It's probably best that I didn't put anything out during Tour of Duty or I'd have just sounded like another old man yelling at clouds, but it's time to get down to business and discuss spring ball now that the pads are about to go on.

In a whirlwind week that mercifully brought a close to Florida State's 40 days of trial, Mike Norvell chose to stay at Florida State rather than taking over the Alabama position after Nick Saban's retirement. Florida State is now in position to compete for titles for the foreseeable future, and Norvell is prepping for a revenge tour. Please rate and review this podcast! Every 5-star review helps!

Mike Norvell turned the Florida State program around in large part due to his strong messaging about hard work and emphasizing the importance of focusing on the processes necessary to foster excellence. The culture changed at FSU, and the results followed. But the CFP's decision not to invite Florida State is a big challenge to that culture, and this offseason will require strong messaging to retain that culture. The addition of DJ Uiagalelei should help, though. Please rate and review this podcast! Every 5-star review helps! Support the podcast via the Unconquered Podcast Patreon page. Film b ..read more

It went as badly as it looked like it might. Georgia not only outclassed Florida State's backups, all the bounces also went the Bulldogs' way, meaning the Noles were never competitive after the first quarter. Time to turn the page to the next season—FSU already did. Please rate and review this podcast! Every 5-star review helps! Support the podcast via the Unconquered Podcast Patreon page.

Both teams come into the Backup Bowl Presented by Opt-Outs with very different rosters than they had during the regular season, but Florida State has lost much more production due to being a more veteran team with higher-end NFL talent, while Georgia has always been the deeper team. Given all the opt-outs and portal entries, it's pretty obvious who that winds up favoring. The Noles have a puncher's chance, but they'll need Norvell to reach deep into his bag and have a lot break their way to win the game. Please rate and review this podcast! Every 5-star review helps!

Florida State has filed suit against the ACC, and the case against the ACC's Grant of Rights is stronger than anticipated. The 'Noles may need to send someone to the ACC HQ to cut out a piece of carpet before too long. Worth the Read: Mark T. Wilhelm, "Irrevocable but Unenforceable?

NOTE: This episode was recorded on Sunday shortly after the decision was made and for some reason didn't hit the feed when it should have. I've reposted it two days later. Apologies for the delay. I still stand by everything I said here. In leaving out 13-0 Florida State, the College Football Playoff committee compromised the integrity of the sport in pursuit of the most marketable matchups featuring bigger brands and conference ties. It's a farce that communicates that on-field results aren't really what matters and that the ACC is really a G6 conference rather than a P5 conference—despite it ..read more

Florida State had a historically elite defensive performance against a quality Louisville offense in a game that went almost exactly as our preview projected. This was the first time a Jeff Brohm offense has been held under 200 yards in five years, as FSU held the Cardinals to 6 points and 2.8 yards per play, a lower YPP average than Michigan gave up to Iowa's anemic offense. That was enough to carry the Noles to an ACC title, closing out an undefeated campaign and should put FSU in the College Football Playoff. Please rate and review this podcast!
