Would take some heat yes, but they get nothing out of losing to UGA or unlikely beating them and you just have an even bigger what could have been while not having any real shot at a split championship. Just give the establishment a big middle finger. Hell just player opt outs takes the heat off the school and nobody would blame the players after getting screwed.

No, they should play and pray to God they have no opt outs and for UGA to have a shite ton. Hopefully they wax UGA and claim a share of the national title.

Good lesson for the players. Life’s unfair and when it gets tough you should just quit.

My cousin sent me something on tiktok, someone had a suggestion.

If they dont want to play, they shouldnt say anything. Take their extra practices, go to miami and hang out.

Walk out on the field at gametime, then turn around and walk back in the locker room. ESPN would shite their pants.


But really, if they could beat Georgia and if Bama loses the first game. Could you imagine the uproar? Id laugh.

That's a lot of money to leave on the table. And the other conference members are entitled to a split of part of that money as well.

Watch for opt-outs. There's your answer.

Georgia is basically homegrown and their culture of winning is going to not only keep them together, more than most anyway, but, I think, highly motivated to win this game.

It's hard to say that about FSU. They have a ton of Transfer Portal kids who haven't grown up wishing to be where they are.

It will be interesting to see if Mike Novell has built that kind of respect and culture to not quit with his kids.

I mean it's not apples to apples, but you'd be a fool to just keep your head down and keep chugging along when someone is obviously taking advantage of you or straight up cheating you.

I’d be ok with FSU opting out of that bowl

Or, beat UGA and make the committee eat their words

But we know that won’t happen

So instead they should just quit

If there’s opt outs on UGA it won’t be the same as beating them at full strength

true, but the AP Poll has always been big on "we report the news, not make it". I can see the AP voters saying, well, Nos. 1 and 2 all lost. 3 won. They move up.

Would be more than heat. The conference would slam them because they would be missing out on the bowl money. The school needs the bowl money to finance other sports. I am sure ESPN could sue the shite out of the ACC and FSU for some type of breach.

Way too much $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to take their ball and go home.

Play the game and win. Then hop UT or Bama wins out so you can claim a title as undefeated.

I am sure this has been mentioned on here, but in 1969 LSU was 9-1 with the only loss by 3 to Ole Miss. The Tigers were ranked 10th in the Country, and looking at going to the Cotton Bowl where they would have played #1 Texas. Notre Dame, who hadn’t played in Bowls since the 1920s, suddenly decided to start again.

After being screwed over by the Cotton Bowl, the LSU players voted to decline invitations to lesser bowls.
