As A UGA Alumni, I respect your opinion. The game did get out of hand. I asked a friend, Fraternity brother, roommate in college. He writes for UGA. He said it looked like TCU players dressed as FSU players this year! Yall had a great season!

UGA fan, and I thought y’all got snubbed. I know someone had too, but still. I understand your team’s frustration and don’t blame them.

Much respect to FSU and much respect to Coach Norvell. #GoDawgs

I don’t feel bad for them, they had the same opportunities we had this year and they chose to quit

@@MrsDyer1206He said he felt bad for the guys that played, not the quitters, and I feel terrible for them as well. They showed up and competed till the clock said 00:00 and I tip my hat to them. Kirby is right...something needs to be done. The difference in culture tween the two is deep and apparent to all. We could have laid down but decided to show up n make a statement. I just wish the game was more competitive but a win is a win and teams are going to know we mean business in the post season. Those guys love ea other and the coaches and love to compete and fight together, which is what football is about #DecadeOfTheDawg

​@@PastorOfMuppets74it's not a culture thing at FSU. I see both sides. I'm a Longhorn fan and we didn't deserve to be there. The fact that 2 teams who lost jumped an undefeated team is wrong. FSU deserved that 3rd spot. That 4th spot was up for debate but FSU deserved #3. Tell me, why should they play a game that doesn't matter? Tell me, why does Michigan and Washington deserve to be there? They have the same record as FSU. So why was only FSU snubbed? FSU beat LSU, Clemson, Florida, and Louisville who are all great teams.

@@pimmyflores8739 I disagree completely but that's cool. The only team that you mentioned that was good was LSU, not sayin the other teams couldn't have won. I understand FSU's position. I'm on their side in that conversation. They SHOULD have been in the playoffs. But they weren't. I could complain about UGA, but I definitely understand why we were left out. To me it comes down to this...and anybody who's played football at a higher level should know...that's not a "meaningless game". That's just something the media keeps throwing out. That was the Orange Bowl. But bk to my point, to compete with the guys who have sacrificed all year, are injured, seniors that will never play again, etc etc...you don't abandom them. You should be chomping at the bit to get to help your teammates and compete as a team, as a brotherhood again. No games are "meaningless" in that regard. I said a culture issue bc clearly FSU whined and complained and there were talks about boycotting by the Uni n the team took a victim hood mentality. I understand being upset about it but you pull together and try to compete. You should want to compete. I could say a lot more but I've already written a book. That's my opinion. It's just an opinion, but that's football to me. If someone disagrees, fine. No problem with that. Take care. BTW that was a great comeback. Y'all almost pulled it off. Great game. The Natty should be interesting

Respectfully speaking, the score wouldnt have been much different if they had all starters and Jordan Travis..........@@pimmyflores8739

That was the problem, FSU administrators and team coaches knew that they were no going to make no statement against Georgia, that is why they encourage players to sat out.

@@carmeloerodriguez7570 thats feeble as fuck. You think Alabama would do something like that?

This game showed who the men were, and the cry babies. Georgia sucked it up and went out to play. FSU? Naw, sit and cry and still think you shoulda been in final four. Looks like the BCS got it right.

Here's a list of Georgia players out for the game. FSU could have brought the Florida National Guard and still lost. Injured players: Brock Bowers Amarius Mims Smael Mondon Julian Humphery Damon Wilson RARA Thomas Branson Robinson Transfer Portal players: Darris Smith Jonathan Jefferson Brock Vandagriff CJ Madden Jackson Meeks Austin Blaske EJ Lightsey Mekhi Mews Nyland Green Xavian Sorey Jamier Moten Zeed Haynes Aliou Bah Logan Johnson Marvin Jones Jr. AJ Harris Jamon Dumas-Johnson Daniel Harris De'Nylon Morrissette Josh Miller

This is what happens when you hire mercenaries to play for your football team.

😂😂😂

Thats complete horseshit, you can 1000% flex a win over a group of guys who left their brothers on that field to get demolished

That ENTIRE program was a total sham and poor excuse of a football team and leaders. Abysmal is the only word that comes to mind.

Nuff said.

@@shanewoods1980entire program? Did they have any off field issues? Any off season issues?

Probably referencing the few players left that could have opted out, but chose to play the game.

If you think Coach Norvell wanted all those players to opt out and for the game to have gone this way you are very mistaken. He didn’t choose this, he was dealt this by powers beyond his control. Powers with deep pockets who don’t give a **** about college football despite running the show, which is all it has become. College football has become a reality tv show.

@@lucasparham5068 he was dealt the result of playing in the orange bowl, a major, nationally televised game against the 2-time defending champs. how he (and his team) chose to respond is what i'm talking about. and he chose to allow people to quit on their teammates, staff and university. as for your point about what CFB has become, completely agree. NIL, the transfer portal and the playoffs have really taken much away from the game

FSU fans haven't learned their lesson and reality hasn't hit them yet neither on how much damage has been done to their program with this kind of loss to Georgia. How you going to be FSU on the recruiting trail after this beating.

By the opt out, lack of depth, lack of wanting to actually compete can affect the ability to recruit in the future. I wouldn’t wanna go to FSU after them allowing a team to embarrass them. The difference between teams like Georgia and Florida state is one team is a dynasty and the other is just sore losers. Even though Bama lost 2 games last year and didn’t make the playoffs, none of their players opted out and were able to come out on top against Kansas state. FSU won’t have an undefeated team next season

What is funny FSU was rated #5 in the nation and Georgia #6. Georgia was the underdawg according to ranking. If anyone has a beef with the CFB it should be Georgia.

@@MrJking065perfect comment. If anything, Georgia was the team that shoulda felt disrespected!

“Feel so entitled.” Yes, we feel entitled to making it into the playoffs after an undefeated season in a P4 conference.

Bama fan. Obviously, UGA is one of the best teams, if not the best. BUt how could UGA have gotten into this outlier of a year? They couldnt have gotten in over Bama, the Big 12 champion who beat Bama nor the the undefeated Big 10 or Pac12 teams. ANY other year- UGA would be a lock. NOt this year unfortunately, though we all wish otherwise. I would love to see this buzzsaw of a team get in. INjuries affected you as it did us 2 years ago. Its tough, but so be it

@stevesetzer3361 not a Bama fan, Go Gators. Everyone outside of the SEC would hate another Bama vs Georgia for the National Championship but they are the two best teams. Going undefeated in a weak conference means nothing. Nobody hearing Liberty U complaining with their undefeated season because they know.

@@stevesetzer3361 "Bama is going to do the same thing to the Cheaters.

Amen

This game was a mismatch when scheduled the committee blew this one.i fee we going to see more of the same when Bama wipes the field with Michigan

Amen to that… it was pathetic he didn’t reference Georgia at all.

"Not so good."

agree

Who TF is UGA..

@@marcuslewis7139 Your Diddy

Congrats UGA fans you beat a Florida State team without 14 of their starters.

Even Alabama said Georgia is one of the best four,

You can hate the players who opted out (or if you are smart, hate this dumb system that incentivizes that) but I don’t see how you can trash Norvell for that. Be proud of your coach, rightly so. He’s earned it. But Norvell is not to blame for what happened, despite the fact he took responsibility for it multiple times in this press conference.

Smart was able to craft a team that wanted to play no matter what. Norvell did not.

@@lucasparham5068Norvell is the reason fsu is where they are. The players and the fans have taken on his mentality. He plays the victim. Look how Kirby handled the situation and the outcome. Norvell is 100% responsible for getting blown out.

@@dennisroseman1158 Norvell is the reason FSU went 13-0 you mean?

Idk about that sir

Ok so if Georgia made it in, do you leave Alabama out or Texas out?

The problem is we really have no idea how this game would have played out if FSU was at full strength, even with them %100 with their QB1 too I still think Georgia wins though and I still think Georgia is clearly the best team in college football at this point. Had this been next year then it would not even be a conversation, the real issue here is 4 team CFP, it does not and never has made sense.

The problem is UGA lost the SEC championship which made them ineligible for a top 4 position.

@@marcuslewis7139 I guarantee more of those Georgia players will go first. You are fool to think otherwise.

I'm not a Georgia fan but everyone knows Georgia comes to play. FS showed why the SEC is real.

The cool thing about winning is that the only credit you need is on the score board. Enough said, 🎤 drop. Go Dawgs

​@Neverasheep the comment wasn't referring to georgia doofus. That being said they lost said game by 3 and tonight proved they should have been in and why this playoff is a joke.

LOL that doesn't prove anything.

I watched the UGA presser and I think I became a fan. That being said, they beat a JV team or something other than a 13-0 Fla. St. team. So no, not much was proven, except maybe the Fla. St. program has no heart, soul or togetherness, like what UGA demonstrated.

@@corvettechris1387 No!!! FSU shouldn't have been in the playoffs. They still would have lost, look at the team and the struggle against Louisville. Are you kidding me?! They choked and the coach didn't good job of holding his team accountable.

​@zeerie7521 Then it's not about deserving then it's about the best teams, right?

😂😂😂😂

Amazing how many like you don't know anything about football lol

@@rlhaff3560 well feel free to enlighten me instead of making a pointless comment. I saw two cultures face off in that game. Both thought they deserved to be in the playoff. One went out and played their starters, some who have just as much to lose by getting injured as anyone on Florida state. They played to make to win and make a statement. The other had their feelings hurt and decided to leave their teammates high and dry to get absolutely humiliated, and the coach went along with it. One of those two teams is the best college football program in the country, the other isn’t even on the top tier.

College football absolutely deserved that awful game. And there will be many more of them until they fix this sport. Too many people see CFB as a reality tv show, not a sport.

Would have been better if UGA would've beaten Bama.

@@lucasparham5068fsu wasn’t one of the best 4 teams. The committee 100% made the right decision. They didn’t get left out. They didn’t belong.

@@lucasparham5068 Some people might say that CFB or any competitive sport, is the true reality TV.

@@dennisroseman1158 Go back and watch yesterday’s games. FSU was as good or better than Bama or Michigan. In fact, FSU’s third string QB put up better numbers against GA than Bamas did against MI, and I thibk you would agree that GA has a better defense than MI and that FSU was missing all its major weapons. Funny, isn’t it?

Wrong. This is something that will happen to more teams in the bowls outside the playoff games. Did you listen to Coach Smart??? I'm sure you know more than him.

@@rlhaff3560 So why did UGA still treat it as an important game and not FSU? If any team should not have been motivated it would be the snubbed back to back reigning national champs by your standards. Its poor leadership and buy in of their football program.

FSU should have made the playoff. The decision of the players and the team to approach things after being left out was bad.

So, are you actually defending the playoff system or did you just wanna make this political for some reason? If the conference schedules don't matter at all, why are those games even tallied? If we have different divisions, but undefeated teams in division, one still get excluded, what's the point? Stfu 🙄

Based on what? Going undefeated is not worthy of a playoff spot. Sorry you don't get how the playoff works. For clarity, I think the committee is garbage.@@JC-xh9mp

@@choff6057 Alabama. Easy. They went undefeated. Alabama didn’t. Texas beat Alabama as a 1 loss conference champ. You can’t make the argument that you’re only putting the best teams in the playoff and leave Georgia out . Either you’re putting the team in that earned it or you’re putting in the best teams . The committee tried to have it both ways and lost any credibility it had left. Florida State did everything that was asked. Personally I think the FSU / Michigan match up would be a closer game than Alabama . I think Alabama wins easy. But I also think Georgia beats any team in the playoff. But Georgia’s not in because they didn’t earn it. Alabama earned a conference championship but FSU did more. It came down to money in the end because the SEC draws more than everybody else. But FSU definitely earned a chance. And the committee is to blame for what happened to FSU yesterday as much as Georgia. Sometimes the best teams don’t win. Everybody in the country knew the National Championship game was the SEC championship game. Everything is just a formality now. But under the committee’s explanation both Georgia and Alabama should be in the playoff. But they contradicted themselves with that one. So they should have done the correct thing and put in FSU , injury depleted roster and all.

Longest 17 minutes and 5 seconds in sports this year ...........

Problem with that is that the portal is our only route to have any success on the field right now. So you either ignore the portal and stay old school and lose lose lose, or embrace the portal, win on the field again and again, but risk these debacles. It’s a shame what has become of this sport.

Coach Prime is building same kind of Team at Colorado! And expects the Alabama Job Next😂😂😂

Even remembering the Alamo sounded more plausible. The guy has no goddamn clue and this is why he'll be hitting the road sooner than later. His players flat out quit.

@@michaelwolf6424 lolol

Which further proves the committee made the right choice with Bama. There is NO WAY Alabama would be so "disillusioned" that they would opt out. This just shows the lack of grit FSU has.

@@andrewb.9815 You nailed it. Alabama was left out last year. Bryce young and Will Anderson played, they were two first round NFL draft picks. I am tired of Alabama being blamed for this. FSU got the beat down they deserved. They had opt outs that were not Championship material, they proved it by not showing up. This absolutely proves FSU's lack of grit.

So you’re telling me the culture is stronger at a back to back national champion program with a history of recent success than at a school going through what FSU has since the end of the Fisher era in 2016? Shocking. I have to guess you don’t follow FSU, which is fine. But let’s just say it is anything but shocking that our culture is behind GA at this point. Props for a great win. Hopefully we will see you in the future under better circumstances.

Georgia should have beaten Bama.

@@lucasparham5068 well what explanation do you have for most of your starters saying fuck ya'll more or less? I mean UGA was pretty much in the same boat as FSU but they stuck together and played - what did FSU do? Yeah, the culture is MUCH stronger at UGA and that's a fact.

@@CleanMusicLover229 100%

@@Mox3712 Youre arguing with me but saying basically the same thing I said. Although, you are completely wrong that FSU and GA were in the same boat. FSU went the whole season undefeated, GA did not.

Tide didn't want another cfp championship fight with Georgia. The committee bent over for Saban

@@barryholden3929Kirby is 1-5 vs Saban . Fact

So...what year did you play for the bulldogs?...lol i bet you never played

More like take the game ball a boot it over the fence!!!! To signal the game is over!!!!😂

You honestly think Norvell is on the hot seat after one joke/disaster of a game, after an undefeated season which followed the first ten win season in years after the horror show of the Taggart era? Norvell is sitting on one of the coldest seats in football and this despicable game won’t change that. Now, if next season is a wreck that could change, but I don’t see that happening.

​. He has nothing to worry about, They have enough talent to win next year. Mike Norvell is not Willie Taggart.

Yep...they went!😛

Players that didn't play let everyone down.

Going undefeated does NOT make you one of the top 4 teams. It's best, not most deserving. How some people still don't get that is ridiculous.

@@acrane1100Exactly!

@@acrane1100 "it's subjective, not objective" I can't believe some people still don't understand that.

You mean like Georgia

Yeah! Georgia let up off the gas for sure. And let’s not forget that Georgia had 23 total players out as well including their best player Brock Bowers.

Uga had two starters out, let's not get too delusional

@@Sonnen88 yeah let’s not. FSU simply is not that deep. Depth matters. The 3rd and 4th stringers for GA were all 4-5 stars that could play anywhere in the country. It wasn’t fair FSU had to play GA. GA can beat anyone in the country. Unfortunately Bama had their number a few weeks ago. FSU had to cry to get past Louisville 16-6. To anyone that thinks FSU, with their starters, woulda scored more than 16 on GA is absolutely delusional. They only scored 16 on a mediocre Louisville team! I’m an ACC guy raised in the panhandle too, but let’s not get too crazy. Not sure FSU coulda beat GA with Charlie Ward! Lmfao. To be fair, Georgia was the defending 2 time champion and could possibly win it all if they were in the final 4. Crazy part is that Georgia also had 23 players out including their best player Brock Bowers. Kirby Smart was even being nice by calling all running plays for a bit and even threw in a few of the walk ons and 4th stringers. FSU, or any team in the ACC just don’t have that kind of firepower; depth

Anyone thinking FSU should have been in the playoff doesn’t know crap about football.

What philosophy is that exactly? I keep seeing culture being mentioned everywhere. What kind of culture? Like off field issue culture? Off season culture? That the kinda culture Georgia really wanna mention?

Nah. Georgia will remember the 63-3 win, but the rest of the nation will remember the controversy of leaving a 13-0 P4 conference champion out of the playoffs, and how that contributed to the end of the ACC altogether. College football is in shambles right now. Your coach is right that it needs to be fixed.

The Nation will remember players quit. Doing this erased the season. They will be remembered as losers. Yes college football is just semi pro teams who happen to play at colleges. No one will fix. Lots of money. It could be fixed with few changes. How? Attach scholarships to graduation rates. If the college graduates 70% of students then football team must average 70% graduation rate also. If they do not, they lose scholarships based on how far below. This means coaches must recruit student athletes. Players must also sign contracts. Either yearly in that they play “all” games in a season. Bowls also. Or that they sign to a 4 year contract and must graduate within 5 years.

UGA has 27 players injured or transfer out but they made no excuses. Bowers, Mims, Thomas, Mondon, Dumas Johnson, to name a few. Not a UGA either
