I think FSU lost to Tech twice. They are a demoralized team with no QB and a defense with no confidence or discipline.
FSU 1,000% thought going into our game they would roll over us with no issue and continue to dominate everyone on their schedule just because they went 12-0 last year. Honestly, that opening drive TD they scored might’ve been the worst thing that could’ve happened to them all year. Lulled them into a false sense of security and confirmation bias, only to immediately get knocked down. From the looks of it, they still haven’t gotten back up.

They never considered what might happen if they lost to Tech, because they never considered they wouldn’t beat Tech in the first place

If you buy into the theory... I think the data backs this up... teams returning from Europe struggle in following game if it's the next weekend... perhaps FSU's performance reinforces that.

....and Ga Tech's performance v Ga St shows a team outperforming the norm.
Maybe staying an extra day in Ireland was not a good idea.
