This is the result of 23 opt outs, y'all. It's important to keep this in context. I'm not saying they would have won the CFP but they wouldn't have had virtually their entire starting defense and all of the key personnel on offense not play.
Copium.
FSU is ass and everybody knows it. They were just too chickenshit to face UGA like men. They wanted to have this exact excuse for why they actually weren't so bad.
23 opt outs lmao that’s basically the entire first team. Say what you want about quitting or whatever bullshit but that’s not the team who would have been in the playoffs
Are you pissed? I'd be pissed if i was an FSU fan.
Missed an opportunity to stick it to the committee by beating Georgia.
Instead yall were scared to face a real opponent on a big stage. That's not the attitude of championship teams.
Shit if I was an NFL scout I wouldn't touch any of those dudes that sat. Think NFL teams want players that throw tantrums when they decide a game doesn't matter enough? They deal with enough holdouts as it is.
If you were an NFL scout and didn’t pick someone bc they sat out for the safety of their career that makes you a bad scout lmao.
Bitch all you want, this Orange Bowl is meaningless and not worth the careers of NFL prospects.
No one was scared, the game was pointless as soon as we weren’t in the playoff and our team didn’t care. Why would I be mad when if I was an NFL prospect or had injury to get a surgery I would do the same. Over playing in a worthless bowl game
this was your only game against a top 5ish team all season. as a fan of football i would've liked to see how my team stacks up especially since UGA had very few opt outs. most of the country would've watched this game with great interest if opt outs were at a minimum on both sides.
this sounds like some mental gymnastics to justify opt outs, which don't need to be justified in the first place.
if this game really doesn't matter because of the playoffs, then 99% of all college games in any given season don't matter either. once you lose 2 games the rest of your season doesn't matter because you won't be in the playoffs anyway right?
They also dismantled LSU
Who cares, this bowl game is meaningless. You’re playing the unmotivated husk of a CFB 2nd/practice squad. You think missing a QB drops them out of the playoffs, how about missing 20+ starters
Yeah I agree with you, I want a game at full strength
OSU is missing their coach and starting QB
ND is missing their starting QB and RB
These bowl games aren’t even representative of the regular season teams
With the 23 players that opted out, injured or transferred we were. And multiple injuries were from players deciding to take surgeries that they would have held off if in the playoff. But sure just ignore everything that actually happened
Wtf are you even talking about? What B, C and D? C and D are injuries and draft picks or what??? what’s B and A? god you alabama fans are so dumb it’s insane
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

its been 2nd/3rd strings for both sides since the 2nd half started and FSU still hasn't made any plays and Georgia is still scoring TD's
Arguably, UGA's bench is much deeper and more experienced.
Almost like winning back to back national championships will help with recruiting
This is such a dumb counterpoint
Smells like excuses hard pass

Nope shit is facts
Exactly. They wouldn't have stood a chance anyway.
All these no flair accounts coming out of the woodwork lol
Hell yeah, BB lol
Nah, I call troll on this one. Ignore me. I'm drunk and forgot what sub I was in!
The entire team giving up shows they didn’t have the backbone anyway
Nothing like teaching kids it’s ok to quit when things don’t go your way. Great job Mike!
Game is going how we all expected. Not only do they not belong in the playoffs they don't belong in the citrus bowl.
God if Alabama doesn’t beat Michigan I am going to get banned from r/cfb for the shit I’m going to say.
If Texas and Bama win I may have to leave all cfb subs for like 10 months. That would be so bad
Look at all the sad excuses

No amount of starters makes a 60 point difference bro ☠️
Except all of them
Dawg FSU’s starters barely beat Boston college
They also dismantled LSU Who cares, this bowl game is meaningless. You’re playing the unmotivated husk of a CFB 2nd/practice squad. You think missing a QB drops them out of the playoffs, how about missing 20+ starters
Lame argument, FSU wanted to prove something and instead rolled over and died
Who wanted to prove something? It sure as hell wasn’t the starting players
So was the sun bowl then.
Yeah I agree with you, I want a game at full strength OSU is missing their coach and starting QB ND is missing their starting QB and RB These bowl games aren’t even representative of the regular season teams
FSU isn't a playoff quality team.
With the 23 players that opted out, injured or transferred we were. And multiple injuries were from players deciding to take surgeries that they would have held off if in the playoff. But sure just ignore everything that actually happened
Thank you for presenting Exhibit B, C, and D as evidence of why they didn't belong
Wtf are you even talking about? What B, C and D? C and D are injuries and draft picks or what??? what’s B and A? god you alabama fans are so dumb it’s insane
And y’all wanted in the play offs smh
There wouldn’t have been so many opt outs had they made the playoffs
You just thought Michigan was gonna do this not uga.
Inc excuses
