The hit by the Florida defenders was so stupid. He was sliding and two guys hit him, one was rightly ejected for targeting, but the other was a half step slower or he may have targeted.  I was surprised Rodemaker went back in after he walked off woozy with under 4 min remaining.

It was 3rd and 14, 2 point FSU lead, he slid short of the line to gain, Florida may have got the ball back (unless FSU goes for it on 4th and 4) so it may have blown the game for Florida to win.  He did slide late, but come on guys, have a clue - be smarter than that.  Have some situational awareness fergodsakes.

Watching that live, it was crystal clear that there was absolutely no way that he didn't sustain a severe concussion from a hit of that magnitude. The back of his head slammed backwards into the turf from the force of two helmets as hard as I've ever seen in football.

The fact that FSU's coaching staff allowed him back in the game without anywhere close to sufficient time to perform a meaningful head injury assessment was absolutely appalling. It was incredibly dangerous.

I'd argue that if this is true about being down to QB3 and FSU finds a way to win, regardless of how the win looks or whether it passes the "optics/eye test," its all the more justification that they should be in the CFP.

I remember QB2 going out of the game for a few plays and then he came back. If he had concussion like symptoms why was he even allowed to come back? 

Hope he is OK. He seemed to be decent on the field with his throws.

Just because they are down to their 3rd string doesn't mean FSU is dead in the water. Could have another Cardele Jones situation on their hands for all we know. If Texas takes care of business in the Big 12 championship game it won't matter anyways, at least with regards to OSU sneaking in.

The only thing that I'm hoping to avoid is catching Oregon in the CFP semis. That would be a bad break, especially with Michigan's difficulties with tempo.
