After complaining all offseason about how they were snubbed from the College Football Playoff, No. 10 Florida State took the field against Georgia Tech in Ireland and lost. College football is back!
That is right, the Seminoles, who have stuck their nose up in the air since being snubbed by the CFP committee last season, just lost to Georgia Tech, which makes them 0-2 against teams from the state of Georgia in 2024.
AN UPSET AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW ๐

Georgia Tech came in and played like they didn't even care that Florida State was the No. 10 ranked team in the country, and they probably didn't. A last game-winning field goal to win the game was the perfect way to start off this college football season.
So of course with a big upset comes great reactions on social media. So here are some of the best reactions of fan absolutely losing their minds over this amazing game.

Aidan Birr will be welcomed back at Georgia Tech as a hero. Birr has every right to walk around like he is all that because his golden leg just took down the No. 10 team in the country.
Georgia Tech got exactly 0 votes in AP preseason poll.

Everyone was sleeping on Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets had a big win over UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl last season and kept the momentum going. Something tells me they should get some votes in the AP poll now.
Georgia Tech is my national championship favorite rn

Woah, let's not get ahead of ourselves now, this is literally the first game of the season, we have a lot more to go.
First game of the year and Florida State loses to unranked Georgia Tech.

GT had previously lost 15 straight to top 10 teams. Last top 10 team they beat: Florida State. ๐
Who had them ranked in the top 10?!
Georgia Tech: 24
Florida State: 21
You can't make this stuff up, it was fate.
Bet against Brent Key and Georgia Tech at your own risk

Brent Key and Georgia Tech just put the rest of the ACC and honestly college football on notice, the Yellow Jackets are coming.

This is tough, one fanbase was always going to have to go home as losers, but I bet you that Florida State fans didn't have this on their bingo cards for 2024.

Words can not even describe how well this meme fits Georgia Tech right now. They definitely just made a name for themselves, and everyone saw it.

College Gameday guest picker WWE star Sheamus was the only one to pick Georgia Tech to win the game. I guess he had a lot more faith in the Yellow Jackets than anyone else did.

If you have a friend who is a Florida State dan, you may want to call and check on them. They also may want their privacy during this tough time right now.
Itโs time for the Big Ten to invite Georgia Tech.

The stat says it all, Brent Key just stepped onto the scene and everyone knows who he is now.
