Florida State fans, media react to Alabama’s loss in College Football Playoff
Published:
Florida State fans had some fun at Alabama’s expense after the Tide were knocked out of the College Football Playoff on Monday night.
Alabama lost 27-20 to Michigan in overtime at the Rose Bowl. The Crimson Tide narrowly made the CFP over an undefeated Florida State team after they beat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
The selection committee noted FSU’s struggles at quarterback after Jordan Travis’ injury as a reason why Alabama was selected over FSU for the No. 4 seed. However, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe had plenty of inefficiency issues in this game against Michigan.
Milroe threw for just 116 yards on 23 attempts against Michigan in the loss. He did rush for 63 yards, but was stuffed on the final play in overtime to seal the win for Michigan.
Florida State fans and media were quick to share their reactions to the Rose Bowl result after it became official. Here’s the best of that reaction:

This is the elite “QB1” play that kept an undefeated 13-0 Florida State team from making the CFP. Tate Rodemaker would have done better than 104 passing yards & 0 TDs through FOUR full quarters. Straight robbery. ?️ pic.twitter.com/AxICEKoMDD

FSU would’ve came up with a better 4th down play

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.— Corey Clark (@Corey_Clark) January 2, 2024
(I think full-strength Florida State would've beaten both of those teams, but we'll never get to really compare it)

I’ll take that. Florida state earned the right to be there and had it stolen. https://t.co/dBzGTw7oA1

Really glad the committee put in Alabama instead of FSU.
Good choice.
Couldn't have a QB in a playoff game throw for like 116 yards or something including overtime.
Oh, wait.

This is the elite quarterback play that Florida State simply could not offer pic.twitter.com/8YBx8N0Ga0
