Florida State forfeited the opportunity to play for a national championship when they scheduled weak OOC opponents. They are already in a weak conference so they need to schedule real opponents out of conference to make up for that and they chose not to. Now they are suffering the consequences of their stupid decision. No one wants to see another blowout like Georgia and TCU.
Scheduling North Alabama is like taking that “Magic, Sorcery, and the Occult” fuckoff class at SWT to boost your GPA.
FSU OOC games - LSU (neutral site), Southern Miss, Florida, and North Alabama.
Alabama OOC games - Middle Tennessee, Texas, South Florida, Chattanooga.
Ya FSU wasn’t playing world beaters in non conference games but let’s not act like they had all cream puffs. Take out LSU and Texas and the non conference slate for both FSU & Alabama wasn’t night and day easier than the other.
