OT: 2023 Orange Bowl…

Florida State deserves every tongue lashing they get
Embarrassing as a program
Embarrassing as a program
So Florida State quit because they didn’t get in the playoffs?
A team that had a true beef would have stood up, played the game and whooped on Georgia to prove a point. Instead, you got this piece of garbage.
Meanwhile, Georgia players didn't opt out because they didn't want their last effort in a Bulldogs uniform to be losing the SEC Championship Game.
Agreed and would have a legitimate argument to name themselves national champs like UCF did one year
Norvell is a weak leader and an enabler of a me first, crybaby mentality. He fits right in at FSU.
Nah. I will take a team like Rutgers to root for every single time over a bunch of whiny FSU players that don't understand the meaning of team.
Better programs do but they aren’t called bowls. 4 team playoff makes every game an elimination game. Just ask Ohio State and Georgia.
Why wasn’t Alabama’s loss to Texas an elimination game?
This “every game counts” BS is just that….BS
The teams that don’t make the playoff should open up next season with their bowl opponent. You’d have very few if any opt outs
Well then that’s unfortunate..
I know it’s a different sport, but our fan base was up in arms last year when we missed the NCAA tourney.
I guarantee it would be 1000x worse if our undefeated football team…a doormat for decades, missed out. Silly to think otherwise
If Alabama lost to any other team but Texas, Florida State gets in ahead of Texas. It was terrible luck for FSU for Texas to play Alabama and win.
The SEC champ gets in by beating 12-0 UGA, therefore only Texas had to get in also.
The only reason Alabama got in is because of their conference…the committee and ESPN was not leaving out the SEC champ.
Maybe I did not understand the point you were trying to make. I don't understand the mentality of all the FSU players who opted out. Seems their Coach fomented thisibe and approves their checking out.
Life lesson... Quitters dont win
Cause the committee told them wins don’t matter without a starting QB.
That exactly the lesson the the committee told them..
Their last 3 wins, without their QB..were meaningless.
So why play an exhibition that’s meaningless in itself??
A 2 loss Sec champ gets in over a 1 loss champ of any other conference, almost guaranteed…
Luckily we won’t have to debate this anymore
Wouldn't the same logic applied if they were picked over Alabama? They had no chance of winning in the CFP. Alabama had a much more impressive resume of quality wins. Did the CFP rules state that an undefeated P5 team that won their championship was guaranteed a slot?
Every game matters? No?
Alabama’s reasoning would be cause they lost to Texas. Pretty easy…
Unless every game doesn’t matter???????????
I think we are talking past each other, and short of a live discussion, I don't think we will see eye to eye. I'm not saying you are wrong and I am right. There is some merit to what you are saying. The bigger problem for FSU in addition to the QB issue is their schedule was weak. We can scream that's not fair, but fair is in the eye of the beholder.
All games are not equal, especially for ACC teams. This is an interesting debate. For the record, my initial reaction when they named the 4 CFP teams was FSU got screwed, but on further reflection, I concluded that Alabama was more worthy.
As to how FSU, their HC and players handled it, they came off as whiny children.
That was after the fact though. They were anything but pussies playing with a 2nd string qb and winning, no??
Georgia had no problem opting in and showing FSU a good time
If the argument is FSU had a weak schedule…they shouldn’t have been top 4 in the weeks leading up to the final rankings. If anything their schedule got tougher the last 2 weeks..yet they dropped. Makes zero sense.
We certainly aren’t gonna agree..and agreeing won’t change anything anyway.
I think the CFP was ALWAYS been about business and the 4 teams are chosen not by who’s best, but by who’s most deserving, but by who willl bring in the most cash. It’s 1000% an “invitational”
Cause Georgia didn’t get screwed and Georgia wasn’t told their outcomes were meaningless without their qb
100% and most with any common sense knew this which is why all the bluster regarding FSU is utterly ridiculous
won't matter, they'll be in the BIG soon enough
Ok. I would use the term quitters, but that it picking nits.
of course he would, he's just being a complete ***
in addition, not a single one of our players is projected to be drafted higher than any of the fsu guys that opted out. He's utterly clueless once again
you are spot on
