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!

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!

Most QBs would’ve have left two years ago. I understand timing isn’t ideal, but Rodemaker was a backup for 4 years. Can’t imagine there are 10 other QBs in the country that stuck it out that long. Plus, wins at Louisville and the Swamp. Good Nole. Bad timing. Good luck to him.
