I believe GA has the attitude that they want to prove they should have been in the CFP, unfortunately they have about zero chance of being named #1 no matter who wins as the victor will either be undefeated or had beat GA. But they can place #2 in the final polls.
I don’t much care for the Florida State Criminoles, but they got screwed................
I’m sure I’m not the first to suggest this, but as long as there are 5 major football conferences, do this:
All five major conference championship game winners qualify. F Notre Dame if they choose to remain independent.
Seed them 1-5.
Seeds 4 and 5 meet in a play-in game, bringing the total down to 4.
Those 4 play in a standard Final Four type format.
Beat Georgia and we’ll see
Georgia will crush FSU.
College FB is the most corrupt sport in America.
Whoever wins the game it won’t reflect the strength of either team.
Georgia will be without around 20 players that were on the roster at the end of the year, 15-20 of those players went into the transfer portal, of the players transferring 5-6 of them were 5-star recruits, Georgia had the #1 recruiting class again this year, however, they lost nearly an entire recruiting class in the transfer portal.
FSU is going to be missing their starting QB, RB, and top 2 pass catchers, plus a couple of their best players on defense, all of these players are either already injured or opting out for the NFL draft.
The winning team will have some bragging rights, the game is basically a glorified scrimmage because of all the players who are out.
First time to see FSU play at The Swamp I was seated in the Semi-hole section. They kept doing a cheer: “F-L-O-R-I-D-A, S-T-A-T-E!! Florida State, Florida State, Florida State!!”
Later learned that was how Bowden figured they could learn ‘em how to spell.
Maybe they’ll get over it when Georgia beats the crap out of them, and I predict they will.
No wait, they’ll blame it on their “teammates” who opted out of playing in the game.
FSU did themselves no favor over the last year, angling to leave the ACC, which wa$n’t good enough and holding them back.
Still butt hurting
I’m hoping they roll Georgia, although I highly doubt it.
FSU should concentrate on beating Georgia. If they win, they can say “told ya we belonged.” If they lose, then they just need to go home and wait till next year, because the committee was right. Of course now that several first string players are bailing out of the Orange Bowl game, I guess they really aren’t all that upset after all.
fsu is going to get smoked by Georgia in the Orange Bowl.
