Rodemaker struggled was 12/25 and 134 yds against UF. 224 total team yard vs 5 win Florida.


Dude had 4 days to practice as the 1. Give him and a good coach staff a month. That defense is legit. They’ve got better WRs than Michigan. Probably 3 better than any of Michigan’s. Got a better RB too. Why not give them the chance to win playing ball control with a smothering defense? I’m sure their QB can hand the ball off every play if the 2nd half just as well as McCarthy.

Because there were other teams that had their starting QBs and had already proven they can beat elite teams.

Everyone in the playoffs has beaten a playoff caliber or NY6 bowl team.

Texas beat Bama
Washington Beat Oregon twice
Michigan beat PSU &OSU
Bama beat Ole Miss &UGA

FSU didn't even play that caliber of team all year

The best team the played was LSU which was the Bama's 4th best opponent.

They finished 5th in the SEC and had a historically bad defense. Their second best opponent lost to a 3-5 Kentucky team.

That's just not good enough.

Because if they give FSU a chance, then they would have had to justify putting Bama in over UT.

I bet $1,000 that had UGA won, FSU would have been in and not UT.
