As a die hard FSU fan and alum, this is exactly what we deserve. The way we acted after the snub was embarrassing. Don't get me wrong, college football is broken and I think Kirby Smart articulated it perfectly after the game. I believe in Coach Norvell and what we're doing going forward. Georgia chose to make a statement and they did. I hope we learn from this. I feel so bad for these players. Georgia and Kirby Smart showed why they're Georgia. Much respect to the Dawgs. Go Noles.
As A UGA Alumni, I respect your opinion. The game did get out of hand. I asked a friend, Fraternity brother, roommate in college. He writes for UGA. He said it looked like TCU players dressed as FSU players this year! Yall had a great season!
@@MrsDyer1206He said he felt bad for the guys that played, not the quitters, and I feel terrible for them as well. They showed up and competed till the clock said 00:00 and I tip my hat to them. Kirby is right...something needs to be done. The difference in culture tween the two is deep and apparent to all. We could have laid down but decided to show up n make a statement. I just wish the game was more competitive but a win is a win and teams are going to know we mean business in the post season. Those guys love ea other and the coaches and love to compete and fight together, which is what football is about #DecadeOfTheDawg
@@PastorOfMuppets74it's not a culture thing at FSU. I see both sides. I'm a Longhorn fan and we didn't deserve to be there. The fact that 2 teams who lost jumped an undefeated team is wrong. FSU deserved that 3rd spot. That 4th spot was up for debate but FSU deserved #3. Tell me, why should they play a game that doesn't matter? Tell me, why does Michigan and Washington deserve to be there? They have the same record as FSU. So why was only FSU snubbed? FSU beat LSU, Clemson, Florida, and Louisville who are all great teams.
@@pimmyflores8739 I disagree completely but that's cool. The only team that you mentioned that was good was LSU, not sayin the other teams couldn't have won. I understand FSU's position. I'm on their side in that conversation. They SHOULD have been in the playoffs. But they weren't. I could complain about UGA, but I definitely understand why we were left out. To me it comes down to this...and anybody who's played football at a higher level should know...that's not a "meaningless game". That's just something the media keeps throwing out. That was the Orange Bowl. But bk to my point, to compete with the guys who have sacrificed all year, are injured, seniors that will never play again, etc etc...you don't abandom them. You should be chomping at the bit to get to help your teammates and compete as a team, as a brotherhood again. No games are "meaningless" in that regard. I said a culture issue bc clearly FSU whined and complained and there were talks about boycotting by the Uni n the team took a victim hood mentality. I understand being upset about it but you pull together and try to compete. You should want to compete. I could say a lot more but I've already written a book. That's my opinion. It's just an opinion, but that's football to me. If someone disagrees, fine. No problem with that. Take care. BTW that was a great comeback. Y'all almost pulled it off. Great game. The Natty should be interesting
I'm disgusted by the 20 players for FSU who sat out this game. This was supposed to be a statement game for why they belonged in the playoffs, and they left their team hanging out to dry.
That was the problem, FSU administrators and team coaches knew that they were no going to make no statement against Georgia, that is why they encourage players to sat out.
This game showed who the men were, and the cry babies. Georgia sucked it up and went out to play. FSU? Naw, sit and cry and still think you shoulda been in final four. Looks like the BCS got it right.
Here's a list of Georgia players out for the game. FSU could have brought the Florida National Guard and still lost. Injured players: Brock Bowers Amarius Mims Smael Mondon Julian Humphery Damon Wilson RARA Thomas Branson Robinson Transfer Portal players: Darris Smith Jonathan Jefferson Brock Vandagriff CJ Madden Jackson Meeks Austin Blaske EJ Lightsey Mekhi Mews Nyland Green Xavian Sorey Jamier Moten Zeed Haynes Aliou Bah Logan Johnson Marvin Jones Jr. AJ Harris Jamon Dumas-Johnson Daniel Harris De'Nylon Morrissette Josh Miller
I’m already tired of hearing ppl say we as Georgia fans can’t flex this win! If fsu would have won or the score been closer to like 30-17 they would be bragging about how they showed out with their B team. Idc who you do or don’t have if you beat a team by 60 that’s something to brag about. This also says a lot about Mike and the culture he’s created for the fsu program or lack there of! Georgia played a great game and I was happy to see some of the young guys play! It’s got me really excited for next year but I will miss all the guys leaving for the draft like Bowers, Mims, Bullard etc! GO DAWGS!
FSU is classless . All this crying .They feel so entitled. This is still college football . Go compete . You’re playing a great team in UGA . Why not take this opportunity to show you belong . How are they any better than michigan in 2021 or Tennessee both teams having a great offensive year until they ran into UGA . So having success in the regular season against mediocre opponents in a weak conference doesn’t mean you would have been great even at full strength. GA could have made the same excuses.There’s a huge cultural difference in these two teams . FSU keep talking about playing together and being connected but they’re not . Your best players that could play chose not to do so. So they wasn’t as connected and bought in as he says .
FSU fans haven't learned their lesson and reality hasn't hit them yet neither on how much damage has been done to their program with this kind of loss to Georgia. How you going to be FSU on the recruiting trail after this beating.
By the opt out, lack of depth, lack of wanting to actually compete can affect the ability to recruit in the future. I wouldn’t wanna go to FSU after them allowing a team to embarrass them. The difference between teams like Georgia and Florida state is one team is a dynasty and the other is just sore losers. Even though Bama lost 2 games last year and didn’t make the playoffs, none of their players opted out and were able to come out on top against Kansas state. FSU won’t have an undefeated team next season
What is funny FSU was rated #5 in the nation and Georgia #6. Georgia was the underdawg according to ranking. If anyone has a beef with the CFB it should be Georgia.
imagine being the coach of either of these teams. phenomenal opportunity to be playing in a major bowl on national tv; for some players it's their last time putting on their jerseys. you could give your team the message of 'finish the job and season off on a strong note' or 'we didn't make the playoffs, let's be babies and quit when we don't get our way'. one coach chose the former route and the other chose the latter. shows you who inculcates the right mindset & character in their players and whose program is a winning one (winning measured not just in wins) from a non-sec fan - well done, coach smart and the dawgs. happy New Year folks
If you think Coach Norvell wanted all those players to opt out and for the game to have gone this way you are very mistaken. He didn’t choose this, he was dealt this by powers beyond his control. Powers with deep pockets who don’t give a **** about college football despite running the show, which is all it has become. College football has become a reality tv show.
@@lucasparham5068 he was dealt the result of playing in the orange bowl, a major, nationally televised game against the 2-time defending champs. how he (and his team) chose to respond is what i'm talking about. and he chose to allow people to quit on their teammates, staff and university. as for your point about what CFB has become, completely agree. NIL, the transfer portal and the playoffs have really taken much away from the game
Hey coach, how about mentioning “Georgia is very talented and played a great game tonight. Hats off the them.” You had a bunch of kids who quit on their team. Period, end of story!
"Coach, your program spent a month disrespecting Georgia, thinking that having to play Georgia was an insult to your team. How did that work out for you?"
You can hate the players who opted out (or if you are smart, hate this dumb system that incentivizes that) but I don’t see how you can trash Norvell for that. Be proud of your coach, rightly so. He’s earned it. But Norvell is not to blame for what happened, despite the fact he took responsibility for it multiple times in this press conference.
@@lucasparham5068Norvell is the reason fsu is where they are. The players and the fans have taken on his mentality. He plays the victim. Look how Kirby handled the situation and the outcome. Norvell is 100% responsible for getting blown out.
Could you imagine seeing a score like that in one of the playoff games? Everyone in the country knows Georgia is still one of the very top teams in CFB. They were the ones sacrificed to appease the SEC haters.
Bama fan. Obviously, UGA is one of the best teams, if not the best. BUt how could UGA have gotten into this outlier of a year? They couldnt have gotten in over Bama, the Big 12 champion who beat Bama nor the the undefeated Big 10 or Pac12 teams. ANY other year- UGA would be a lock. NOt this year unfortunately, though we all wish otherwise. I would love to see this buzzsaw of a team get in. INjuries affected you as it did us 2 years ago. Its tough, but so be it
@stevesetzer3361 not a Bama fan, Go Gators. Everyone outside of the SEC would hate another Bama vs Georgia for the National Championship but they are the two best teams. Going undefeated in a weak conference means nothing. Nobody hearing Liberty U complaining with their undefeated season because they know.
This game had two teams that believed they should have been in the CFP. Georgia proved that they should have been there. FSU proved that they had no business being there. In the NFL Draft you will see more players from Georgia who played in the game than FSU players who opted out.
The problem is we really have no idea how this game would have played out if FSU was at full strength, even with them %100 with their QB1 too I still think Georgia wins though and I still think Georgia is clearly the best team in college football at this point. Had this been next year then it would not even be a conversation, the real issue here is 4 team CFP, it does not and never has made sense.
Florida State cried all over the place. Georgia is a football team. Florida State will be remembered for this game. Not the little season of the ACC Tonight Georgia didn't cry but played football.
@Neverasheep the comment wasn't referring to georgia doofus. That being said they lost said game by 3 and tonight proved they should have been in and why this playoff is a joke.
I watched the UGA presser and I think I became a fan. That being said, they beat a JV team or something other than a 13-0 Fla. St. team. So no, not much was proven, except maybe the Fla. St. program has no heart, soul or togetherness, like what UGA demonstrated.
@@corvettechris1387 No!!! FSU shouldn't have been in the playoffs. They still would have lost, look at the team and the struggle against Louisville. Are you kidding me?! They choked and the coach didn't good job of holding his team accountable.
Norvell cried and complained so much when being left out his team took on that mentality. Haven’t heard many people say it that way but imo it’s completely true.
College football absolutely deserved that awful game. And there will be many more of them until they fix this sport. Too many people see CFB as a reality tv show, not a sport.
@@dennisroseman1158 Go back and watch yesterday’s games. FSU was as good or better than Bama or Michigan. In fact, FSU’s third string QB put up better numbers against GA than Bamas did against MI, and I thibk you would agree that GA has a better defense than MI and that FSU was missing all its major weapons. Funny, isn’t it?
Like Norvell said its about the response to adversity thats going to show what youre about. Yall showed the world how to quit on your fellow teammates,fan base,city,state,country,world,and university. UGA is built differently. GA got snubbed too. They prepared for the upcoming challenge and handled business HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS 63-3
Why not just admit that your team is not in the same league as teams like Georgia and Alabama? Instead of coming together and proving the selection committee wrong, you proved they were right.😊
I think this loss is going to have a prolonging effect. Sure its just one game but it also shows the mentality and "buy-in" of their football culture, or lack there-of.
Wrong. This is something that will happen to more teams in the bowls outside the playoff games. Did you listen to Coach Smart??? I'm sure you know more than him.
@@rlhaff3560 So why did UGA still treat it as an important game and not FSU? If any team should not have been motivated it would be the snubbed back to back reigning national champs by your standards. Its poor leadership and buy in of their football program.
Look at the politicians of Florida who cried and acted like biitches when FSU didn’t make the CFP. And trickled down to the coach & AD. A pure disgrace and embarrassment
So, are you actually defending the playoff system or did you just wanna make this political for some reason? If the conference schedules don't matter at all, why are those games even tallied? If we have different divisions, but undefeated teams in division, one still get excluded, what's the point? Stfu 🙄
Based on what? Going undefeated is not worthy of a playoff spot. Sorry you don't get how the playoff works. For clarity, I think the committee is garbage.@@JC-xh9mp
@@choff6057 Alabama. Easy. They went undefeated. Alabama didn’t. Texas beat Alabama as a 1 loss conference champ. You can’t make the argument that you’re only putting the best teams in the playoff and leave Georgia out . Either you’re putting the team in that earned it or you’re putting in the best teams . The committee tried to have it both ways and lost any credibility it had left. Florida State did everything that was asked. Personally I think the FSU / Michigan match up would be a closer game than Alabama . I think Alabama wins easy. But I also think Georgia beats any team in the playoff. But Georgia’s not in because they didn’t earn it. Alabama earned a conference championship but FSU did more. It came down to money in the end because the SEC draws more than everybody else. But FSU definitely earned a chance. And the committee is to blame for what happened to FSU yesterday as much as Georgia. Sometimes the best teams don’t win. Everybody in the country knew the National Championship game was the SEC championship game. Everything is just a formality now. But under the committee’s explanation both Georgia and Alabama should be in the playoff. But they contradicted themselves with that one. So they should have done the correct thing and put in FSU , injury depleted roster and all.
So Georgia has a brotherhood too! So which brotherhood is Glenn talking about? The one that quits during hard times or the one that plays for each other? Obviously, we now know which one! After the SEC Championship loss Milton wasted no time announcing he was playing for his brothers!
Obviously, the FSU team that played in this game was a shell of itself and they had ZERO chance to win this game. That said... when you recruit half of your team from the transfer portal how loyal do you expect them to be?
Problem with that is that the portal is our only route to have any success on the field right now. So you either ignore the portal and stay old school and lose lose lose, or embrace the portal, win on the field again and again, but risk these debacles. It’s a shame what has become of this sport.
@@rlhaff3560 well feel free to enlighten me instead of making a pointless comment. I saw two cultures face off in that game. Both thought they deserved to be in the playoff. One went out and played their starters, some who have just as much to lose by getting injured as anyone on Florida state. They played to make to win and make a statement. The other had their feelings hurt and decided to leave their teammates high and dry to get absolutely humiliated, and the coach went along with it. One of those two teams is the best college football program in the country, the other isn’t even on the top tier.
To all the players that played get away from this guy you have heart this guy is a pitty a big pitty yuck you suck and you cried all month instead of bringing your team together and leading them get out of here and it’s so disappointing for them to have a year like they did and end it like that is pitiful pathetic pain I hate it for those young men to be lead by this pitty pusher
IMO, The brotherhood of the DAWGS came together and focused. The remaining players at FS were so disillusioned that they simply focused on remaining as healthy as possible for next season as college players or the pros. Practice for this game with so many starters missing was basically recruit training instead of facing opposing teams the entire season. Those players that chose to stay and play was a testimony to strength of character. Although the apparent reason given to them for the playoffs was the missing quarterback; the actual loss of additional 15 missing players was a contributor.
Which further proves the committee made the right choice with Bama. There is NO WAY Alabama would be so "disillusioned" that they would opt out. This just shows the lack of grit FSU has.
@@andrewb.9815 You nailed it. Alabama was left out last year. Bryce young and Will Anderson played, they were two first round NFL draft picks. I am tired of Alabama being blamed for this. FSU got the beat down they deserved. They had opt outs that were not Championship material, they proved it by not showing up. This absolutely proves FSU's lack of grit.
Even remembering the Alamo sounded more plausible. The guy has no goddamn clue and this is why he'll be hitting the road sooner than later. His players flat out quit.
I feel for the players on FSU in this game, their teammates abandoned them and left them to be slaughtered. Those players that left should be thrown out of football. No NFL team should pick any of them up, let them learn a valuable lesson from this! At least this coach takes some responsibility, however, not enough to keep his job or his reputation.
You honestly think Norvell is on the hot seat after one joke/disaster of a game, after an undefeated season which followed the first ten win season in years after the horror show of the Taggart era? Norvell is sitting on one of the coldest seats in football and this despicable game won’t change that. Now, if next season is a wreck that could change, but I don’t see that happening.
They’ll be known as selfish quitters because of all of the opt outs. Georgia was disrespected as well by the playoff committee, but their players chose to play for each other and not quit on each other. Watch Kirby Smart’s post game conference with Kendall Milton and Kamari Lassiter and you’ll understand the difference between the culture of both programs. The difference is huge.
So you’re telling me the culture is stronger at a back to back national champion program with a history of recent success than at a school going through what FSU has since the end of the Fisher era in 2016? Shocking. I have to guess you don’t follow FSU, which is fine. But let’s just say it is anything but shocking that our culture is behind GA at this point. Props for a great win. Hopefully we will see you in the future under better circumstances.
@@lucasparham5068 well what explanation do you have for most of your starters saying fuck ya'll more or less? I mean UGA was pretty much in the same boat as FSU but they stuck together and played - what did FSU do? Yeah, the culture is MUCH stronger at UGA and that's a fact.
@@Mox3712 Youre arguing with me but saying basically the same thing I said. Although, you are completely wrong that FSU and GA were in the same boat. FSU went the whole season undefeated, GA did not.
Look at all these classy Ga fans 😂. If Ga was left out being conference champions because starting qb was hurt, you all would be hurt also. I don’t blame the players for not playing. I would hate to see them get injured before the combined. Hats off to Ga for playing a really good game. Georgia is the standard for college football.
FSU football is that one kid growing up that if it didn't go his way he is taking his football home. My Bulldogs showed up and showed out. And the players that opted out not to play in the Bowl game for FSU got no back bone. SPINELESS!
Don't follow either team but I do care about the kids and the idea of college football. Sick and tired of sportscasters, coaches and fans saying "they understand why kids do it," "I'd do it myself if I were them," It's all crap!! The TEAM got the players in the position to be drafted, the TEAM gave them the opportunity for NIL $$, the TEAM and SCHOOL except in 1 in a million athletes help carry them to their success. So the fact that a player can't finish, chooses not to finish and leave his brothers on the field to be crushed is 100% the show of their character. Hearing people associated with the sport, coaches, news, players saying the bowl games are a waste is pitiful; these same people use the bowl games as motivation, often (Huskers especially) gauge a winning season and success on getting to one. I hope we can save the game...
While I did joy my dawgs completely thrashing FSU, much respect to the Seminoles, who did go undefeated this season - Unlike some of the teams in the playoff
Clemson fan here. Congratulations to Georgia. I knew there was a huge gap between Georgia and FSU, but this was a whipping. No doubt the team that got the short end of the stick from the committee was Georgia. I said it after the top 4 was selected. I also said FSU shouldn’t have been in the top 4. The game would have been closer, but the outcome would’ve been the same if both teams were at full strength. Not looking forward to the future as college football is broken. I wouldn’t be surprised to see teams make the top 12 have the same thing happen next year. Teams with the FSU culture with a me first attitude are going to put themselves over the team. They have that right. Players like you have, the culture coach Smart has built…it’s very impressive and it’s going to be a challenge to take you guys down.
Adversity, adversity... like FSU is the only program that had things to overcome.... but in this game failed miserably. Norvell is making things worse, and that does not indicate a better future. I think with this conversation, FSU will not be competitive for recruits that can go to a first rate program.
Not once did he congratulate Georgia on the game they played. He’s a sore loser and low class coach. Even the post game handshake shows it. If he thinks Georgia ran up the score, he needs to remember Georgia put in the 2nd team after halftime and they still couldnt stop them. Go Dawgs
Two different programs with two different leaders. Two different philosophies and two different directions. You get what you preach. Norvell preached about being a victim. Then kirby victimized that FSU program. GO DAWGS!!!
What philosophy is that exactly? I keep seeing culture being mentioned everywhere. What kind of culture? Like off field issue culture? Off season culture? That the kinda culture Georgia really wanna mention?
Belief in each other? They literally quit on the guys. You are right, they will be remembered because you set a record for the Biggest lose in Bowl History and was beat by 60 points. Not for the selfish quitters. I have Respect to all the FSU players that held true to each other and your Fans.
So many on here claiming UGA was at full strength because coach Smart said so in the presser. Smart rarely talks about injuries and has a next man up culture. Here is a list of starters for UGA who did not play in the game: Brock Bowers, Amaris Mims, RaRa Thomas, Dhumas Johnson, Smely Mondon, Christian Miller, Julian Humphrey. In addition GA had 18 players enter the portal who did not play.
Yeah! Georgia let up off the gas for sure. And let’s not forget that Georgia had 23 total players out as well including their best player Brock Bowers.
@@Sonnen88 yeah let’s not. FSU simply is not that deep. Depth matters. The 3rd and 4th stringers for GA were all 4-5 stars that could play anywhere in the country. It wasn’t fair FSU had to play GA. GA can beat anyone in the country. Unfortunately Bama had their number a few weeks ago. FSU had to cry to get past Louisville 16-6. To anyone that thinks FSU, with their starters, woulda scored more than 16 on GA is absolutely delusional. They only scored 16 on a mediocre Louisville team! I’m an ACC guy raised in the panhandle too, but let’s not get too crazy. Not sure FSU coulda beat GA with Charlie Ward! Lmfao. To be fair, Georgia was the defending 2 time champion and could possibly win it all if they were in the final 4. Crazy part is that Georgia also had 23 players out including their best player Brock Bowers. Kirby Smart was even being nice by calling all running plays for a bit and even threw in a few of the walk ons and 4th stringers. FSU, or any team in the ACC just don’t have that kind of firepower; depth
So instead of try to prove the case that they were "snubbed" they decided to opt out. Goes to show the amount of grit the program has. Guaranteed if FSU was chosen over Bama, Bama would have shown up. FSU simply isn't National Championship material, time to stop pretending. Real champions don't mope and feel sorry for themselves.
I hate that there were so many FSU players that quit on there team. Opt outs are a huge problem and not something players would have done 10 or 15 years ago. If I was an NFL scout I wouldn’t waste my time on a player that opts out. A competitor will always want to play.
This goes to show you it's all about each person it's sad that they sit out on a bowl game not only FSU but all the teams bowl games today aren't worth watching I used to be a college fan used to be
Zero pride sitting that many out. It was disgraceful. That’s why they got left out, it was a charachter issue with that program…can’t. E proud of mailing it in and not compete. They had a chance to prove they really deserved to be in and they showed us their true character players and coaches. I’d be ashamed as an FSU fan…
When the NFL draft arrives,I’d be very wary of drafting an FSU player.If they quit on a coach and their university then what makes you think they won’t quit on you. Bo Schembechler: The team, the team,the team.
UGA is obviously a far better team than FSU. EVERYONE knows this. Yet FSU keeps crying about not getting what they “deserve”. UGA hasn’t been crying about anything. UGA manned up. The CFP is for the 4 BEST teams, not the 4 most “deserving” teams. No team is entitled to anything. Coach Norvell keeps sending the wrong message. I’m not sure why this mediocre team feels so entitled. ACC was incredibly weak this season.
Amateur sports used to be about the team. Then the money came…and corrupted everything. Now the individual is what it’s about. Me, my, mine. Scandals will follow, institutions will be embarrassed, and it all ends up a mess. Follow the $$$. Loyalty is tossed aside for “what’s best for me?” And we wonder how did we get here? 🤦♂️
Weak, IMO. Just weak coaching, team culture, and excuses. I'm so grateful for Kirby, our players and coaches and the culture we are building. GO DAWGS!
Has to start with the head coach. He must create a team built on "team" accomplishment. All FSU did was to reenforce everyone's belief this squad only supported the me,me,me attitude! I feel sorry for the players who depended on fellow athletes who showed their true colors at the most inopportune time. Didn't hear Kirby or his team whine about being left out, they just came to play!
How do you explain Louisville getting stomped by USC's bench, and FSU starters didn't do that. FSU was ranked where the committee got it right this time. They are not at that tier yet; depth was an issue, and Georgia's 2nd string and walk-on QB outscored them by 21 points.
Nah. Georgia will remember the 63-3 win, but the rest of the nation will remember the controversy of leaving a 13-0 P4 conference champion out of the playoffs, and how that contributed to the end of the ACC altogether. College football is in shambles right now. Your coach is right that it needs to be fixed.
The Nation will remember players quit. Doing this erased the season. They will be remembered as losers. Yes college football is just semi pro teams who happen to play at colleges. No one will fix. Lots of money. It could be fixed with few changes. How? Attach scholarships to graduation rates. If the college graduates 70% of students then football team must average 70% graduation rate also. If they do not, they lose scholarships based on how far below. This means coaches must recruit student athletes. Players must also sign contracts. Either yearly in that they play “all” games in a season. Bowls also. Or that they sign to a 4 year contract and must graduate within 5 years.
Been a SEMINOLES fan for as long as I can remember. This was embarrassing. All props to the Georgia Bulldogs, they were ready to play and to make a statement. Personally, I dont understand how they were left out of the playoffs??? Yes, I know what happened with them losing to Bama in the SEC title game, but Georgia is one of the best 2 teams in the country. Georgia rolls Michigan, Washington, and Texas, just my opinion. To the kids who showed up for FSU, hold your head up, you at least showed up for the game, unlike a few others who opted out. I wont give names, but you know who they were. This will seriously hurt recruiting!!! NOLES fan till I die. Hey, at least we beat our 3 rivals this year so thats always nice. Yes, talking about you Florida, Miami, and Clemson. Always nice making sure Florida stays home for bowl season. I dont know where FSU goes from here, but its obvious that were a second tier team with what happened against Georgia. Hopefully, they get it right next year, and try to make a run. Go SEMINOLES!!!!
Coach, watch the Georgia post game press conference. Try to understand that culture is the most important differentiator at the elite level. Georgia held together strong because the players played for each other. They didn’t opt out, they didn’t whine, they didn’t litigate. They went out and played their best game of the season.

That was the Orange Bowl. But bk to my point, to compete with the guys who have sacrificed all year, are injured, seniors that will never play again, etc etc...you don't abandom them. You should be chomping at the bit to get to help your teammates and compete as a team, as a brotherhood again. No games are "meaningless" in that regard. I said a culture issue bc clearly FSU whined and complained and there were talks about boycotting by the Uni n the team took a victim hood mentality. I understand being upset about it but you pull together and try to compete. You should want to compete. I could say a lot more but I've already written a book. That's my opinion. It's just an opinion, but that's football to me. If someone disagrees, fine. No problem with that. Take care. BTW that was a great comeback. Y'all almost pulled it off. Great game. The Natty should be interesting
Respectfully speaking, the score wouldnt have been much different if they had all starters and Jordan Travis..........@@pimmyflores8739
I'm disgusted by the 20 players for FSU who sat out this game. This was supposed to be a statement game for why they belonged in the playoffs, and they left their team hanging out to dry.
That was the problem, FSU administrators and team coaches knew that they were no going to make no statement against Georgia, that is why they encourage players to sat out.
@@carmeloerodriguez7570 thats feeble as fuck. You think Alabama would do something like that?
This game showed who the men were, and the cry babies. Georgia sucked it up and went out to play. FSU? Naw, sit and cry and still think you shoulda been in final four. Looks like the BCS got it right.

This is what happens when you hire mercenaries to play for your football team.
"It was hard to practice." Something you'll never hear come out of Kirby's mouth. What a loser example
That ENTIRE program was a total sham and poor excuse of a football team and leaders. Abysmal is the only word that comes to mind.
Nuff said.
@@shanewoods1980entire program? Did they have any off field issues? Any off season issues?
I’m already tired of hearing ppl say we as Georgia fans can’t flex this win! If fsu would have won or the score been closer to like 30-17 they would be bragging about how they showed out with their B team. Idc who you do or don’t have if you beat a team by 60 that’s something to brag about. This also says a lot about Mike and the culture he’s created for the fsu program or lack there of! Georgia played a great game and I was happy to see some of the young guys play! It’s got me really excited for next year but I will miss all the guys leaving for the draft like Bowers, Mims, Bullard etc! GO DAWGS!
Thats complete horseshit, you can 1000% flex a win over a group of guys who left their brothers on that field to get demolished
Who is Mike Norwell? Georgia slapped FSU so hard Mike's V now looks like a W.
😂😂😂
FSU is classless . All this crying .They feel so entitled. This is still college football . Go compete . You’re playing a great team in UGA . Why not take this opportunity to show you belong . How are they any better than michigan in 2021 or Tennessee both teams having a great offensive year until they ran into UGA . So having success in the regular season against mediocre opponents in a weak conference doesn’t mean you would have been great even at full strength. GA could have made the same excuses.There’s a huge cultural difference in these two teams . FSU keep talking about playing together and being connected but they’re not . Your best players that could play chose not to do so. So they wasn’t as connected and bought in as he says .
FSU fans haven't learned their lesson and reality hasn't hit them yet neither on how much damage has been done to their program with this kind of loss to Georgia. How you going to be FSU on the recruiting trail after this beating.
By the opt out, lack of depth, lack of wanting to actually compete can affect the ability to recruit in the future. I wouldn’t wanna go to FSU after them allowing a team to embarrass them. The difference between teams like Georgia and Florida state is one team is a dynasty and the other is just sore losers. Even though Bama lost 2 games last year and didn’t make the playoffs, none of their players opted out and were able to come out on top against Kansas state. FSU won’t have an undefeated team next season
What is funny FSU was rated #5 in the nation and Georgia #6. Georgia was the underdawg according to ranking. If anyone has a beef with the CFB it should be Georgia.
@@MrJking065perfect comment. If anything, Georgia was the team that shoulda felt disrespected!
“Feel so entitled.” Yes, we feel entitled to making it into the playoffs after an undefeated season in a P4 conference.
I hope every one of the FSU players that Opt’d out go undrafted.
Kirby smart has built a program that players buy in to. It's a beautiful thing to see in this day and age of team sports.
imagine being the coach of either of these teams. phenomenal opportunity to be playing in a major bowl on national tv; for some players it's their last time putting on their jerseys. you could give your team the message of 'finish the job and season off on a strong note' or 'we didn't make the playoffs, let's be babies and quit when we don't get our way'. one coach chose the former route and the other chose the latter. shows you who inculcates the right mindset & character in their players and whose program is a winning one (winning measured not just in wins)
from a non-sec fan - well done, coach smart and the dawgs. happy New Year folks
If you think Coach Norvell wanted all those players to opt out and for the game to have gone this way you are very mistaken. He didn’t choose this, he was dealt this by powers beyond his control. Powers with deep pockets who don’t give a **** about college football despite running the show, which is all it has become. College football has become a reality tv show.
@@lucasparham5068 he was dealt the result of playing in the orange bowl, a major, nationally televised game against the 2-time defending champs. how he (and his team) chose to respond is what i'm talking about. and he chose to allow people to quit on their teammates, staff and university.
as for your point about what CFB has become, completely agree. NIL, the transfer portal and the playoffs have really taken much away from the game
Hey coach, how about mentioning “Georgia is very talented and played a great game tonight. Hats off the them.” You had a bunch of kids who quit on their team. Period, end of story!
Amen to that… it was pathetic he didn’t reference Georgia at all.
"Coach, your program spent a month disrespecting Georgia, thinking that having to play Georgia was an insult to your team. How did that work out for you?"
"Not so good."

Who TF is UGA..
@@marcuslewis7139 Your Diddy
Congrats UGA fans you beat a Florida State team without 14 of their starters.
“They chose to come out here to compete” 😂 what game was he watching
Probably referencing the few players left that could have opted out, but chose to play the game.
As a Georgia fan this makes me SO incredibly grateful to have Kirby as our coach instead of this guy. Yuck
Even Alabama said Georgia is one of the best four,
You can hate the players who opted out (or if you are smart, hate this dumb system that incentivizes that) but I don’t see how you can trash Norvell for that. Be proud of your coach, rightly so. He’s earned it. But Norvell is not to blame for what happened, despite the fact he took responsibility for it multiple times in this press conference.
Smart was able to craft a team that wanted to play no matter what. Norvell did not.
@@lucasparham5068Norvell is the reason fsu is where they are. The players and the fans have taken on his mentality. He plays the victim. Look how Kirby handled the situation and the outcome. Norvell is 100% responsible for getting blown out.
@@dennisroseman1158 Norvell is the reason FSU went 13-0 you mean?
So you spent a month crying instead of practicing for UGA
Could you imagine seeing a score like that in one of the playoff games? Everyone in the country knows Georgia is still one of the very top teams in CFB. They were the ones sacrificed to appease the SEC haters.
Bama fan. Obviously, UGA is one of the best teams, if not the best. BUt how could UGA have gotten into this outlier of a year? They couldnt have gotten in over Bama, the Big 12 champion who beat Bama nor the the undefeated Big 10 or Pac12 teams. ANY other year- UGA would be a lock. NOt this year unfortunately, though we all wish otherwise. I would love to see this buzzsaw of a team get in. INjuries affected you as it did us 2 years ago. Its tough, but so be it
@stevesetzer3361 not a Bama fan, Go Gators. Everyone outside of the SEC would hate another Bama vs Georgia for the National Championship but they are the two best teams. Going undefeated in a weak conference means nothing. Nobody hearing Liberty U complaining with their undefeated season because they know.
@@stevesetzer3361 "Bama is going to do the same thing to the Cheaters.
Amen
This game was a mismatch when scheduled the committee blew this one.i fee we going to see more of the same when Bama wipes the field with Michigan
This game had two teams that believed they should have been in the CFP. Georgia proved that they should have been there. FSU proved that they had no business being there. In the NFL Draft you will see more players from Georgia who played in the game than FSU players who opted out.
Idk about that sir
Ok so if Georgia made it in, do you leave Alabama out or Texas out?
The problem is we really have no idea how this game would have played out if FSU was at full strength, even with them %100 with their QB1 too I still think Georgia wins though and I still think Georgia is clearly the best team in college football at this point. Had this been next year then it would not even be a conversation, the real issue here is 4 team CFP, it does not and never has made sense.
The problem is UGA lost the SEC championship which made them ineligible for a top 4 position.
@@marcuslewis7139 I guarantee more of those Georgia players will go first. You are fool to think otherwise.
Florida State cried all over the place. Georgia is a football team. Florida State will be remembered for this game. Not the little season of the ACC Tonight Georgia didn't cry but played football.
Thank you Georgia!!! RTR!
Dude didn’t give Ga any credit in his opening statement. What a joke. Go Dawgs.
I'm not a Georgia fan but everyone knows Georgia comes to play. FS showed why the SEC is real.
The cool thing about winning is that the only credit you need is on the score board. Enough said, 🎤 drop. Go Dawgs
To anyone that thought the SEC Champion shouldn't be in the playoff, I give you exhibit A.
@Neverasheep the comment wasn't referring to georgia doofus. That being said they lost said game by 3 and tonight proved they should have been in and why this playoff is a joke.
LOL that doesn't prove anything.
I watched the UGA presser and I think I became a fan. That being said, they beat a JV team or something other than a 13-0 Fla. St. team. So no, not much was proven, except maybe the Fla. St. program has no heart, soul or togetherness, like what UGA demonstrated.
@@corvettechris1387
No!!! FSU shouldn't have been in the playoffs. They still would have lost, look at the team and the struggle against Louisville. Are you kidding me?! They choked and the coach didn't good job of holding his team accountable.
@zeerie7521 Then it's not about deserving then it's about the best teams, right?
Norvell cried and complained so much when being left out his team took on that mentality. Haven’t heard many people say it that way but imo it’s completely true.
The history of the Orange Bowl and college football in general didn't deserve what Fla. St. put out there. What a disgrace.
College football absolutely deserved that awful game. And there will be many more of them until they fix this sport. Too many people see CFB as a reality tv show, not a sport.
Would have been better if UGA would've beaten Bama.
@@lucasparham5068fsu wasn’t one of the best 4 teams. The committee 100% made the right decision. They didn’t get left out. They didn’t belong.
@@lucasparham5068 Some people might say that CFB or any competitive sport, is the true reality TV.
@@dennisroseman1158 Go back and watch yesterday’s games. FSU was as good or better than Bama or Michigan. In fact, FSU’s third string QB put up better numbers against GA than Bamas did against MI, and I thibk you would agree that GA has a better defense than MI and that FSU was missing all its major weapons. Funny, isn’t it?
Like Norvell said its about the response to adversity thats going to show what youre about. Yall showed the world how to quit on your fellow teammates,fan base,city,state,country,world,and university. UGA is built differently. GA got snubbed too. They prepared for the upcoming challenge and handled business HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS 63-3
Why not just admit that your team is not in the same league as teams like Georgia and Alabama? Instead of coming together and proving the selection committee wrong, you proved they were right.😊
I think this loss is going to have a prolonging effect. Sure its just one game but it also shows the mentality and "buy-in" of their football culture, or lack there-of.
Wrong. This is something that will happen to more teams in the bowls outside the playoff games. Did you listen to Coach Smart??? I'm sure you know more than him.
@@rlhaff3560 So why did UGA still treat it as an important game and not FSU? If any team should not have been motivated it would be the snubbed back to back reigning national champs by your standards. Its poor leadership and buy in of their football program.
9:55 what game was Mike Norvell attending?
Look at the politicians of Florida who cried and acted like biitches when FSU didn’t make the CFP. And trickled down to the coach & AD. A pure disgrace and embarrassment
FSU should have made the playoff. The decision of the players and the team to approach things after being left out was bad.
So, are you actually defending the playoff system or did you just wanna make this political for some reason?
If the conference schedules don't matter at all, why are those games even tallied?
If we have different divisions, but undefeated teams in division, one still get excluded, what's the point?
Stfu 🙄
Based on what? Going undefeated is not worthy of a playoff spot. Sorry you don't get how the playoff works. For clarity, I think the committee is garbage.@@JC-xh9mp
@@choff6057 Alabama. Easy. They went undefeated. Alabama didn’t. Texas beat Alabama as a 1 loss conference champ. You can’t make the argument that you’re only putting the best teams in the playoff and leave Georgia out . Either you’re putting the team in that earned it or you’re putting in the best teams .
The committee tried to have it both ways and lost any credibility it had left.
Florida State did everything that was asked. Personally I think the FSU / Michigan match up would be a closer game than Alabama . I think Alabama wins easy. But I also think Georgia beats any team in the playoff. But Georgia’s not in because they didn’t earn it. Alabama earned a conference championship but FSU did more. It came down to money in the end because the SEC draws more than everybody else. But FSU definitely earned a chance.
And the committee is to blame for what happened to FSU yesterday as much as Georgia.
Sometimes the best teams don’t win.
Everybody in the country knew the National Championship game was the SEC championship game.
Everything is just a formality now.
But under the committee’s explanation both Georgia and Alabama should be in the playoff.
But they contradicted themselves with that one.
So they should have done the correct thing and put in FSU , injury depleted roster and all.
Longest 17 minutes and 5 seconds in sports this year ...........
So Georgia has a brotherhood too! So which brotherhood is Glenn talking about? The one that quits during hard times or the one that plays for each other? Obviously, we now know which one! After the SEC Championship loss Milton wasted no time announcing he was playing for his brothers!
How is it a brotherhood with all the quiters "opt outs"
Now FSU can give an excuses as to why Georgia beat them so bad.
Obviously, the FSU team that played in this game was a shell of itself and they had ZERO chance to win this game. That said... when you recruit half of your team from the transfer portal how loyal do you expect them to be?
Problem with that is that the portal is our only route to have any success on the field right now. So you either ignore the portal and stay old school and lose lose lose, or embrace the portal, win on the field again and again, but risk these debacles. It’s a shame what has become of this sport.
Coach Prime is building same kind of Team at Colorado! And expects the Alabama Job Next😂😂😂
This what happens when you build in the portal.
“I’m so proud of the boys for quitting so we didn’t get exposed at full strength. These are the ideals we preach at Florida State.”
😂😂😂😂
Amazing how many like you don't know anything about football lol
@@rlhaff3560 well feel free to enlighten me instead of making a pointless comment. I saw two cultures face off in that game. Both thought they deserved to be in the playoff. One went out and played their starters, some who have just as much to lose by getting injured as anyone on Florida state. They played to make to win and make a statement. The other had their feelings hurt and decided to leave their teammates high and dry to get absolutely humiliated, and the coach went along with it. One of those two teams is the best college football program in the country, the other isn’t even on the top tier.
To all the players that played get away from this guy you have heart this guy is a pitty a big pitty yuck you suck and you cried all month instead of bringing your team together and leading them get out of here and it’s so disappointing for them to have a year like they did and end it like that is pitiful pathetic pain I hate it for those young men to be lead by this pitty pusher
True brotherhood by the way. Lost by 60 and 20 players quit at the 11th hour. Brotherhood 😂
IMO, The brotherhood of the DAWGS came together and focused. The remaining players at FS were so disillusioned that they simply focused on remaining as healthy as possible for next season as college players or the pros. Practice for this game with so many starters missing was basically recruit training instead of facing opposing teams the entire season. Those players that chose to stay and play was a testimony to strength of character. Although the apparent reason given to them for the playoffs was the missing quarterback; the actual loss of additional 15 missing players was a contributor.
Which further proves the committee made the right choice with Bama. There is NO WAY Alabama would be so "disillusioned" that they would opt out. This just shows the lack of grit FSU has.
@@andrewb.9815 You nailed it. Alabama was left out last year. Bryce young and Will Anderson played, they were two first round NFL draft picks. I am tired of Alabama being blamed for this. FSU got the beat down they deserved. They had opt outs that were not Championship material, they proved it by not showing up. This absolutely proves FSU's lack of grit.

@@michaelwolf6424 lolol
I feel for the players on FSU in this game, their teammates abandoned them and left them to be slaughtered. Those players that left should be thrown out of football. No NFL team should pick any of them up, let them learn a valuable lesson from this! At least this coach takes some responsibility, however, not enough to keep his job or his reputation.
You honestly think Norvell is on the hot seat after one joke/disaster of a game, after an undefeated season which followed the first ten win season in years after the horror show of the Taggart era? Norvell is sitting on one of the coldest seats in football and this despicable game won’t change that. Now, if next season is a wreck that could change, but I don’t see that happening.
. He has nothing to worry about, They have enough talent to win next year. Mike Norvell is not Willie Taggart.
They’ll be known as selfish quitters because of all of the opt outs. Georgia was disrespected as well by the playoff committee, but their players chose to play for each other and not quit on each other. Watch Kirby Smart’s post game conference with Kendall Milton and Kamari Lassiter and you’ll understand the difference between the culture of both programs. The difference is huge.
So you’re telling me the culture is stronger at a back to back national champion program with a history of recent success than at a school going through what FSU has since the end of the Fisher era in 2016? Shocking. I have to guess you don’t follow FSU, which is fine. But let’s just say it is anything but shocking that our culture is behind GA at this point. Props for a great win. Hopefully we will see you in the future under better circumstances.
Georgia should have beaten Bama.
@@lucasparham5068 well what explanation do you have for most of your starters saying fuck ya'll more or less? I mean UGA was pretty much in the same boat as FSU but they stuck together and played - what did FSU do? Yeah, the culture is MUCH stronger at UGA and that's a fact.
@@CleanMusicLover229 100%
@@Mox3712 Youre arguing with me but saying basically the same thing I said. Although, you are completely wrong that FSU and GA were in the same boat. FSU went the whole season undefeated, GA did not.
Look at all these classy Ga fans 😂. If Ga was left out being conference champions because starting qb was hurt, you all would be hurt also. I don’t blame the players for not playing. I would hate to see them get injured before the combined. Hats off to Ga for playing a really good game. Georgia is the standard for college football.
FSU football is that one kid growing up that if it didn't go his way he is taking his football home. My Bulldogs showed up and showed out. And the players that opted out not to play in the Bowl game for FSU got no back bone. SPINELESS!
So...what year did you play for the bulldogs?...lol i bet you never played
More like take the game ball a boot it over the fence!!!! To signal the game is over!!!!😂
Biggest win in Orange Bowl history! Write that down. SEC
Go Noles. Proud of a great undefeated season. Go noles!
Yep...they went!😛
Players that didn't play let everyone down.
Don't follow either team but I do care about the kids and the idea of college football. Sick and tired of sportscasters, coaches and fans saying "they understand why kids do it," "I'd do it myself if I were them," It's all crap!! The TEAM got the players in the position to be drafted, the TEAM gave them the opportunity for NIL $$, the TEAM and SCHOOL except in 1 in a million athletes help carry them to their success. So the fact that a player can't finish, chooses not to finish and leave his brothers on the field to be crushed is 100% the show of their character. Hearing people associated with the sport, coaches, news, players saying the bowl games are a waste is pitiful; these same people use the bowl games as motivation, often (Huskers especially) gauge a winning season and success on getting to one. I hope we can save the game...
Congratulations FSU....You Played yourself 👍

While I did joy my dawgs completely thrashing FSU, much respect to the Seminoles, who did go undefeated this season - Unlike some of the teams in the playoff

Clemson fan here. Congratulations to Georgia. I knew there was a huge gap between Georgia and FSU, but this was a whipping. No doubt the team that got the short end of the stick from the committee was Georgia. I said it after the top 4 was selected. I also said FSU shouldn’t have been in the top 4. The game would have been closer, but the outcome would’ve been the same if both teams were at full strength. Not looking forward to the future as college football is broken. I wouldn’t be surprised to see teams make the top 12 have the same thing happen next year. Teams with the FSU culture with a me first attitude are going to put themselves over the team. They have that right. Players like you have, the culture coach Smart has built…it’s very impressive and it’s going to be a challenge to take you guys down.
Adversity, adversity... like FSU is the only program that had things to overcome.... but in this game failed miserably. Norvell is making things worse, and that does not indicate a better future. I think with this conversation, FSU will not be competitive for recruits that can go to a first rate program.
Not once did he congratulate Georgia on the game they played. He’s a sore loser and low class coach. Even the post game handshake shows it. If he thinks Georgia ran up the score, he needs to remember Georgia put in the 2nd team after halftime and they still couldnt stop them. Go Dawgs
Two different programs with two different leaders. Two different philosophies and two different directions. You get what you preach. Norvell preached about being a victim. Then kirby victimized that FSU program.
GO DAWGS!!!
What philosophy is that exactly? I keep seeing culture being mentioned everywhere. What kind of culture? Like off field issue culture? Off season culture? That the kinda culture Georgia really wanna mention?
Belief in each other? They literally quit on the guys.
You are right, they will be remembered because you set a record for the Biggest lose in Bowl History and was beat by 60 points. Not for the selfish quitters.
I have Respect to all the FSU players that held true to each other and your Fans.
So many on here claiming UGA was at full strength because coach Smart said so in the presser. Smart rarely talks about injuries and has a next man up culture. Here is a list of starters for UGA who did not play in the game: Brock Bowers, Amaris Mims, RaRa Thomas, Dhumas Johnson, Smely Mondon, Christian Miller, Julian Humphrey. In addition GA had 18 players enter the portal who did not play.
15 starters opt out.. I 'd cancelled the game
There is no lipstick for this and the last 30 days.
What team?
fsu deserves to be labeled the winner of the orange bowl, they should file a lawsuit against georgia for not letting them win
Champions don’t quit. FSU is a pretender.
42 - 3 at the half!!! Not sure I’ve ever seen that type beating in a half. GA was on pace to put 84 on them!!! It’s hard to make excuses after that.
Yeah! Georgia let up off the gas for sure. And let’s not forget that Georgia had 23 total players out as well including their best player Brock Bowers.
Uga had two starters out, let's not get too delusional
@@Sonnen88 yeah let’s not. FSU simply is not that deep. Depth matters. The 3rd and 4th stringers for GA were all 4-5 stars that could play anywhere in the country. It wasn’t fair FSU had to play GA. GA can beat anyone in the country. Unfortunately Bama had their number a few weeks ago. FSU had to cry to get past Louisville 16-6. To anyone that thinks FSU, with their starters, woulda scored more than 16 on GA is absolutely delusional. They only scored 16 on a mediocre Louisville team! I’m an ACC guy raised in the panhandle too, but let’s not get too crazy. Not sure FSU coulda beat GA with Charlie Ward! Lmfao. To be fair, Georgia was the defending 2 time champion and could possibly win it all if they were in the final 4.
Crazy part is that Georgia also had 23 players out including their best player Brock Bowers. Kirby Smart was even being nice by calling all running plays for a bit and even threw in a few of the walk ons and 4th stringers. FSU, or any team in the ACC just don’t have that kind of firepower; depth
So instead of try to prove the case that they were "snubbed" they decided to opt out. Goes to show the amount of grit the program has. Guaranteed if FSU was chosen over Bama, Bama would have shown up. FSU simply isn't National Championship material, time to stop pretending. Real champions don't mope and feel sorry for themselves.
A new Georgia Fan
FSU embarrassed themselves with so many opting to skip the game. CFB needs to do more to ensure players play
I hate that there were so many FSU players that quit on there team. Opt outs are a huge problem and not something players would have done 10 or 15 years ago. If I was an NFL scout I wouldn’t waste my time on a player that opts out. A competitor will always want to play.
And FSU wanted in final 4 come on man That looks like TCU last year
This goes to show you it's all about each person it's sad that they sit out on a bowl game not only FSU but all the teams bowl games today aren't worth watching I used to be a college fan used to be
The excuses are disdisgusting. The broadcasters constantly bringing up fsu roster while uga is pouring it on.
About time for some humble pie. Hope you liked it.
Zero pride sitting that many out. It was disgraceful. That’s why they got left out, it was a charachter issue with that program…can’t. E proud of mailing it in and not compete. They had a chance to prove they really deserved to be in and they showed us their true character players and coaches. I’d be ashamed as an FSU fan…
When the NFL draft arrives,I’d be very wary of drafting an FSU player.If they quit on a coach and their university then what makes you think they won’t quit on you. Bo Schembechler: The team, the team,the team.
Dang u can tell people don’t know football and never played and talk a lot of trash about other teams 😂 I love it
Anyone thinking FSU should have been in the playoff doesn’t know crap about football.
It's simple really. The ACC is and will always be a basketball conference now let the big boys play for their championship .
Hell you didn't show up for the game why show up for the press conference.
'They were a special team'
-Now, when you say, special...
When you say special coach are you referring to The Georgia bulldogs freshman who put up #
UGA is obviously a far better team than FSU. EVERYONE knows this. Yet FSU keeps crying about not getting what they “deserve”. UGA hasn’t been crying about anything. UGA manned up. The CFP is for the 4 BEST teams, not the 4 most “deserving” teams. No team is entitled to anything. Coach Norvell keeps sending the wrong message. I’m not sure why this mediocre team feels so entitled. ACC was incredibly weak this season.
I wouldn't say they came out to compete...
63-3 no excuses
Rumors are, At half time,FLORIDA STATE called their lawyers and told them to drop the lawsuit against the CFP ! Lol 😂
This is exactly why Georgia should have been in the top 4 and FSU should not have been!!
Amateur sports used to be about the team. Then the money came…and corrupted everything. Now the individual is what it’s about. Me, my, mine. Scandals will follow, institutions will be embarrassed, and it all ends up a mess. Follow the $$$. Loyalty is tossed aside for “what’s best for me?” And we wonder how did we get here? 🤦♂️

Weak, IMO. Just weak coaching, team culture, and excuses. I'm so grateful for Kirby, our players and coaches and the culture we are building. GO DAWGS!
Coach should have opted out of the interview. It works for the players!
The race is not always about the swift, but endure to the end.
Has to start with the head coach. He must create a team built on "team" accomplishment. All FSU did was to reenforce everyone's belief this squad only supported the me,me,me attitude! I feel sorry for the players who depended on fellow athletes who showed their true colors at the most inopportune time. Didn't hear Kirby or his team whine about being left out, they just came to play!
How do you explain Louisville getting stomped by USC's bench, and FSU starters didn't do that. FSU was ranked where the committee got it right this time. They are not at that tier yet; depth was an issue, and Georgia's 2nd string and walk-on QB outscored them by 21 points.
This game showed the real deal.
Opinion is Champions Don’t opt out.
“We came and we competed”…. No, unfortunately you didn’t. You would never in your life hear Kirby come out and say they competed.
Actions speak louder than words, this was one of the poor sportsmanship examples!
The classless posts on here are right on point. Sounds like gator fans
No one will remember their season. Just the 63-3 loss to Georgia.
Nah. Georgia will remember the 63-3 win, but the rest of the nation will remember the controversy of leaving a 13-0 P4 conference champion out of the playoffs, and how that contributed to the end of the ACC altogether. College football is in shambles right now. Your coach is right that it needs to be fixed.
The Nation will remember players quit. Doing this erased the season. They will be remembered as losers. Yes college football is just semi pro teams who happen to play at colleges. No one will fix. Lots of money. It could be fixed with few changes. How? Attach scholarships to graduation rates. If the college graduates 70% of students then football team must average 70% graduation rate also. If they do not, they lose scholarships based on how far below. This means coaches must recruit student athletes. Players must also sign contracts. Either yearly in that they play “all” games in a season. Bowls also. Or that they sign to a 4 year contract and must graduate within 5 years.
23 FSU players opted out of playing in the game from what I read. Not even the same team with 2nd and 3rd stringers in there.
UGA has 27 players injured or transfer out but they made no excuses. Bowers, Mims, Thomas, Mondon, Dumas Johnson, to name a few. Not a UGA either
Been a SEMINOLES fan for as long as I can remember. This was embarrassing. All props to the Georgia Bulldogs, they were ready to play and to make a statement. Personally, I dont understand how they were left out of the playoffs??? Yes, I know what happened with them losing to Bama in the SEC title game, but Georgia is one of the best 2 teams in the country. Georgia rolls Michigan, Washington, and Texas, just my opinion. To the kids who showed up for FSU, hold your head up, you at least showed up for the game, unlike a few others who opted out. I wont give names, but you know who they were. This will seriously hurt recruiting!!! NOLES fan till I die. Hey, at least we beat our 3 rivals this year so thats always nice. Yes, talking about you Florida, Miami, and Clemson. Always nice making sure Florida stays home for bowl season. I dont know where FSU goes from here, but its obvious that were a second tier team with what happened against Georgia. Hopefully, they get it right next year, and try to make a run. Go SEMINOLES!!!!
Coach, watch the Georgia post game press conference. Try to understand that culture is the most important differentiator at the elite level. Georgia held together strong because the players played for each other. They didn’t opt out, they didn’t whine, they didn’t litigate. They went out and played their best game of the season.
Your right they will remember this team bad team.
Had Kirby been in Norvell's shoes, the first thing he would've done is congratulate the other team.
