Remember all those wounded voices complaining when FSU was left out of this year's playoffs? Remember all the politicians who rushed for a photo op?

The Bulldogs had a 35-point second period to coast to the easy win. Carson Beck threw two touchdown passes -- but he threw only 18 passes in the entire game. Kendall Milton rushed for 104 yards -- but he carried only nine times. For the game, Georgia outrushed FSU 372-63.

This was nothing like the FSU team that had been 12-0 on its way to winning the ACC title. Thirty players -- including 14 starters -- opted out of the game.
