With even a close win vs UGA, the Noles could’ve shown they belonged and claimed a title. Hell, some organizations would probably have given them one. Those players knew they couldn’t compete, so they quit.
Players have been opting out for years dude. It is a business decision post-irrelevance. FSU was not given the deserved opportunity to prove anything. Even if they did beat Georgia all they would receive is an "atta boii-our basketball team should be pretty good this year"
Bama faithful continuing to heehaww about these decisions do so only because deep down they know FSU was screwed, and they need more reason to justify the committee's decision.

Relatively few of the guys who opted out are projected to be drafted highly. A lot of them are basically just throwing a hissy fit and/or were just scared to be a part of a beatdown.

Why play at all the whole season? Georgia's Bowers was a 1st round pick all season. He should have sat out all season. What's the difference between all season and one game .
It's stupid to sit out any games, they aren't very good teammates. But it just shows everyone that they only care about one thing only their selves.

They had the chance to beat the 2 time defending champs and show the committee made a mistake. They could have claimed a a title just like UCF did, but with some real recognition as many like yourself thought they were screwed over. It’s so weird that almost everyone who thinks FSU deserved a chance knew that they were not as good and that they would lose. The dislike of Alabama is what drives it. Reeee about it all you want. It just serves to make Bama fans all the more giddy.

No they got it right….almost. Should have put Georgia in over Michigan.

First round types rather than a bakers dozen.
One is not like the other

Should players opt out mid-season when it's clear their team sucks?
Should they opt out with 3 games left when they've been eliminated from conference championship contention?

This is the epitome of what a sense of entitlement means. Players at FSU and similar places are idolized by hundreds of thousands of people who make it possible for them to play the game, in some cases get an education and in others make some serious money now with NIL and showcase their talents for the NFL. If it’s a business decision to treat the customer base in such a manner it’ll will eventually blow up.
I don’t know the names of a single player from FSU who opted out but I remember admiring Will Anderson and Bryce Young DID not in a similar situation. Who has the better brand? If it’s a business decision it’s an ill advised one. You can rest assured its used as leverage in contract negotiations because it raises concerns about character…at least in negotiations
