Run a bunch of prevent, maybe throw some triple-option and every trick-play in the book in there, just have fun and a "who cares" attitude. I don't think this has ever been done and it would make a statement in many different ways......and those young men would remember it the rest of their lives. 3) Troll like a pro. Take every chance, while acting with class and an attitude that we won't be conquered, to point out how ridiculous and flawed the whole system has become. Refuse to do any interviews with certain media outlets. Talk about looking to go independent or at least leave the ACC (even it it isn't going to happen). Have a huge "National Champions 2023" hung at Doak. 4) Rise above it. Don't complain, don't whine, just recruit like heck as we are the state champs and work hard to be the best we can be. I'm proud of this team and have had fun watching them win again. Congratulations on a great year. Undefeated again, and unconquered.

I'll never be quite as passionate and hyped for the games and seasons like I used to be. I'm DONE investing countless hours of my time following and studying the sport, watching all the games, etc. The CFB experience for me as a fan has been altered forever and nothing can change that.

They need to meet with every team in the ACC and see if they are willing to go the distance against the CFP (and ESPN) and file an injunction against both parties. If not, then go alone and fight the CFP in court and try to stop the playoffs until a decision makes sense. If a NFL team won their decision but lost the quarterback and the commissioner decided that for the sake of the playoffs that team lost its quarterback and wasn’t the same team so they shouldn’t get to play in the playoffs.

I'm a lifelong Penn State fan. We got insanely screwed in 1969 and especially in 1994. But I think this is unquestionably the darkest and sorriest screw job of all. I think you would have beaten Michigan too.

[@sarahmccoy1941]

In 1969, number-one ranked Texas beat number-two ranked Arkansas. The Horns then defeated Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl. That is why they won the national title. Penn State chose to play in the Orange Bowl and they beat a much-lesser Missouri team. I can’t address your 1994 Penn State grievance. I feel that one of the darkest days in NCAA college football was the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State, but that is my opinion. Penn State should have gotten the death penalty from the NCAA. SMU got the penalty for pay for play back in the day. FYI - Michigan beat Penn State this season, 24-15, this season. I don’t know how much of that was on Michigan super scout Connor Stalions, but the Wolverines beat the Nittany Lions nonetheless. But there is no way that a Jordan Travis-less FSU team beats Michigan in the CFP.

[@aaronrider4051]

So much wrong, so little time@@sarahmccoy1941

[@aaronrider4051]

First, Penn State chose to play in the Orange Bowl for 2 reasons: 1) Dallas, in the 1960s, was a racist mob town where Presidents got killed, most local authorities were corrupt, and blacks got treated like crap, so the black PSU players, who enjoyed Miami the year before, didn't want to go. 2) When it was time to choose a bowl, #1 Ohio State had not yet lost to Michigan, in a stunning upset, so Penn State figured there was no point in going to undesirable Dallas because no one in America, except maybe Bo Schembechler, thought Ohio State would lose.@@sarahmccoy1941

[@aaronrider4051]

Secondly, you may rashly feel Penn State deserved the death penalty, but the court system disagreed quite strongly as it threw out the NCAA's illegal sanctions and restored everything to Penn State. As for Sandusky himself, I'd recommend the book 'The Most Hated Man in America' but I'm guessing you're too closed-minded.@@sarahmccoy1941

[@aaronrider4051]

Third, "there is no way that a Jordan Travis-less FSU teams Michigan in the CFP." Thank you for your opinion, it's too bad that OPINIONS aren't supposed to decide who gets to play whom. AND your opinion is silly anyway, because Michigan has struggled against every team with a pulse it's played this year.@@sarahmccoy1941

Love what you guys are saying and want to expand on it. Would Georgia not be favored over a team like Texas, or even Washington? What about a team like Ohio State? Would Vegas not say they are favored against Texas? My point being if the committee is trying to make the argument “we want the best 4 teams in football” where are Ohio State and Georgia? Clearly that is not the case. So, if that isn’t the criteria it must be resume. But based off todays result clearly resume does not matter either. This leaves only one conclusion, and that is… 🤑 pocket books 🤑

Before the committee picked “their teams”, Nick Saban, who assumed they weren’t getting in said, “Well, I guess we should just not schedule tuff non conference games anymore”. FSU scheduled 2 SEC non conference games, and won every game they played. Nuff said! I really hope FSU’s players will make a public announcement that they will not play in this rigged and meaningless CONSOLATION game. WHY should they? Regardless if you like the Noles or not ALL ACC players, coaches, and fans should boycott watching the playoffs, because the committee just gave all of you the middle finger.

[@sarahmccoy1941]

The Orange Bowl is one of the best bowl games out there. The folks there always put on a great football celebration. Should Florida State choose not to play it, it would only look bad for the school. Better to play and to try to prove that you can beat a SEC team without the services of Jordan Travis.
