That defense was masterclass! The defense came to play. 14 tackles for loss is a season high. 188 total yards allowed is a season low. 7 sacks is a season high. 10 pass breakups is a season high. This defense balled out, and they deserve all the credit for this win.

[@puppethound]

...and to be in the playoffs, people, I feel, put to much emphasis on margin of victory and not enough on quality of win. FSU has the same strength of schedule, if not more, than any other top 10 team and they didn't lose...at all... 13-0 is better than 12-1 no matter how you try to spin it and making assumptions that one team is better based on their competition, makes those people look like casual fans of college football. Will FSU lose in the playoffs, maybe? Will they get destroyed? maybe, I mean they just beat the #14 team in the nation with their 3rd string QB, that says something. I bet any other team in the top 10 using their 3rd string QB doesn't have the defense to hold up like that. FSU is deserving of a shot and as a fan that's all you can ask for. I ask others, if your team was undefeated would you want a 1 or 2 loss team to jump them and get in the playoffs while you stood by crying? No you wouldn't.

This is why we need the 12 team format. Just fast track it for this year. No matter how you slice the top 4, somebody deserving is going to be left out. You can make a case for 6 or 7 teams being in the top 4. And you can make each case pretty convincingly

Husky fan here. The Florida State defense is stout. That’s what allowed them to win this game. By finishing undefeated, they deserve a spot in the CFP, but some of the “experts” think that now they’re down to their 3rd string QB, they’ll have an unfair disadvantage. They proved themselves, just like my Huskies did. The three undefeated teams should have the top 3 spots. Here’s my CFP lineup. (1) Michigan with an impressive shutout win in the B1G Championship Game. (2) Washington for beating Oregon a 2nd time this season and finishing undefeated. (3) Florida State in large part because of their defense and finishing undefeated. (4) Texas lucked out with Alabama defeating Georgia and own the tiebreaker over Alabama by beating them in Tuscaloosa earlier this season. Yes, an SEC has been left out of the CFP, and that’ll upset many. This is the reason why the CFP will be expanded to 12 teams next season. It’s not up to me, but that’s my take on it.

[@Jasiel976]

As an Ducks fan, I agree. As much as I wanted the ducks to go to the playoffs, the Huskies AND Florida State proved themselves through all odds. Now go and make our loss to you guys look even better and prove to the world that west coast football is no joke; win the natty Washington

How is losing to Oklahoma better than losing to Texas or Alabama?

And our defense was just as good - that was an “A” game by Louisville’s defense. 2 - 15 yard penalties aided their first Field goal, and the last was just a give away. Statistically we was just as good - our 6th year QB, played horribly and I seen mutiple plays that should’ve been bigger plays - falling down after being wild open by the fullback, Thrash a crossed the middle with more space to gain falls without contact, Jordan running out of bounds when there’s clearly more space to go up field instead of just stepping out bounds. I give credit to FSU’s defense - what disappoints me is our effort was below what it takes to tough out the biggest game of the year by leaving it on the field for a Championship. Meaning get every yard possible with urgency - I didn’t see this observing every play in the stadium. We needed 60 minutes of leaving it on the field -

I was at the ACC Championship, first row behind FSU's bench. It was a the middle chapter of a storybook tale of grit, determination, and a whole team showing that when you tie both hand behind you back, they were going to find a way to be dominate in other ways. The brotherhood and the grit... manufacturing everything needed to earn a double-digit win. I love it for these men and they should hold their heads high as THE MOST COMPLETE TEAM by far over the 2023 Season! Go Noles!

[@sourcingsailor4987]

Remember when FSU loss to Jacksonville State and 100% of these so-called "college football experts/analysts" were trashing FSU? Well tonight is the epitome of what happens when you stay focused, keep your eye on the prize, block out the noise and do what you are suppose to do! Go Seminoles!

Except FSU is complete trash without their starting QB. I've said from the beginning that without Travis, FSU is just as mediocre as every team in the ACC. Whoever plays FSU gets a frist round bye practically.

[@sourcingsailor4987]

@@hector8491 Ladies and gentlemen, Pray for these FSU Haters for they know not who they are and how bad of a light they place themselves in! First of all, FSU is 5-1 vs the SEC over the last three years! Plus, the ACC desroyed the SEC head-to-head this year! Finally, kid, as you are a child beneath me, you claim whomever plays FSU gets a 1st Round Bye? Kid, this defense is a Top 5 defense and trust me, Michigan, Washington and Texas would prefer to not play FSU! Plus, when Tate Rodemaker gets a full month of practice with the starters ,like Johnny Wilson, Keon Coleman, Trey Benson and more, you will see an improved FSU offense.

[@tonyOn1ce]

FSU went from scoring 40 plus to scoring just over 20 a game. It's a bigger difference unfortunately. Plus Michigan played their biggest rival and looked good doing it without their head coach. No disrespect to FSU. It's just different.

[@siemvandersluijs6186]

Michigan played two top 10 teams of which both are ranked top 5 in defense. FSU played an awful Louisville team that just lost to a middle-of-the-road one dimensional (run only) Kentucky that had two losses on the season already. Both Penn State and Ohio State had 0 losses at that point and are by far better than Louisville. So please stop this nonsense. FSU is undefeated but definitely not one of the top 4 teams in the nation if we are being honest.

True, but they also almost lost against unranked Auburn last week! That they should have blown out!! The Iron Bowl is always a good watch, but Auburn isn't that great this year. So why was Alabama struggling like that? Bulldogs only lost because of the missed field goal, or the game would have gone into OT and possibly the other way. Georgia didn't play Texas. Bama did and lost that head to head by double digits. Georgia lost to Bama by 3 points. Texas lost to Oklahoma by 4 points, so they clearly barely got beat. Loss is still loss regardless, but Bama didn't beat Georgia as bad as Texas Beat them!! Texas has a stronger loss. In my opinion, it should be Texas over Bama. The committee should reward the Long Horns for being the only ones who beat Bama by double digits!! So doesn't that deserve recognition because Georgia couldn't even beat Bama by double digits.

By their own standards, the CFP committee basically has to put FSU in. Keep in mind they will have a month to gate Tate healthy and up to speed, so the offense will be better. (harder to get much worse than tonight but yeah). Though in reality this FSU team as it stands right now would probably lose handily to several teams. Do we really want another Cincinnati or Michigan state situation? If it's the current "Best" 4 teams it almost has to be Texas, Washington, Michigan and Bama, by virtue of head to head against UGA.
