It's not really fair to single out FSU because most teams not in the CFP have players who opted out for the draft or hit the portal, but if I was an FSU fan I would be extremely disappointed. You would think they as a team would have pulled together to prove a point to the college football world that they deserved to have a shot in the CFP, and stand by their fellow players in an "us against the world" mentality. This is sad after the season they had. I wonder how bowl sponsors are going to take these new bowls with all the opt outs and TP players? I mean viewership has got to decline after this..... these are just not the teams you are paying to see earlier. players on NIL not playing... all the big players out... these games are trash for most cases.... I expect if this stays the same, donors, sponsors, check writers of all kinds will start to question their investments.

Actually these New Year's Six games have been thrown a life line by the expanded playoffs. The others, not so much.

it would appear we don't have to worry about that FSU NC thing...... and the Committee can sit bak and say 'we told you so" More than 1/2 times f FSU starters are not playing. Idiotic statement.

No sir. its 2023, they knew they were not playing. They had a month to prepare. they are FSU. UGA had players out too... If the coaches can't keep players, motivate players, recuirt or prepare players while Other programs can... then its on them. or at least thats what bama fans said when they defend their 2009 tile when Colt McCoy was knocked out in the 1st.... "prepare better".... The committee will no doubt claim they were right. the world will forget they were 13-0.... sucks. i was really hoping for a FSU win..... but i like UGA so i had to kinda like them to win too.

Actually, the committee should say nothing. This is not the FSU team that would have been in the playoff. They can't say anything. The issue of FSU preparing for this game is a different issue. You cannot link them. Had all the FSU players not quit on their team, and UGA was dominating like this, then yeah, they could point out that they were right. But that is not the case.

Well, it is the same committee that said the #1 team in the country losing to Alabama by 3 was deserving of tumbling down to #6. Not saying Georgia deserved the Playoffs, but this is one of the top 4 teams in the country if going by talent on the field and roster wise. Just glad to see Georgia step up and play like I thought they would.

I really like what the backups are doing. Playing hard and Stockton looking real good too.

What a BS penalty on the Dawgs. A bowl game and #9 catches a TD pass and get a penalty for celebration.

And, on that note, I apologize for my comments earlier this month wishing for such a beat down of this FSU program. It is not this team on the field and playing the game I had issues with, but more the politics I heard and read, the reaction of the fan base and being harped on by the media, so I want to be on record for my overreaction and just say I apologize.
For the players tonight who stepped up the best they could...I tip my cap! "Cheers", to you!!
To those who chose to step away from this team for their own reasons, sleep in the bed you make.

So, what does Georgia do now, run the clock out the best they can? Do you allow the offense to run? Might be time to slow the roll as this is tough to watch. Hell, my Clemson fan friend, Terri, who joined me tonight, she couldn't handle the beat down and went home with her pup!
Dawgs...let's finish this!

Mr. Javon Bullard has declared for the NFL draft. Javon played in the Orange Bowl with his teammates yesterday. A DGD.

Post See new posts Conversation Tom Fornelli @tomfornelli I'd like to put it on the record that no matter the final score of the Orange Bowl, Florida State should've been in the CFP, and Georgia is the best team in the country.
Which is why the "deserving vs best" argument holds no weight with the four teams chosen. 7:24 PM · Dec 30, 2023 · 527.3K Views
Post See new posts Conversation Graham Coffey @grahamcoffeydc Georgia’s win over FSU means the Bulldogs have won 42 games in the last three seasons.
That is the most games a college football team has ever won in a three-year span
Alabama won 41 from 2016-2018. Clemson won 41 from 2017-2019.
