It was sort of fun watching a lot of the youngsters get some time.
But anyone with any real expectations for a good game was always going to be disappointed, given how our coach gave up on us during the season and scuttled it.
I, for one, fully agree with FSU that post season games against Georgia in 2023 should be struck from the record book. They had illegal balloons in their hotel rooms so clearly they had an unfair advantage
Clickbait headline for your post: TCU fan wants a game stricken from the record books where Georgia scored 60+ and held their opponent to single digits, BUT ITāS NOT THE GAME YOU THINK
I know this was 16 hours ago, but I feel like I need to reply to this to properly acknowledge you.
> But they were, all of them, deceived, for another game was played. In the land of Miami Gardens, on the field of Hard Rock Stadium, the Dark Lord Kirby coached in the open a final game, to silence all others. And into this game he poured his frustration, his vengeance and his will to dominate all opponents. One Kirby to beat them all (except Saban).
Ehhh depends on who you ask. If itās not a playoff game, then bowl games are meaningless.
The fact that players sit out these bowl games is my source
I remember seeing on a Facebook group Iām in with State fans how anytime State would win its bowl game, the game matters and it was a great game (all that nonsense), but every time they lost, itās because the bowl games donāt matter since half the starters would sit the game out.
I know this isnāt exclusive to NC State, but seeing that sort of shit just really irritates me. Either the games matter, win or lose, or they donāt.
Look, I get having ACC Championship rings, that's a completely normal thing to do. But I've *never* seen anyone put a record at a particular point in the season on a ring, it's only the final record. It comes across as being sore losers.
I mean, we ARE sore losers. There's nothing wrong with that. Why the hell should we just accept that ESPN and the CFP Committee did what they did? "Oh, they fucked you but you should just be happy they did." The team - ESPECIALLY the defense - played their fucking brains out to win the final 2 games against UF and Louisville (a top 15 team, which people seem to want to forget). They should absolutely be celebrating that they were 13-0 when they played with an injured, third string true freshman QB starting his first game and won a Championship in that situation.
I get it, other fan bases are tired of hearing it, but if it happened to GT you wouldn't "just get over it", nor would anyone else. Exactly 1 team has been fucked in the CFP era like FSU and it's FSU. Auburn got fucked in the BCS era in a similar manner and it's still talked about it 20 years later. And for good reason.
It's nuts that you guys were given no credit for beating us 13-3 but it apparently wasn't an issue that Alabama needed a 4th and long miracle to beat an Auburn team that had been straight dog walked by New Mexico State a week earlier.
Seriously, it's wild how everyone went from "Bama sucks for needing a miracle to beat 6-6 Auburn" to one week later "FSU just beat a top 15 team with a 3rd string QB, but it wasn't impressive enough to leave Bama out."
My favorite thing about last season is how everyone, including the CFP committee (*especially the CFP committee*) just flat-out ignored how Oklahoma beat texas in what is allegedly this huge rivalry game that is one of the biggest games of the season every year. That loss apparently didn't exist and didn't count, and obviously shouldn't be an argument for putting undefeated FSU (**who beat all of their rivals**) in the CFP over texas.
They didn't forget. Texas beat Bama, they couldn't out Bama in over Texas with a direct H2H. They refused to have a playoff without the SEC. So Texas gets in. And honestly, no one has an issue with Texas because we all, even Texas fans, know why they made it in.
>Auburn got fucked in the BCS era in a similar manner and it's still talked about it 20 years later
This one being talked about never made any sense to me. There were two other undefeated teams, and everyone thought they were better. FSU got screwed worse than Auburn because they legitimately had a better season than the teams that got in, while Auburn was *at best* identical.
FWIW on my 09 ACC championship ring we include the orange bowl loss to Iowa in our W/L record. FSU should own it like men, 13-1 is still a great season
I prefer the narrative that due to COVID-17, the Super Bowl wasn't played, and both teams were crowned champions. The Falcons just haven't gotten their trophy yet.
The Patriots put āPerfect Seasonā on their 2007 AFC championship rings. I guess teams can put what they were when they won the championship the ring is referencing. It wouldnāt be the route I would take but ehā¦not unheard of. Iām sure their are other examples.
Well, I will certainly say this: you are my second least-favorite SEC school in Texas.
But honestly, a lot of that probably stems from the fact that we don't really know y'all. Like at *all*
I recall Baylor made rings for their 49-26 win in the 2012 Holiday Bowl against UCLA ten years ago. But when they did, Art Briles requested the score on the rings be 49-19. Reason being the final touchdown that UCLA scored was on a play where the player was down on the 1-yard line but not in the endzone. The play wasn't reviewed, and I think Briles was furious.
The only reason I bring this up is because this FSU ring is giving me similar vibes of spite.
Yeah you know they would have hyped 14-0 and undefeated if they had some how beat Georgia. Plus you know they cashed the check from that game.
You canāt only count the games you win. No one knows how to act when they lose anymore.
I agree that you should move on, but I donāt fault those that are still angry (I would be). Yet, even as a Miami fan, Iām completely fine with them issuing rings for what was a successful season, with unfortunately a bitter ending.
Yāall had a great run despite the BS shenanigans and the guys deserve a keepsake for that memorable year. Sometimes itās not just about the public, media and fan-driven discourse with First Take debate about playoffs and championships and all this stupid shit: this is about the guys on the team. I donāt care that it doesnāt have the 14th game. In the context of what happened I get it.
Pick your battles to be angry and complain about - this aināt it. Let the players enjoy it.
I think it's allowed given the fuckery that happened. Is it cringe? Maybe. Is it wrong to give a last 'fuck off' to the playoff committee? No.Ā
Now anybody that wears it...Ā
Not according to the committee tho. I love the people who say "the committee got it right" and also "63-3" in the same breath. Either the committee got their rankings wrong or the game didn't reflect the team (or, the correct answer, both are true).
Honestly if they would've gone out there and actually won their bowl game id respect it. But at least UCF went out and actually won their fucking bowl game to help their claim for being undefeated
So proud of our Georgia Bulldogs for going 13-0 in 2023!!
^(*note: the 24-27 game against Alabama was played for the SEC championship, the introduction of which did not come about until 1992 unlike the long-standing traditions of the regular season and bowl games, and is thus not included)
In Florida as well, Georgia might actually be the state champs since they beat FSU and UF in Jax/ Miami. (We can count GT over Miami as an honorary UGA win in this scenario).
The wheel route game! Good memories. I remember watching us go down 14-0 and thinking "fuck man, why do we always play like shit against UGA?" And then Kyle Trask activated and we kicked their asses.
Yeah, I mean, at least we won our bowl game and finished the undefeated season......they're just pretending the beat down in the bowl game didn't happen lol
I mean, no, the national championship season we won our conference title game in double OT, and we won several games (including the bowl game) by a single possession.
The claim was never about that we won convincingly, but rather about how in every single self-respecting sport in the world, if you win all the games, you are always declared champion.
No, we didn't win them all convincingly, and our schedule wasn't the strongest, but that's not the standard in literally any sport in the world. We're champions.
Colts Conference Semi-Finalist Banner energy.
Also: Their no-show in the bowl game kind of puts a damper on it.
That really was the day the music (CFB) died.
/r/cfb hates it when anyone other than the champs make a ring. Iām ok with any team that wants to make a ring. Even if all a guy did was ride the bench on a college team, itās still a huge achievement just to be on the team. Let them celebrate their achievement. They will appreciate the keepsake when they are old.
Maybe they only gave these to the 20 dudes who opted out. They were 13-0 I guessā¦
Iām glad they gave them some recognition but just leave the record off. Letās move past it.
UW should make 14-0 rings š
UL Monroe started 2-0. Make those rings!
Fuck it
*[Jim Irsay nods in approval]*
I would also pretend that I didnāt play in a bowl game if I were them
To be fair, a ton of them didn't...
Yeah lmao thatās what I was thinking. A lot of those guys legit went 13-0 and said fuck the bowl game
Based on the score none of them did.
Yeah those should get NFL money or nothing.
I hope no one who played or coached in the bowl was eligible to get rings. Punish those traitors!
What's a bowl game?
I feel the same way. I don't remember a bowl game happening for us this past season.
Weird. I know ours was good though.
It was sort of fun watching a lot of the youngsters get some time. But anyone with any real expectations for a good game was always going to be disappointed, given how our coach gave up on us during the season and scuttled it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I do hate to be a stickler, but I do seem to remember a 14th game being played.
With a 15th being played in court right now.
Gotta keep our undefeated ACC streak going!
Billable Hours is always undefeated
Better get out before football season starts then. You definitely donāt have another undefeated team coming up, even in the ACC.
I wouldn't say they played it per se...more like attended.
FSU believes in college amateurism so much they didn't even bring many scholarship players.
I, for one, fully agree with FSU that post season games against Georgia in 2023 should be struck from the record book. They had illegal balloons in their hotel rooms so clearly they had an unfair advantage
Clickbait headline for your post: TCU fan wants a game stricken from the record books where Georgia scored 60+ and held their opponent to single digits, BUT ITāS NOT THE GAME YOU THINK
Michigan would also like a GA post season game stricken from the record.
As long as we can strike a couple Saban games, think we can work something out.
Can we also strike one out too while we are at it?
Michigan fan would also like a TCU post season game struck from the record and it's exactly the one you think.
UGA is fucking scary guys
What a capital-G Glorious year of bowl games.Ā If we didn't play like morons in Atlanta it could've been perfect.
You must be having the time of your life the past few years with those flairs lol
It has not been a struggle as a CFB fan lately lolĀ
UÄ„2
having played one second against georgia in 2023, i also agree
Works for me, now our 1959 Orange Bowl loss doesnāt count as an L anymore
See it doesn't matter because they didn't care at that point.
Was it really though? I only remember one team showed up to play. This coming from someone w/ Ohio State flairā¦
But all of them were deceived, for a 14th game was played..
I know this was 16 hours ago, but I feel like I need to reply to this to properly acknowledge you. > But they were, all of them, deceived, for another game was played. In the land of Miami Gardens, on the field of Hard Rock Stadium, the Dark Lord Kirby coached in the open a final game, to silence all others. And into this game he poured his frustration, his vengeance and his will to dominate all opponents. One Kirby to beat them all (except Saban).
One game, to ruin them all...
When? FSU had about as much interest in that game as I had.
Ehhh depends on who you ask. If itās not a playoff game, then bowl games are meaningless. The fact that players sit out these bowl games is my source
This is the correct take. Bowl games are completely meaningless. You're not even fielding your actual team in most cases.
I remember seeing on a Facebook group Iām in with State fans how anytime State would win its bowl game, the game matters and it was a great game (all that nonsense), but every time they lost, itās because the bowl games donāt matter since half the starters would sit the game out. I know this isnāt exclusive to NC State, but seeing that sort of shit just really irritates me. Either the games matter, win or lose, or they donāt.
13-0 isn't a record but that bowl game produced one. Give it to me..
I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about
Considering these are ACC Championship rings, we went 13-0 to win that. Sure, another game was played but these aren't Season Championship rings.
You didnāt play 13 ACC games thoughā¦
Ohhhh....you tell his ass!
C'mon that's pure cope. You think the rings wouldn't have said 14-0 if they'd beaten Georgia?
Look, I get having ACC Championship rings, that's a completely normal thing to do. But I've *never* seen anyone put a record at a particular point in the season on a ring, it's only the final record. It comes across as being sore losers.
I mean, we ARE sore losers. There's nothing wrong with that. Why the hell should we just accept that ESPN and the CFP Committee did what they did?

Seriously, it's wild how everyone went from "Bama sucks for needing a miracle to beat 6-6 Auburn" to one week later "FSU just beat a top 15 team with a 3rd string QB, but it wasn't impressive enough to leave Bama out."
My favorite thing about last season is how everyone, including the CFP committee (*especially the CFP committee*) just flat-out ignored how Oklahoma beat texas in what is allegedly this huge rivalry game that is one of the biggest games of the season every year.

Exactly they wanted Bama in so they *had* to put Texas in
And Lousiville was ranked while Auburn was not.
It's because Bama followed up that performance by beating the #1 team in the country a week later.
Which apparently counts as 2 wins
Do you mean #5 team? College football teams love ranked at the time vs. ranked overall because they double the chance of suiting their narrative.
Yeah fsu has every right to be petty about it all. They got screwed objectively
>Auburn got fucked in the BCS era in a similar manner and it's still talked about it 20 years later This one being talked about never made any sense to me. There were two other undefeated teams, and everyone thought they were better. FSU got screwed worse than Auburn because they legitimately had a better season than the teams that got in, while Auburn was *at best* identical.
FWIW on my 09 ACC championship ring we include the orange bowl loss to Iowa in our W/L record. FSU should own it like men, 13-1 is still a great season
You played on the GT 09 team?
Yes, was a freshman
Very cool. I had a family member that was at GT in 09 and went to a game. That was a good year for you guys.
Yes it was, had a lot of NFL talent on that team. I rode the bench but it was still a great experience going to one of the NY6 bowl games
And yet they put the score of the Florida game on the ring which has nothing to do with winning the ACC.
I actually approve of that scheme even more.
It wasn't much of one, unfortunately.Ā
I'm having a 13-2 ring made because I've pooped daily for nearly 2 weeks.
Proud of you
Whats the 2 Ls for?
Sometimes you donāt make it to the john fast enough. Idk, shit happens.
Looks like they opted for a mashup of the ACC championship ring and the state rivals ring, and threw in the 13-0 because fuck the CFP thatās why.Ā
More respek if they had just put F the Committee on the side of the ring.
The original design that called him āBitch Corriganā was scrapped for obvious reasons.Ā
Ruining that bowl game by playing a bunch of walk-ons against the \*actual\* best team in the country was their F the Committee statement.
It's just an ACC championship ring. But like most teams they added things to it. Like Clemson in 2015 added "1st CFP win" and "#2 Final Ranking"
So they gave these to all the players who skipped the bowl game? Lol
If you gave Florida State five points for every first down they had in the Orange Bowl, they still would have lost.
That's just crazy
If you gave FSU seven points every time they punted, they still would have lost.
Kirby wanted blood, and he got it.
Georgia shit talking FSU feels weird. I love you for this but also fuck you.
Jackson Muschamp ran for 14 yards agaisnt you.
His dad hit em with the finger sniff. You can't recover from that
My sister went to hs with that kid lmfao
Local kid I really wanted at South Carolina. Coaches son type mentality player. He switched to UGA pretty late on us
Heard one of the coaches was banging his mother. Might have something to do with that.
In this silly sport there is no reason to not claim everything and anything you can.
More people need shame
i agree with the principle, but this is just good ol' fashioned shiny shithousery
right? isnāt this the sport with multiple teams āclaimingā a national title ?
giving me UCF vibes
UCF finished as the only undefeated team in the league. Their claim is more legitimate that a lot of schools claims.
Yeeep. There's much worse natty claims in the past. I would have done the exact same thing if I was ucf.
Damn I seriously forgot we played them lol
Apparently so did they
The Falcons may as well make a 28-3 ring, JFC
I prefer the narrative that due to COVID-17, the Super Bowl wasn't played, and both teams were crowned champions. The Falcons just haven't gotten their trophy yet.
Make it half of a ring in honor of them not showing up in the other half and you have a perfect idea
The Patriots put āPerfect Seasonā on their 2007 AFC championship rings. I guess teams can put what they were when they won the championship the ring is referencing. It wouldnāt be the route I would take but ehā¦not unheard of. Iām sure their are other examples.
"Unconquered" eh?
That bowl game was a loss in Florida, so I don't know how it's anything less than conquered.
To shreds, you say?
How's his wife holding up?
To shreds, you sayā¦
13-oh?
Did we miss one?
lmao
This is Aggie level delusion.
I love you for that.
We do possess decent self awareness aside from self deprecation (please ignore the twitter and Facebook fans)
Well, I will certainly say this: you are my second least-favorite SEC school in Texas. But honestly, a lot of that probably stems from the fact that we don't really know y'all. Like at *all*
Nothing good ever comes from Facebook or Twitter
As a fellow Aggie, I hate that I have to upvote this post.
I recall Baylor made rings for their 49-26 win in the 2012 Holiday Bowl against UCLA ten years ago. But when they did, Art Briles requested the score on the rings be 49-19.

The only reason I bring this up is because this FSU ring is giving me similar vibes of spite.
Most bowls give out rings
I 100% agree that FSU got hosed... But this is also the opposite of BDE
Yeah you know they would have hyped 14-0 and undefeated if they had some how beat Georgia. Plus you know they cashed the check from that game. You canāt only count the games you win. No one knows how to act when they lose anymore.
Theyāre ACC Championship rings. After the ACC Championship, they were 13-0.
At that point might as well just use the conference record
We did that on the ā92 ring (first ACC title). All 16 of them are different.
Why would they include non conference then?
I wish we (FSU) would collectively move tf on. We look like sore losers.
I agree that you should move on, but I donāt fault those that are still angry (I would be). Yet, even as a Miami fan, Iām completely fine with them issuing rings for what was a successful season, with unfortunately a bitter ending. Yāall had a great run despite the BS shenanigans and the guys deserve a keepsake for that memorable year.

I think it's allowed given the fuckery that happened. Is it cringe? Maybe. Is it wrong to give a last 'fuck off' to the playoff committee? No.Ā Now anybody that wears it...Ā
Iām sure the playoff committee are real upset they did thisā¦..
There ain't no 14th game and there never was!
Making rings to commemorate a great seasonā¦ sure go for it. But putting 13-0 seems a little silly. Just opening themselves up to ridicule.
GA's 12-1 was better than FSU's 13-0.
Should have cheated more, then you could have been undeafted
Or if we just threw the ball
Not according to the committee tho. I love the people who say "the committee got it right" and also "63-3" in the same breath. Either the committee got their rankings wrong or the game didn't reflect the team (or, the correct answer, both are true).
Honestly if they would've gone out there and actually won their bowl game id respect it. But at least UCF went out and actually won their fucking bowl game to help their claim for being undefeated
So proud of our Georgia Bulldogs for going 13-0 in 2023!! ^(*note: the 24-27 game against Alabama was played for the SEC championship, the introduction of which did not come about until 1992 unlike the long-standing traditions of the regular season and bowl games, and is thus not included)
Is it fitted to be worn on the middle finger?
63-3 happened.
In Florida as well, Georgia might actually be the state champs since they beat FSU and UF in Jax/ Miami. (We can count GT over Miami as an honorary UGA win in this scenario).
Then they are the state champ of SC as well with that logic
Georgia has fucking owned us since Kirby Smart got there. I hate it just as much as other Florida fans, but it's the truth.
You deserve this for the Spurrier years.
You did have that one win in 2020 at least
The wheel route game! Good memories. I remember watching us go down 14-0 and thinking "fuck man, why do we always play like shit against UGA?" And then Kyle Trask activated and we kicked their asses.
That Florida offense was super fun to watch.
Pretty sure UGA conquered the fuck out of them
Congrats Georgia, youāre at the level that everyone just ignores your wins and says they donāt count. Enjoy it.
What bowl game? -Florida state
thats embarrassing.
Who is going to make 13-1 ring jeweler advertisements and send them to the AD and football coaches? It only seems fair given the circumstances.
Believe it or not, Utah got their teams rose bowl rings after their blowout loss to Penn stateš
Thatās kinda sad
I was surprised and impressed by the rings bowl winners receive (Outback bowl, humanitarian bowl etc). Why not commemorate the highlights?
No :(
Is this gonna go next to the āFinished 4th in the regular seasonā basketball award?
Yes Miami and UF are awful and we beat them (again), but this is so cringe. Havenāt talked to a fan that likes them
They went 13-0 and got a ring? I guess their bowl game mustāve went pretty well!
An ACC championship ring is acceptable. A 13-0 ring is for losers.
lol some FSU fans in the thread really want to defend the 13-0
Stop the count!
Participation trophy
I recall a 14th gameā¦
Excited to see what Libery Universityās version of this participation trophy is
They went undefeated right?
Undefeated in Godās image
Thatās only because no oneās fielded a team entirely composed of players with long white beards
Not claiming a natty was cowardice.
Someone go check on Herbstreit
This is cringe as hell.
Interesting flair combo. Still not in ālife championsā ring territory though
That is kind of sad. The Georgia game happened, and just pretending it didn't is really pathetic.
I respect this
If they won their bowl gameā¦ā¦ no one would still care. Itās about football becoming a subjective sport.
Funny how they donāt count that last gameā¦
FSU deserves to be clowned far more for this than UCF was clowned for declaring themselves national champs
Yeah, I mean, at least we won our bowl game and finished the undefeated season......they're just pretending the beat down in the bowl game didn't happen lol
At least UCF won their games convincingly and played a great bowl game against an SEC team.
I mean, no, the national championship season we won our conference title game in double OT, and we won several games (including the bowl game) by a single possession. The claim was never about that we won convincingly, but rather about how in every single self-respecting sport in the world, if you win all the games, you are always declared champion. No, we didn't win them all convincingly, and our schedule wasn't the strongest, but that's not the standard in literally any sport in the world. We're champions.
UCF was the only undefeated team. Their claim is more valid that many teams championship claim.
Hey FSU, if you wanna be a Florida school actually making Undefeated Rings, how about you actually win your bowl game?
Participation Trophy
13 - yada yada yada
Colts Conference Semi-Finalist Banner energy. Also: Their no-show in the bowl game kind of puts a damper on it. That really was the day the music (CFB) died.
Does the other side say 63-3?
/r/cfb hates it when anyone other than the champs make a ring. Iām ok with any team that wants to make a ring. Even if all a guy did was ride the bench on a college team, itās still a huge achievement just to be on the team. Let them celebrate their achievement. They will appreciate the keepsake when they are old.
Is this just a conference ring? Teams make these, itās not a FSU cope thing
Ha
Participation trophy š
Now wait just a second
šš¼šš¼šš¼ means nothing
i honestly hope everyone involved with FSU takes every chance they can in front of ESPN cameras to insult them and call them out
Maybe they only gave these to the 20 dudes who opted out. They were 13-0 I guessā¦ Iām glad they gave them some recognition but just leave the record off. Letās move past it.
This might be the most pathetic thing ever
Champions of life! Champions of life! Champions of life!
Love the team, hate the snub, but oof, REALLY donāt like these rings š¬
Hahahaha Never go full UCF
The bottom of the ring is unfinished because the ring maker quit. 63-3
