This announcement comes just a week after the Seminoles were snubbed and many ESPN personalities tried to discredit the team’s resume.
These facts were not lost on Florida State fans. Many took to social media to react to College GameDay’s decision.
ESPN: As a make good we’re going to give Georgia Tech/Florida State a coveted GameDay spot. In Ireland, though, because those fans will just be happy to get any American football game.

ESPN and College Gameday surely going to back out if this decision right?
These aren’t FSU casuals traveling to Ireland. These are people who support the program with their pockets and they aren’t going to let ESPN and the GameDay cowards forget.. https://t.co/xQmkHiqTfq

The last time FSU hosted College GameDay in Tallahassee? Oct. of 2014
I guess going across the pond in Week 0 would make it tough to justify doing another FSU game in 2024, but we’ll see. Me thinks a return trip to Tallahassee is unlikely.
