Florida State vs Georgia Tech in Ireland

[gtb1943]

FSU was robbed.
They were undefeated and found a way to win the ACC CG with the 3rd string QB.
They then had 20 players opt out of the bowl game in which they were blasted to smithereens.

Make no mistake this would have never happened had the SEC champion not lost a home non-conf game. But the powers that be couldn't promote Georgia over Bama and wasn't going to present a CFP without an SEC school.
So FSU got jobbed.

With a 3rd string QB were they a top 4 team? Probably not. But if you don't credit an undefeated P4 season than stop even bothering to host games and just name your 8-12 teams and skip the season.
Had that been Bama who was undefeated and down to QB3 they would have been a 1 seed.

The more you devalue what happens on the field, the more of a farce it becomes. I remember way back in 1977 Lou Holtz suspended several key players before the Oklahoma bowl game. Under this scenario so many want, they would have not been chosen for that bowl because of this had the suspensions happened before. Yet Minnesota kicked the crap out of Oklahoma in that game.

fact is FSU ON THE FIELD deserved a slot. Ignoring results on the field is unforgiveable. Look at all the upsets over the years; teams given no chance and winning.

No I'm not buying any of that. Georgia had more projected players in the top 100 then FSU so there was no disadvantage on draft players sitting out. Most of the players that were transferring were players that weren't projected to start next year so they're not even starting regardless.

What preceded the next two games further pushes the narrative that no they weren't a top 4 team. History is not going to gravitate towards that

Not this nonsense again.

FSU did not get robbed.

Without their starting QB…..they were no longer a top 4 team. The playoff committee had to take into account availability of players.
Without FSU’s star QB….they were a pile of crap.

And 63-3 in the last game proved it.

End of story. Move on already.

BS. If you earned it on the field that should count more than anything
Look at all the so called great match ups that turn into dogs of games
it was wrong and it will always be wrong to those that think things should be decided on the field
