Well, it didn’t take long for a top-10 team to fall, as No. 10 Florida State was upset by unranked Georgia Tech on a last second 44-yard field goal, 24-21.
Notre Dame’s Week 11 opponent just lost a ton of luster, as the Seminoles were just one of three preseason ranked opponents that the Irish were set to face. While you should expect FSU to still be inside the top-25 after this gut-wrenching loss, it’s still one that hurts the Irish in the long run.
Social media wasn’t kind to Florida State following the upset, so find out below the best reactions to the Seminoles upset loss to the Yellow Jackets.

Lawyered up
Florida State is preparing to sue the Republic of Ireland.

If you don’t remember, FSU is suing the ACC due to a buyout clause which has kept them in the conference. Not sure if you can’t beat a mid-level team that you should be trying to leave.
