Yes, Florida State got embarrassed by Georgia They were overwhelmed before the game started because of opt outs. Many in here are dogging the players for opting out but can you blame them? They did everything they had to do-go undefeated, win their power 5 conference and then see themselves get screwed over in favor of 2 teams that had a loss. No one can be sure that they wo with uld not have been competitive in the final 4 with all their players and their 2nd string QB with almost a month to prepare and run the offense in practice. As an undefeated team they were denied a chance to compete for a NC-even without Travis. We all know King Saban was on the phone lobbying his connections to influence the committee to pick Bama. King Saban gets his way and the team that rightfully earned a spot got screwed. It's safe to say missing Travis would have had some impact bit I'm certain the total team with Rodebush would have been a lot better than what they had on the field yesterday!

What a horrible take. Things don't go your way so you quit?

Yes I can blame them. Disappointments happen in life. A lot of set backs that are far more tragic than missing out on the college football playoffs. It was a shot to the nuts when they got snubbed but man up and go play the game. You're not doing these kids any favors by teaching them to quit. Most of them will not play in the NFL, and even those that do will have to enter the workplace after they leave. You're setting them up for failure with this mindset. Young people are soft these days.

I mean I’m going to watch my team regardless who’s playing if they are in a bowl game. I will however probably not entertain actually attending said bowl game unless it’s local enough or a playoff game next year. Like, sure we were missing a lot of guys, but I knew every one of our players names on the field, and was excited to see them play. I think anyone in a NY6 bowl should probably not try to opt out tho.
And don’t get me started on people excusing “injured” players. If said injured player was healthy enough to play through it if it were a playoff game but not a bowl, they are technically an opt out.

No one is teaching anything. They are not quitters-but they are pissed off players who know they were screwed. What other sport does that? Not baseball, basketball-simple-you win all your games-you will have a chance to compete for the big Kahuna. Yes TCU got blown out-too bad for them but Florida State is not TCU. Subjectivity played a part in the rankings each week but guess what-when it was all said and done-you had 3 undefeated teams form power 5 conferences so it was simple-they deserved the spots BEFORE any one loss team period. The subjectivity should have been involved choosing the 4th team between Texas and Alabama. True, Texas beat Bama, but the committee used the ole "Bama is a much different team than the one Texas beat" in choosing them along with all the other variables. I am not a Florida State fan and I do like Alabama but no matter how you look at it-Florida State got screwed!

When have we seen a career ending injury in the bowl games? I can’t remember a game other when I was a kid watching Monday Night Football and seeing Joe Thiesman getting destroyed have I seen a true career ending injury. Well Tyrone Prothro but is the only career ending injury I can think of in college but that happened in season. I think this sitting out a bowl game is a straw man argument because true career ending injuries are few and far between. As medicine advance so does this argument because it’s because it’s kinda dumb. It’s a setback yes if you get hurt in a bowl game. If Tua can still get drafted in the top 5 of the draft after his hip then it’s hard to argue sitting out a bowl game to be honest.

I don’t know about draft eligible guys, but we’ve had plenty of guys get hurt during bowl games. Hell, we lost Henderson on a brutal arm break first play.

Is a title in college worth a career ending injury? If players are willing to put it on the line in college for a title then why not play for school pride outside of the playoffs? It is possible for a player to end his career in a college playoff game. That’s a fact. Is that ring worth millions? If it is then anything else can be worth millions. Maybe I’m just older and look at things from a different angle but nothing is worth millions. If everyone is being honest they would agree. Why should your teammates and school matter then? Suit up and play. If a ring makes a difference the a player’s teammates and school should!!

It’s bizarre other teams seem to be melting about the playoffs more than Georgia.
They obviously should’ve been in and just lost at the worst time. Weird all the other teams melting

Why didn’t Georgia quit? They were just as disappointed as fsu. Georgia is clearly one of the best four teams and they went out and showed everyone that fact by kicking the shite out of fsu.
On the other hand, fsu quit on each other like bitches and proved the committee right. They don’t belong.

Both teams had an opportunity to make a case for themselves as to why they should have been included in the championship playoff. One team embraced the opportunity. The other team took their ball and went home.
