Social media reacts to FSU football losing vs Georgia in Orange Bowl

So, that happened.

The Florida State football team came into Saturday's Orange Bowl against Georgia believing it deserved a chance in the College Football Playoff. They finished the regular season 13-0 and won the ACC championship thanks to a dominating defense that overcame an offense that struggled without Heisman candidate quarterback Jordan Travis.

The Seminoles were snubbed by the CFP committee, and the first half of the Orange Bowl gave FSU detractors plenty of ammunition. The Bulldogs ran up and down the field to a 42-3 halftime lead, outgaining FSU 383-185 and averaging more than 11 yards per play. FSU freshman quarterback Brock Glenn went 7 of 22 for 121 yards and a late interception.

The Seminoles went on to lose 63-3, their worst defeat in program history.

FAMU alum and comedian Roy Wood Jr. asked Twitter if the blowout proved Florida State didn't belong in the playoff, or if it's just a result of the dozens of opt-outs the Seminoles suffered before the game.

The reason for the blowout can be debated, but a lot of fans on social media took the opportunity to laugh at Florida State. "So FSU" and "Yeah FSU" were among the Orange Bowl-related trending topics on the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

Let's see what they had to say.
