I can't believe I am saying this... But I like them being good again. So I'm rooting for them. Maybe Im drinking the kool-aid. I think they are poised to be there in the end if Oregon or the Big12 teams lose. I'm not saying the are better or more deserving... I could just seeing it play out that way.

Plus I'm digging those special Uni's...

And if you think UF has the toughest road, they would count as an SEC team so you are arguing for my statement. And how can you argue ND still has to play OK when so does WV and K-State already beat them.
OK wasn't the only team I mentioned though. I also mentioned Stanford and USC. ND's strength of schedule doesn't rest on just playing Oklahoma.

Yes.

The crux of the matter is ND doesnt play an undefeated Natty contender... So bringing up their schedule is a moot point.

No Big Ten teams made the coaches poll.


First time that's ever happened.

On the flip-side... Half of the SEC conference is ranked. With 10 teams having a legitimate shot to make a bowl game.

I understand that there was hope this year was going to be an exception to them sucking, along with the rest of the ACC, but atlas not this year.

Pity.

There is always next year.

Also congrats to the wolfpack.

Perhaps now all the FSU boosters will shut up.
FSU blew their chance to really show people they are back being that top level team. Another loss to NC state, I think this was their 45th or 5th time losing to them in the last 7 or so years. They will still win the ACC, but their National Title hopes are pretty much gone.

Winning the ACC in football is hardly a big accomplishment.

I do like how all the ACC boosters disappeared after hyping up FSU and talking trash to the SEC, big 12, PAC, and big 10.

Ill day this for FSU. They at least have a shot at being back one day unlike Miami.

They have potential. The problem is their conference is dragging them down and they can't get out.

I also dont dislike FSU. It was really just one obnoxious poster.
