Do what now? 2 P5s and one a perennial power is weak?Florida State forfeited the opportunity to play for a national championship when they scheduled weak OOC opponents.

Boston College is in the ACC. Their other OOC was Florida. So two SEC teams.FSU OOC games - LSU (neutral site), Southern Miss, Boston College, and North Alabama.
Agree that FSU would struggle against any of the CFP teams (& a majority of NY6 teams).Agree. FSU, much like TCU and Max Duggan last year, were mostly a one man show. They would have gotten clobbered in the CFP by any one of those teams who made it in. Even with Jordan Travis, it would have been reminiscent of when FSU played VTech with Michael Vick. An electric player who masked deficiencies in the overall team.
Beat me to it.Funny thing is the Georgia/FSU game is going to be a busy since none of them care. A bunch of players are sitting out and the ones that play will be inexperienced and/or checked out on the year.
When FSU losses everyone will go "See, they didn't deserve a playoff spot"
Well, they kinda didn’t if they decide not to play against what used to be the #1 team in the nation. If you believe you deserved to go, make a case for it on the field.Funny thing is the Georgia/FSU game is going to be a bust since none of them care.

LSU says hold my loss.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.
Nothing to play for. Making the case or not it won't do them any good.Well, they kinda didn’t if they decide not to play against what used to be the #1 team in the nation. If you believe you deserved to go, make a case for it on the field.
Pride. A win. I never once went into any game with the mindset that there was nothing to play for, and I played a shitload of meaningless Sunday Summer League games.Nothing to play for.
If they were playing for a nattie think a majority of them would've stayed?They are going pro. Don't want to get hurt like Jaylon Smith.
I think Georgia should have been in. Can't decide if I would have left out the Horns or Huskies.Georgia is better than UM, UT and UW, by these arguments they should of been in. And don't say they didn't win their conference because the argument is the four best teams.
Of course. I haven't heard any of the final four players opting out.If they were playing for a nattie think a majority of them would've stayed?
Alabama can get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they are NOT in a weak conference. Florida State cannot get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they ARE in a weak conference.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.
Weak conference compared to the SEC... But not a weak conference.Alabama can get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they are NOT in a weak conference. Florida State cannot get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they ARE in a weak conference.
Even Texas State beat Southern Miss 50-36. When you're in a conference with Wake Forest, Virginia, Pitt, and Syracuse, you can't schedule Southern Miss and North Alabama.
Malik Murphy UTs back up that came in when Ewers was injured has entered the portal and opting out.Of course. I haven't heard any of the final four players opting out.
That’s contradicting yourself. If acc is week and sec isn’t, how is scheduling 2 sec teams a weak OOC? Southern miss is also typically a lot better than they were this year. Also a regional rivalry for FSU, they used to play regularly when they were both independents. That’s like saying none of the “P5” Texas teams should ever schedule us….Alabama can get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they are NOT in a weak conference. Florida State cannot get away with scheduling weak teams OOC because they ARE in a weak conference.
