    This is not suprising, I tried to tell the FSU fans here, that this would be the outcome, but they all laughed.

    And anyone defending Winston's fumble is pathetic.

    Totally agree. This FSU team had too many underclassmen playing key roles. It's a testament to Winston that they are in this game. TCU should definitely be in their spot but it's hard to take that away from the reigning champs when they haven't lost a game.

    This is why you don't put a team in the playoff just because they won out. Put in the best 4 teams or expand the field to 8. I mean was there a single college football fan that thought Florida State had a better team than TCU this season? Expand the damn field to 8.

    Hate to break it to you, but as I've been saying ALL SEASON.

    Jameis Winston is the real FSU stayed undefeated, and y'all kept saying his RBs or the defense

    FUCK THAT

    you see how fucking pitiful they are? Defense is high school level, it's pathetic.

    Jameis Winston is the real deal and he's going to prove it in the NFL.

    cheering for your gimmick knee injury waiting to happen boytoy tho

    I mean I know they sort of had to since they were reigning champs and won out. But they did not look like a great team all year. I think the playoff committee needs to decide the criteria it will use going forward. If you wanted to put in the best 4 teams, you never would have selected Florida State. If you want to just go by record, bring back the BCS computer style system.

    The good news with this display is Winston (Should) get humbled, something Manziel never experienced in college. This will be on the back of Winston's mind (IF) he comes out, but I would not be shocked if Winston doesn't want his Florida St career to end this way.

    It isn't a foregone conclusion Winston will leave, I think he has too much pride to go out of FSU like this.

    I not going to re-litigate the whole fake under center issue. I can find my previous comments and post it for you in a little bit. That aside, Geno is under center what, 5% max 10% of the time? I think Mariota can swing that.

    Very simple outcome here, FSU is the inferior team...It was inevitable.

    in every aspect besides QB.

    I will say I don't know how Jameis has managed to get us this far, I thought we were done against ND

    I disagree entirely with all of you about FSU and it's not just because I'm a fan.

    Cook, a freshman excellent running back, fumbled the ball twice, resulting in two TD. Winston fights for his life to keep the fourth down alive and fumbles the ball for another TD. He then throws a pass that bounces off the arms of his receiver, into the arms of Oregon.

    Mistakes, I get it, but to sit here and say that they are an inferior team because of this game is absurd. Dumb mistakes. Two fumbles by a rookie. A dumb fumble by Winston and a dropped pass by a receiver that fell into Oregons hands.

    If ND had any idea of how to play defense, they would have finished the Noles off. What a mess Notre Dame was. Good bowl win though.

    FSU is sort of like the Cardinals in the NFL this season. Kept squeaking by and just waiting to get annihilated by a great team (like what Seattle did to Cards). Great teams don't win every game close. You cannot consistently win close games, the margin for error is just too slim. Winning decisively is the far better indicator of greatness. Margin of victory is more predictive of performance going forward than record.

    Very telling...Not only did Jimbo get on him but they showed the offensive coordinator or someone else talk to Winston for a few minutes.

    NFL is watching

    Man this thread is a cesspool, the opinions on both sides for Winston are borderline unreadable, Jesus Christ.

    FSU is the inferior team because they spent the majority of the season trailing football games. That doesn't happen to great teams. They are a 9-3 type team that had some bounces go their way. No business being in this playoff but the committee's hands were tied because of the record.

    Still has nothing to do with my point. Nothing in this game right now shows me FSU is an interior opponent. Nothing.
