Sorry I keep tweeting about this, folks. It just bothers me that certain people try to validate this nonsense. FSU wasn’t kept out because of Jordan Travis. FSU was kept out because the SEC had to be in. Quit acting like the backup QB discussion is anything other than an excuse.

- If UGA had beaten Alabama, the order would’ve been: 1. UGA 2. Michigan 3. Washington 4. FSU But they HAD to have an SEC team at all costs. Had to. Well, you can’t put in Bama and leave out the team that beat them by two scores. So, you use Travis injury as an excuse.
- Since Travis injury, the Florida State defense was on the field for 38 possessions. And allowed 1 touchdown. And that came after a horrible personal foul call that negated a third-down stop. So, essentially 0 TDs on 38 possessions SINCE the injury. But hey, couldn't compete!
- Remember that time when a college football team that had Jared Verse, Keon Coleman, Braden Fiske, Renardo Green and eight other NFL Draft picks wasn’t deemed good enough to play in the playoffs? Wild times, man.
- I think FSU wins national championship with Jordan Travis. I KNOW FSU could’ve competed with either one these teams with Tate Rodemaker. Noles had a solid defense, too! If i remember correctly.
- Seminoles finish on a 24-3 run. On the road. In a rivalry game. With a backup quarterback. 12-0. Miss me with all the “style points” nonsense. Please. That was a great win.
- Number of weeks ACC teams were ranked in AP Top 5 since FSU joined in 1992. Duke 0. Wake 0. NC State 0. Virginia 0. Ga Tech 0. *Syracuse 0. *Pitt 0. *Boston College 4. *Miami 5. *Louisville 6. North Carolina 7. *VT 14. Clemson 107. FSU 190. *Since joining ACC
- I personally think FSU - with Tate Rodemaker at QB - wouldn’t need a 4th and 31 miracle to beat Auburn. But that’s just an opinion. It’s not a stone-cold fact like saying Alabama is better in all CAPS. With two exclamation points! The 2nd half of this post is very nice, though!
- Not counting goofy COVID season (Ohio State played five games), there have only been two instances in CFP history where an undefeated Power 5 team had one-loss teams ranked ahead of it. 2014. 2023. Both Florida State.
- Crazy few years for FSU fans. The national championship coach questioned their commitment to winning on his way out the door. The No. 1 recruit, who had been a commit, threw the FSU hat on the ground on NSD. Well, Jimbo is done. The other dude is 4-6. And FSU is 10-0.
- This is a Jammie Robinson appreciation tweet. Had 14 more tackles tonight, with a sack, two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. He also was the only starter in the secondary for a large portion of second half. Dude is just a football player, man.
- Never forget the last two games this guy played. When it still seemed FSU would get into playoffs with two more wins, the dude rose to another level and essentially became unblockable. Great player. Great legacy.Thank you for everything, Florida State 🖤
- The only Florida State teams to win at Clemson and Florida in the same year: 1999, 2013, 2023.
- Still trying to process this half. Impressive job by Tate to lead FSU to 24 straight points to close it out. But, man, I don't think I've ever felt worse for a player I've covered than I do for Jordan Travis right now. Just an awful end to a great, great career.
