This got me to thinking. I can never root for Miami in a national title game. Them going up 6-3 on us will just bother the hell out of me until I die if we never catch up to them. But hypothetically, if they win an NC, it's going to put more pressure on Alford and the BOT to really do something.
My dislike for Norvell will swell to hatred if Miami wins this fake playoff. They are clearly plug-and-play now. They have it rolling, all they have to do is portal in a QB the next cycle win with him and 5 star QBs out of high school will WAIT THEIR TURN to play there. I mean guys this is really insane where we are right now.
My son and daughter were watching the Ole Miss game. Tough conversations with my kids after the game.
Dad what does this mean?
Miami is going to play for the NC
Dad why didn't they call PI on that last play?
They don't call it on hail marys and they want miami in the title game
What if they win?
If they win it will probably set them up to be really good for 10 years.
Dad is FSU going to make a playoffs next year?
No
Why are we having so many transfers?
It's complicated and we have a bad culture
Dad that guy Mario is so ugly, he makes me sick
He's ugly but he's got a loaded squad stop complaining how he looks
Dad are they going to win next week?
I'm not going to lie to you guys its on their home field, I've seen this nightmare before. They probably will because of home-field advantage both Oregon and Indiana are bad match-ups along the lines. They are finesse teams.
That sucks
Yeah, it does, but if they win it fairly, we have nobody to blame but ourselves, the way FSU is run and coached we had a chance to keep them out of the playoff. But keep your heads up, we'll be back at some point
When?
I don't know honestly
You think we beat them next year
No
Are we going to the game there next year
Depends on our record as of now, yes, if we are sub-500 playing bad football, not happening. It's disrespectful to FSU fans to waste our time and support to travel to watch a team that's not in a position to be competitive with a head coach going into the 7th year. We'll watch on TV

My son, an ultra fsu fan with a Noles backpack and all, was extremely upset last night. We live in south Florida and he has to go to school today and face his school friends which are all canes fans. In 2023 he bout lost it when Kirk said on tv we missed the playoffs being undefeated. His mind couldn’t even comprehend it. It’s been a rough 3 years.

What makes you think anyone associated with FSU football can fix this mess? Jimbo tried to tell us years ago. The way FSU runs football from administrative to on field results is broken. Think about it. We are a bottom feeder ACC football team. Never thought I would see the day.

Miami is going to be national champs. We are still going to be haggling with mid players off a 5-7 team begging them to stay. Say what you want about Mario that team the last few weeks has looked alot like the old UM teams without all the shucking and jiving after each play. They have a very clear vision and goal. Build the trenches and get a good QB. If you have that the wr and rb will come. If you have a DL that can get after the qb the db and lb can play free and not have to defend for 10 seconds at a time.
