College Football: Ga Tech Stuffs FSU's Playoff Hopes

ZVUGKTUBM wrote:GA Tech: 22/'Noles: 16

And the announcer earlier in the game kept saying that because of the weak ACC conference, no 1-loss ACC team will make it to the 2015/2016 playoffs.

And the 'Noles still have to play a couple of ranked teams (Clemson and UF)--they have not played a ranked team this season, and were beaten by an unranked team today!

So GA Tech not only bagged Golson's first interception of the season, they beat FSU by causing a turnover in the last play of the game.

I would not want to be a 'Noles fan today.

The Clemson game should be a good one....

Because they're a bad football team.  They're a really really bad football team.  

I have been saying for several years now that Jimbo is simply not a good coach.  FSU enjoyed brief success due to Winston, though in the absence of first round NFL talent at QB, Jimbo can't even coach his way out of the soft ACC.  

FSU will wallow in mediocrity for the next 5-7 years until they fire Jimbo.

That is why I wouldn't want to be an FSU fan.

FSU dropped 8 places to No. 17 in the Week 8 AP Poll. There is no hope for them to climb back into playoff contention--too many good teams ahead of them now. Clemson (currently #3) will likely take the Atlantic Division and the conference championship.

Perhaps one of your minions will reveal to you what a fan is of a sports team.  Like your political views, you just wet your finger, stick it up...in the air and see which way the wind blows.

I was a FAN when I came here to Tallahassee, Darryl Mudra was coach and we went 0-10 the year before Bobby Bowden came to FSU.

If you think you're going to get a rise out of my by whining that Jimbo Fisher is a bad coach, go for it.

It simply continues to confirm you denial of FACTS and how foolish you look doing so.

You're making a case against an argument that no one here has made.  No one suggested that fans shouldn't continue to pull for their team even when they are terrible.  They should.  Z was just saying that these are dark days for FSU fans, and he is correct.  They are.

Like I said, 5-7 years of mediocrity and then FSU will fire Jimbo.  

Looking at the rest of this season, I have FSU losing to Syracuse, Clemson, NC State, and - of course - the Florida Gators.  That would put them at 7-5 in an incredibly weak conference.  Ouch.

Meanwhile, the Gators don't even have a QB and they're sniffing the top ten with one loss.  Should the Gators win out, they're in the playoff.  Just imagine what that team will be like in a few years with some recruiting.  The future is bright.

Next week is a week with some big matchups. FSU goes to Clemson and plays a ranked team for a change (their first of the season). I will be rooting for Clemson.

Next, LSU plays Alabama in a classic SEC matchup.

A Thursday warmup might be Mississippi State at Missouri...

Meanwhile, UF is cruising toward a birth in the SEC championship game, and the annual showdown against the 'Noles, which will be played in Gainesville this year (that will be FSU's 2nd game against a ranked opponent this year, and should be a good game).

Plenty of good football remaining in this season!

Only because during the mid-1990s I worked with some rabid and fanatical FSU alumni who would not quit talking about their former school's football team during football season. I noticed how depressed they were on Monday if FSU lost the previous Saturday, and how much they hated the UF Gators. I then became a Gators fan, and actually started following college football more closely than I ever did in my life before. The Monday after the 1997 National Championship game was a lot of fun at the office!

November 28 will be a good game. If Will Grier (QB) was not suspended, I suspect the game would be an FSU-rout. If Harris (QB) can play consistent that day, and the UF defense is as good as it was last Saturday against Georgia, even Dalvin Cook may be contained. We will just have to see, and I am sure we will discuss it. Good luck to your team....  ;-]

Without their heisman candidate rb or their starting qb and center... and it wasn't even close. Fsu is much more talented.
