I could say a lot more but I've already written a book. That's my opinion. It's just an opinion, but that's football to me. If someone disagrees, fine. No problem with that. Take care. BTW that was a great comeback. Y'all almost pulled it off. Great game. The Natty should be interesting
I'm disgusted by the 20 players for FSU who sat out this game. This was supposed to be a statement game for why they belonged in the playoffs, and they left their team hanging out to dry.
That was the problem, FSU administrators and team coaches knew that they were no going to make no statement against Georgia, that is why they encourage players to sat out.
This game showed who the men were, and the cry babies. Georgia sucked it up and went out to play. FSU? Naw, sit and cry and still think you shoulda been in final four. Looks like the BCS got it right.
Here's a list of Georgia players out for the game. FSU could have brought the Florida National Guard and still lost. Injured players: Brock Bowers Amarius Mims Smael Mondon Julian Humphery Damon Wilson RARA Thomas Branson Robinson Transfer Portal players: Darris Smith Jonathan Jefferson Brock Vandagriff CJ Madden Jackson Meeks Austin Blaske EJ Lightsey Mekhi Mews Nyland Green Xavian Sorey Jamier Moten Zeed Haynes Aliou Bah Logan Johnson Marvin Jones Jr. AJ Harris Jamon Dumas-Johnson Daniel Harris De'Nylon Morrissette Josh Miller
"Coach, your program spent a month disrespecting Georgia, thinking that having to play Georgia was an insult to your team. How did that work out for you?"
I’m already tired of hearing ppl say we as Georgia fans can’t flex this win! If fsu would have won or the score been closer to like 30-17 they would be bragging about how they showed out with their B team. Idc who you do or don’t have if you beat a team by 60 that’s something to brag about. This also says a lot about Mike and the culture he’s created for the fsu program or lack there of! Georgia played a great game and I was happy to see some of the young guys play! It’s got me really excited for next year but I will miss all the guys leaving for the draft like Bowers, Mims, Bullard etc! GO DAWGS!
Florida State cried all over the place. Georgia is a football team. Florida State will be remembered for this game. Not the little season of the ACC Tonight Georgia didn't cry but played football.
FSU is classless . All this crying .They feel so entitled. This is still college football . Go compete . You’re playing a great team in UGA . Why not take this opportunity to show you belong . How are they any better than michigan in 2021 or Tennessee both teams having a great offensive year until they ran into UGA . So having success in the regular season against mediocre opponents in a weak conference doesn’t mean you would have been great even at full strength. GA could have made the same excuses.There’s a huge cultural difference in these two teams . FSU keep talking about playing together and being connected but they’re not . Your best players that could play chose not to do so. So they wasn’t as connected and bought in as he says .
FSU fans haven't learned their lesson and reality hasn't hit them yet neither on how much damage has been done to their program with this kind of loss to Georgia. How you going to be FSU on the recruiting trail after this beating.
By the opt out, lack of depth, lack of wanting to actually compete can affect the ability to recruit in the future. I wouldn’t wanna go to FSU after them allowing a team to embarrass them. The difference between teams like Georgia and Florida state is one team is a dynasty and the other is just sore losers. Even though Bama lost 2 games last year and didn’t make the playoffs, none of their players opted out and were able to come out on top against Kansas state. FSU won’t have an undefeated team next season
What is funny FSU was rated #5 in the nation and Georgia #6. Georgia was the underdawg according to ranking. If anyone has a beef with the CFB it should be Georgia.
imagine being the coach of either of these teams. phenomenal opportunity to be playing in a major bowl on national tv; for some players it's their last time putting on their jerseys. you could give your team the message of 'finish the job and season off on a strong note' or 'we didn't make the playoffs, let's be babies and quit when we don't get our way'. one coach chose the former route and the other chose the latter. shows you who inculcates the right mindset & character in their players and whose program is a winning one (winning measured not just in wins) from a non-sec fan - well done, coach smart and the dawgs. happy New Year folks
If you think Coach Norvell wanted all those players to opt out and for the game to have gone this way you are very mistaken. He didn’t choose this, he was dealt this by powers beyond his control. Powers with deep pockets who don’t give a **** about college football despite running the show, which is all it has become. College football has become a reality tv show.
@@lucasparham5068 he was dealt the result of playing in the orange bowl, a major, nationally televised game against the 2-time defending champs. how he (and his team) chose to respond is what i'm talking about. and he chose to allow people to quit on their teammates, staff and university. as for your point about what CFB has become, completely agree. NIL, the transfer portal and the playoffs have really taken much away from the game
Could you imagine seeing a score like that in one of the playoff games? Everyone in the country knows Georgia is still one of the very top teams in CFB. They were the ones sacrificed to appease the SEC haters.
Bama fan. Obviously, UGA is one of the best teams, if not the best. BUt how could UGA have gotten into this outlier of a year? They couldnt have gotten in over Bama, the Big 12 champion who beat Bama nor the the undefeated Big 10 or Pac12 teams. ANY other year- UGA would be a lock. NOt this year unfortunately, though we all wish otherwise. I would love to see this buzzsaw of a team get in. INjuries affected you as it did us 2 years ago. Its tough, but so be it
@stevesetzer3361 not a Bama fan, Go Gators. Everyone outside of the SEC would hate another Bama vs Georgia for the National Championship but they are the two best teams. Going undefeated in a weak conference means nothing. Nobody hearing Liberty U complaining with their undefeated season because they know.
Hey coach, how about mentioning “Georgia is very talented and played a great game tonight. Hats off the them.” You had a bunch of kids who quit on their team. Period, end of story!
You can hate the players who opted out (or if you are smart, hate this dumb system that incentivizes that) but I don’t see how you can trash Norvell for that. Be proud of your coach, rightly so. He’s earned it. But Norvell is not to blame for what happened, despite the fact he took responsibility for it multiple times in this press conference.
@@lucasparham5068Norvell is the reason fsu is where they are. The players and the fans have taken on his mentality. He plays the victim. Look how Kirby handled the situation and the outcome. Norvell is 100% responsible for getting blown out.
This game had two teams that believed they should have been in the CFP. Georgia proved that they should have been there. FSU proved that they had no business being there. In the NFL Draft you will see more players from Georgia who played in the game than FSU players who opted out.
The problem is we really have no idea how this game would have played out if FSU was at full strength, even with them %100 with their QB1 too I still think Georgia wins though and I still think Georgia is clearly the best team in college football at this point. Had this been next year then it would not even be a conversation, the real issue here is 4 team CFP, it does not and never has made sense.
@Neverasheep the comment wasn't referring to georgia doofus. That being said they lost said game by 3 and tonight proved they should have been in and why this playoff is a joke.
I watched the UGA presser and I think I became a fan. That being said, they beat a JV team or something other than a 13-0 Fla. St. team. So no, not much was proven, except maybe the Fla. St. program has no heart, soul or togetherness, like what UGA demonstrated.
@@corvettechris1387 No!!! FSU shouldn't have been in the playoffs. They still would have lost, look at the team and the struggle against Louisville. Are you kidding me?! They choked and the coach didn't good job of holding his team accountable.
@@rlhaff3560 well feel free to enlighten me instead of making a pointless comment. I saw two cultures face off in that game. Both thought they deserved to be in the playoff. One went out and played their starters, some who have just as much to lose by getting injured as anyone on Florida state. They played to make to win and make a statement. The other had their feelings hurt and decided to leave their teammates high and dry to get absolutely humiliated, and the coach went along with it. One of those two teams is the best college football program in the country, the other isn’t even on the top tier.
Why not just admit that your team is not in the same league as teams like Georgia and Alabama? Instead of coming together and proving the selection committee wrong, you proved they were right.😊
College football absolutely deserved that awful game. And there will be many more of them until they fix this sport. Too many people see CFB as a reality tv show, not a sport.
@@dennisroseman1158 Go back and watch yesterday’s games. FSU was as good or better than Bama or Michigan. In fact, FSU’s third string QB put up better numbers against GA than Bamas did against MI, and I thibk you would agree that GA has a better defense than MI and that FSU was missing all its major weapons. Funny, isn’t it?
Look at the politicians of Florida who cried and acted like biitches when FSU didn’t make the CFP. And trickled down to the coach & AD. A pure disgrace and embarrassment
So, are you actually defending the playoff system or did you just wanna make this political for some reason? If the conference schedules don't matter at all, why are those games even tallied? If we have different divisions, but undefeated teams in division, one still get excluded, what's the point? Stfu 🙄
Based on what? Going undefeated is not worthy of a playoff spot. Sorry you don't get how the playoff works. For clarity, I think the committee is garbage.@@JC-xh9mp
@@choff6057 Alabama. Easy. They went undefeated. Alabama didn’t. Texas beat Alabama as a 1 loss conference champ. You can’t make the argument that you’re only putting the best teams in the playoff and leave Georgia out . Either you’re putting the team in that earned it or you’re putting in the best teams . The committee tried to have it both ways and lost any credibility it had left. Florida State did everything that was asked. Personally I think the FSU / Michigan match up would be a closer game than Alabama . I think Alabama wins easy. But I also think Georgia beats any team in the playoff. But Georgia’s not in because they didn’t earn it. Alabama earned a conference championship but FSU did more. It came down to money in the end because the SEC draws more than everybody else. But FSU definitely earned a chance. And the committee is to blame for what happened to FSU yesterday as much as Georgia. Sometimes the best teams don’t win. Everybody in the country knew the National Championship game was the SEC championship game. Everything is just a formality now. But under the committee’s explanation both Georgia and Alabama should be in the playoff. But they contradicted themselves with that one. So they should have done the correct thing and put in FSU , injury depleted roster and all.
So Georgia has a brotherhood too! So which brotherhood is Glenn talking about? The one that quits during hard times or the one that plays for each other? Obviously, we now know which one! After the SEC Championship loss Milton wasted no time announcing he was playing for his brothers!
Norvell cried and complained so much when being left out his team took on that mentality. Haven’t heard many people say it that way but imo it’s completely true.
Like Norvell said its about the response to adversity thats going to show what youre about. Yall showed the world how to quit on your fellow teammates,fan base,city,state,country,world,and university. UGA is built differently. GA got snubbed too. They prepared for the upcoming challenge and handled business HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS 63-3
I think this loss is going to have a prolonging effect. Sure its just one game but it also shows the mentality and "buy-in" of their football culture, or lack there-of.
Wrong. This is something that will happen to more teams in the bowls outside the playoff games. Did you listen to Coach Smart??? I'm sure you know more than him.
@@rlhaff3560 So why did UGA still treat it as an important game and not FSU? If any team should not have been motivated it would be the snubbed back to back reigning national champs by your standards. Its poor leadership and buy in of their football program.
They’ll be known as selfish quitters because of all of the opt outs. Georgia was disrespected as well by the playoff committee, but their players chose to play for each other and not quit on each other. Watch Kirby Smart’s post game conference with Kendall Milton and Kamari Lassiter and you’ll understand the difference between the culture of both programs. The difference is huge.
So you’re telling me the culture is stronger at a back to back national champion program with a history of recent success than at a school going through what FSU has since the end of the Fisher era in 2016? Shocking. I have to guess you don’t follow FSU, which is fine. But let’s just say it is anything but shocking that our culture is behind GA at this point. Props for a great win. Hopefully we will see you in the future under better circumstances.
@@lucasparham5068 well what explanation do you have for most of your starters saying fuck ya'll more or less? I mean UGA was pretty much in the same boat as FSU but they stuck together and played - what did FSU do? Yeah, the culture is MUCH stronger at UGA and that's a fact.
@@Mox3712 Youre arguing with me but saying basically the same thing I said. Although, you are completely wrong that FSU and GA were in the same boat. FSU went the whole season undefeated, GA did not.
Obviously, the FSU team that played in this game was a shell of itself and they had ZERO chance to win this game. That said... when you recruit half of your team from the transfer portal how loyal do you expect them to be?
Problem with that is that the portal is our only route to have any success on the field right now. So you either ignore the portal and stay old school and lose lose lose, or embrace the portal, win on the field again and again, but risk these debacles. It’s a shame what has become of this sport.
IMO, The brotherhood of the DAWGS came together and focused. The remaining players at FS were so disillusioned that they simply focused on remaining as healthy as possible for next season as college players or the pros. Practice for this game with so many starters missing was basically recruit training instead of facing opposing teams the entire season. Those players that chose to stay and play was a testimony to strength of character. Although the apparent reason given to them for the playoffs was the missing quarterback; the actual loss of additional 15 missing players was a contributor.
Which further proves the committee made the right choice with Bama. There is NO WAY Alabama would be so "disillusioned" that they would opt out. This just shows the lack of grit FSU has.
@@andrewb.9815 You nailed it. Alabama was left out last year. Bryce young and Will Anderson played, they were two first round NFL draft picks. I am tired of Alabama being blamed for this. FSU got the beat down they deserved. They had opt outs that were not Championship material, they proved it by not showing up. This absolutely proves FSU's lack of grit.
FSU football is that one kid growing up that if it didn't go his way he is taking his football home. My Bulldogs showed up and showed out. And the players that opted out not to play in the Bowl game for FSU got no back bone. SPINELESS!
Not once did he congratulate Georgia on the game they played. He’s a sore loser and low class coach. Even the post game handshake shows it. If he thinks Georgia ran up the score, he needs to remember Georgia put in the 2nd team after halftime and they still couldnt stop them. Go Dawgs
Even remembering the Alamo sounded more plausible. The guy has no goddamn clue and this is why he'll be hitting the road sooner than later. His players flat out quit.
I feel for the players on FSU in this game, their teammates abandoned them and left them to be slaughtered. Those players that left should be thrown out of football. No NFL team should pick any of them up, let them learn a valuable lesson from this! At least this coach takes some responsibility, however, not enough to keep his job or his reputation.
You honestly think Norvell is on the hot seat after one joke/disaster of a game, after an undefeated season which followed the first ten win season in years after the horror show of the Taggart era? Norvell is sitting on one of the coldest seats in football and this despicable game won’t change that. Now, if next season is a wreck that could change, but I don’t see that happening.
Look at all these classy Ga fans 😂. If Ga was left out being conference champions because starting qb was hurt, you all would be hurt also. I don’t blame the players for not playing. I would hate to see them get injured before the combined. Hats off to Ga for playing a really good game. Georgia is the standard for college football.
Coach, watch the Georgia post game press conference. Try to understand that culture is the most important differentiator at the elite level. Georgia held together strong because the players played for each other. They didn’t opt out, they didn’t whine, they didn’t litigate. They went out and played their best game of the season.
Clemson fan here. Congratulations to Georgia. I knew there was a huge gap between Georgia and FSU, but this was a whipping. No doubt the team that got the short end of the stick from the committee was Georgia. I said it after the top 4 was selected. I also said FSU shouldn’t have been in the top 4. The game would have been closer, but the outcome would’ve been the same if both teams were at full strength. Not looking forward to the future as college football is broken. I wouldn’t be surprised to see teams make the top 12 have the same thing happen next year. Teams with the FSU culture with a me first attitude are going to put themselves over the team. They have that right. Players like you have, the culture coach Smart has built…it’s very impressive and it’s going to be a challenge to take you guys down.
To all the players that played get away from this guy you have heart this guy is a pitty a big pitty yuck you suck and you cried all month instead of bringing your team together and leading them get out of here and it’s so disappointing for them to have a year like they did and end it like that is pitiful pathetic pain I hate it for those young men to be lead by this pitty pusher
Adversity, adversity... like FSU is the only program that had things to overcome.... but in this game failed miserably. Norvell is making things worse, and that does not indicate a better future. I think with this conversation, FSU will not be competitive for recruits that can go to a first rate program.
I don't dislike Norvill but he just seems like a wimpy CEO type. I don't think there is any evidence that this guy is a good coach, he's just thriving on Transfer Portal and NIL talent. And YES I understand that's the reality of the current game, but I think there are hundred random coaches in college who could win with FSU's talent playing in the ACC.
Don't follow either team but I do care about the kids and the idea of college football. Sick and tired of sportscasters, coaches and fans saying "they understand why kids do it," "I'd do it myself if I were them," It's all crap!! The TEAM got the players in the position to be drafted, the TEAM gave them the opportunity for NIL $$, the TEAM and SCHOOL except in 1 in a million athletes help carry them to their success. So the fact that a player can't finish, chooses not to finish and leave his brothers on the field to be crushed is 100% the show of their character. Hearing people associated with the sport, coaches, news, players saying the bowl games are a waste is pitiful; these same people use the bowl games as motivation, often (Huskers especially) gauge a winning season and success on getting to one. I hope we can save the game...
Two different programs with two different leaders. Two different philosophies and two different directions. You get what you preach. Norvell preached about being a victim. Then kirby victimized that FSU program. GO DAWGS!!!
What philosophy is that exactly? I keep seeing culture being mentioned everywhere. What kind of culture? Like off field issue culture? Off season culture? That the kinda culture Georgia really wanna mention?
Both teams had 27 players not play, UGA’s best player Bowers, both starting MLB and two upper classmen MLB not play, true freshmen CJ Allen and Wilson did work on FSU, starting WR, starting Left Tackle in Mims to name a few that did not play for UGA. All these excuses and talk about brotherhood and connection of the team, is hilarious
Yeah! Georgia let up off the gas for sure. And let’s not forget that Georgia had 23 total players out as well including their best player Brock Bowers.
@@Sonnen88 yeah let’s not. FSU simply is not that deep. Depth matters. The 3rd and 4th stringers for GA were all 4-5 stars that could play anywhere in the country. It wasn’t fair FSU had to play GA. GA can beat anyone in the country. Unfortunately Bama had their number a few weeks ago. FSU had to cry to get past Louisville 16-6. To anyone that thinks FSU, with their starters, woulda scored more than 16 on GA is absolutely delusional. They only scored 16 on a mediocre Louisville team! I’m an ACC guy raised in the panhandle too, but let’s not get too crazy. Not sure FSU coulda beat GA with Charlie Ward! Lmfao. To be fair, Georgia was the defending 2 time champion and could possibly win it all if they were in the final 4. Crazy part is that Georgia also had 23 players out including their best player Brock Bowers. Kirby Smart was even being nice by calling all running plays for a bit and even threw in a few of the walk ons and 4th stringers. FSU, or any team in the ACC just don’t have that kind of firepower; depth
When the NFL draft arrives,I’d be very wary of drafting an FSU player.If they quit on a coach and their university then what makes you think they won’t quit on you. Bo Schembechler: The team, the team,the team.
While I did joy my dawgs completely thrashing FSU, much respect to the Seminoles, who did go undefeated this season - Unlike some of the teams in the playoff
So many on here claiming UGA was at full strength because coach Smart said so in the presser. Smart rarely talks about injuries and has a next man up culture. Here is a list of starters for UGA who did not play in the game: Brock Bowers, Amaris Mims, RaRa Thomas, Dhumas Johnson, Smely Mondon, Christian Miller, Julian Humphrey. In addition GA had 18 players enter the portal who did not play.
UGA is obviously a far better team than FSU. EVERYONE knows this. Yet FSU keeps crying about not getting what they “deserve”. UGA hasn’t been crying about anything. UGA manned up. The CFP is for the 4 BEST teams, not the 4 most “deserving” teams. No team is entitled to anything. Coach Norvell keeps sending the wrong message. I’m not sure why this mediocre team feels so entitled. ACC was incredibly weak this season.
So instead of try to prove the case that they were "snubbed" they decided to opt out. Goes to show the amount of grit the program has. Guaranteed if FSU was chosen over Bama, Bama would have shown up. FSU simply isn't National Championship material, time to stop pretending. Real champions don't mope and feel sorry for themselves.
Kirby said it best, after the game lastnight....college football as a sport is broken and people need to see this game and decide what they want out of college football. I agree 1000%. That statement can be true for everyone involved in college football, even the CFP Committee. You can talk about opt outs, transfer portal, NFL draft, and what team had the most or least starters...etc...etc......this was a dark day for college football, right along with the CFPC excluding an undefeated division champ team, FSU. The team proved people wrong when they won without their QB, they pulled together and overcame so many adversities and deservingly earned their right to prove how good they were against Michigan, GA, and whoever else.....but the CFP made it loudly clear that it is better to cheat, lose with your star QB, than it is to dedicate yourself, commit your self, have respect and loyalty to your team. And for what??? It would make more money to do things this way. This is what they choose to do at the end of the day, is to ROB a hardworking team of their shot, just to make more money. So when FSU starters do the same thing, people belittle the team??? So hypocritical. This game between FSU and GA is a direct result of the CFP committee decision on how to handle things all for the sake of a dollar. Kirby was right, it needs to be fixed. Sadly, i feel it wont. Proud of you FSU. Go NOLES!
Belief in each other? They literally quit on the guys. You are right, they will be remembered because you set a record for the Biggest lose in Bowl History and was beat by 60 points. Not for the selfish quitters. I have Respect to all the FSU players that held true to each other and your Fans.
I hate that there were so many FSU players that quit on there team. Opt outs are a huge problem and not something players would have done 10 or 15 years ago. If I was an NFL scout I wouldn’t waste my time on a player that opts out. A competitor will always want to play.
Weak, IMO. Just weak coaching, team culture, and excuses. I'm so grateful for Kirby, our players and coaches and the culture we are building. GO DAWGS!
Championship level team only when playing a cupcake schedule. Played Georgia and got destroyed. No mater it you had all your starters you don’t make up 60 points. Dream on white Tonto
I'm sure it was tough to get up on that stage behind that mic, but damn, man, you got your ass handed to you by 60. How about giving your opponent some credit? If you can't, you've got no class.... Your opponent had injuries, too, and 21 guys in the portal. Stop with the excuses....
FSU was crushed l, but it is amazing how GA fans ignore the fact that FSU played the entire game with second and third string players because the main players abandon their brothers which is very sad.
Nah. Georgia will remember the 63-3 win, but the rest of the nation will remember the controversy of leaving a 13-0 P4 conference champion out of the playoffs, and how that contributed to the end of the ACC altogether. College football is in shambles right now. Your coach is right that it needs to be fixed.
The Nation will remember players quit. Doing this erased the season. They will be remembered as losers. Yes college football is just semi pro teams who happen to play at colleges. No one will fix. Lots of money. It could be fixed with few changes. How? Attach scholarships to graduation rates. If the college graduates 70% of students then football team must average 70% graduation rate also. If they do not, they lose scholarships based on how far below. This means coaches must recruit student athletes. Players must also sign contracts. Either yearly in that they play “all” games in a season. Bowls also. Or that they sign to a 4 year contract and must graduate within 5 years.
Zero pride sitting that many out. It was disgraceful. That’s why they got left out, it was a charachter issue with that program…can’t. E proud of mailing it in and not compete. They had a chance to prove they really deserved to be in and they showed us their true character players and coaches. I’d be ashamed as an FSU fan…
Seriously? I agree FSU should have been in the playoffs. They went undefeated in a power 5 conference. So, they should have been in. Bama should have been out as well. They lost to Texas at home. So, Bama should have been the odd team out. Along with Georgia. The SEC Championship game was a playoff game. We lost. So, The Dawgs would be out, too. All that being said. FSU was not in the top 8 teams in that nation. Anyone in the top 8, maybe even the top 10, would have throttled FSU. Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Bama would all crush FSU with no injuries or opt outs. FSU has improved, but they are not ready for the true elite teams yet.
It's about matchups. FSU would have matched up better against a team like Michigan. Had TCU played Georgia in the bowl game instead of cfp championship the same thing would have happened and people would have said TCU shouldn't have been in. In 2021 when Bama played Cincinnati, Cincinnati matched up well against Alabama pass game with 3 NFL players in the secondary. So Alabama just pounded the ball because that o-line was so much bigger and stronger. Michigan will get destroyed by Alabama.
This goes to show you it's all about each person it's sad that they sit out on a bowl game not only FSU but all the teams bowl games today aren't worth watching I used to be a college fan used to be
