calm down, fsu had a chance to be good sports and been thankful to be in a bowl game period, but what did they do?

Football isn’t a game, it’s a life lesson to teach humility and good sportsmanship, fsu forgot that. Say what u want about bama, but atleast they show up to every game with the same mentality as if its their biggest and best game no matter what stage or who they play

[@ChrisWrightDVM]

​@@atlchopperz1765 CFP committee completely DESTROYED the FSU program (not just the season, the program). Just so they can get their SEC/ESPN/DISNEY/$$$ corruption in play. They had a 13-0 FSU team, ranked #4, and they kept them #4 consecutive weeks EVEN AFTER Jordan Travis injury. Then, FSU wins their conference championship, and OVERNIGHT, 13 morons behind closed doors drop them, and slide Texas and Bama ahead. Texas and Bama both have LOST a game already. They killed an *undefeated* 13-0 power 5 conference champ, to throw in two teams that already showed they can LOSE. All because they couldnt leave out a 1 loss SEC Saban. And guess what, they both got into the playoff, played undefeated teams, and LOST AGAIN. They showed you, both TX and Bama, YET AGAIN, that they can LOSE. Now they LOST TWICE. As where the 13-0 FSU team never showed they could be beaten. Sure, GA stomped FSU ***after*** the CFB committee killed the program, but GA didnt beat THE STARTERS that went the entire season and conf championship 13-0. Statistically speaking, those guys werent there. They beat on mentally broken 2nd and 3rd string freshmen with no reason to play at all. The playoff committee made this happen by showing them on the field play meant nothing!!! Well over half those starters that went 13-0, the MAJORITY OF ALL OF THEM in fact, never even touched the field against GA. The committe did that, not FSU, not the players, THE COMMITTEE. The only people that showed they could beat the 13-0 FSU ***STARTERS***, was the corrupt committee. ESPN/CFP/DISNEY/$$$.... CORRUPTION... SHAME... TRASH... Destroying the sport and on the field play. Im glad Bama and Texas both $h!t the bed immediately. And of course, just like Orgeon/Wash (everyone had Oregon, wrong), everyone had Bama beating Michigan, wrong, and everyone had TX beating Wash... WRONG. Predictions brought to you by all the same people/analysts/experts that HYPOTHETICALLY thought the 13-0 FSU starters shouldnt be playing in the playoffs because they MIGHT lose some future matchup based on their OPINION... so they kept them off the field and taught them theres no reason to play... well guess what... you taught them well... and they didnt show up to your charity bowl.

A professional throughout with class. Still an incredible season. They were supposed to win the Natty, but came up short in the last 5 minutes. They beat Georgia last month, who has not lost a single game since December 4th, 2021 (Insane Stat) They have an excellent foundation for next year. Give Milroe some time to develop during training camp, and they will be back next year.

Shouldn't have been in the game. College football can sleep a little easier knowing ESPN can't buy their favorite teams titles. Just give them the chance to play for it I guess

[@Saidakine]

It has to be awesome playing for Coach Sabin, he is on the Mt Rushmore of greatest Coaches. Every time I hear him speak he makes sense and has great takes. I say this as a rival fan. Michigan has the Best defense and defense wins championships that and controlling the line. The championship is going to be a great game but I have Michigan. I want Washington but I think Blue is going to take them.
