And that is WVU
Final AP rankings for WVU... 2011 #17, 2010 unranked, 2009 #25, 2008 #23
Bowls: 2010 - lost to NC State 23-7
2009 - lost to FSU 33-21
West Virginia record against AP ranked opponents: 40-92-2
When you suck, you got to hold onto those 3 BCS bowl wins. It is the only way you can try and prove they are a good team in recent history (5 years back).


See above big talker. West Virginia couldn't beat 2 ACC teams on the big stage. Again congrats on beating Clemson one year and losing the previous two years to ACC teams.

Oh and in case you weren't aware... Wake went down like an FCS team. 52-0. Sorry about the blowout. Good luck with your FCS opponent.
Very good, now you just need 2 more to tie us, or your conference one more to tie us. We will talk when you have that.

Despite being so bad we are more succesful than your whole conference including FSU. Also the last time you beat us was 2010 when we had an interim couch Stewart. WVU was not good that year.

Also stop bragging about beating Wake. Nobody is impressed. Dont apologize for the blowout it was to be expected and it doesnt prove anything. You beat a cupcake ACC team and anything less would just show that you suck. Any ranked team would have been able to do so. LOL, Are you seriously using this game as an indicator of how great FSU is? WVU killed JMU but I am not going to brag about that. Sorry for that blowout. If WVU was in the ACC WVU would be winning by lots of blowouts. When you beat a real team, come back to try and impress me, but you arent facing any this season, unless you make a BCS bowl. The only semi-good teams you face is VT, which just lost to Pitt, and Clemson. So like I said when you have another BCS trophy talk to me.

BTW, VT lost to Pitt, a mediocre team in the Big E. VT is considered one of the best teams in the ACC, if not the best. Just goes to show you that the ACC is a joke and even the Big E without WVU can show up the ACC. In fact this Pitt lost to Youngstown, and were the laughing stock of the Big E, but now the ACC is the laughingstock of the NCAA.

You really need to grow up...it sounds like you're 12. Talk about a laughing stock...

FSU beat up two cupcakes, now they're NC contenders?

In some sense, you're coming across like an ACC homer. I assume you're a Tarheel fan by your username, but your making a ridiculous case for why FSU should be in the Top 5. Beating two FCS schools in the first two weeks, doesn't show me anything. If FSU played at least one school with the same competitiveness as what LSU, Bama, USC and Georgia played and had the same results as they did against Murray St. and Savannah St., I might be able to agree with you.
They'd be middle of the pack best case every year in the SEC. Along with Miami they havne't done anything in ages against terrible competition.

They haven't done anything in over a decade and their program support is pretty average.

In 2005 they lost too (30-18) when you had that high powered offense under Rodriguez. Please stop with the excuses. WVU can't beat FSU. Proven by history.

We already have one, which WVU has been nowhere close to one. We could taste it 3 times since the BCS started (i.e. in the Big Game). As for the Wake game... we held them to 126 yards. WVU allowed JMU, an FCS opponent, to rack up 300 yards. They allowed Marshall to post 545 yards. Just saying.
Fun Fact: We allowed our first 3 opponents COMBINED only 310 yards. That is 10 more than your one FCS opponent.

I guess you don't know much about Virginia Tech. Let me inform you. VT is known to lose to a terrible team each year. JMU and East Carolina are just some examples. This year their offense has 4 new starting offensive linemen. Their "offense" went pro i.e. David Wilson. Beamer ball is about the run and no guys have been able to step up yet. Defense can only take you so far. Do you really think they were the best team in the ACC...

Like I said WVU has a better BCS record than WVU. If they are so much better they should have a better record too. FSU is in a glorified division II conference and cant get any real division I conference to take them. 2 victories years apart doesnt really prove anything. BCS trophies do.

Nobody is impressed by your victory over the cupcake ACC team wake forest. In fact I would call it a failure. You should have been able to win by over 100 points with your last string team playing. They are pure cupcake, like every team in your conference. You are a conference of sheep, and FSU is like a poodle. It might be weak, but it can bully sheep. However, if there was a wolf in your conference like any of the good teams, including WVU, it would be a slaughter for the ACC, and that is why FSU and the ACC gets slaughtered almost every BCS bowl. Keep bragging about beating wake in football it is like a overweight out of shape 70 year old man bragging about beating up a 4 year old kid with down Syndrome. It is going to impress no one, especially the UFC type fighters of the Big 12 and the SEC.

VT is probably the most successful team of the BCS era for the ACC. You lost to Pitt which is an average Big E team. This is a team that lost to division II, perhaps even division III teams. It just goes to show how pathetic the ACC is. Your main rival cant even beat Pitt. The only person who agrees with you is a tarheel booster. Being from the ACC you get no respect among anyone in the NCAA or even this forum. Hell you only got 2 votes in the poll, I imagine one was you and the other was probably the tarheel.

At the end of the day actions speak louder than words and WVU has more success than your whole conference. You can make excuses but until your record can match WVU, you have nothing. Notice this argument is WVU vs the WHOLE ACC and not FSU. One team vs a conference. If we did WVU vs the Big 12 it would only be so much more hopeless for you. That is how sad your conference and your team is.

You don't even know what you post anymore.
- "WVU has a better BCS record than WVU" - Nice Zinger
- "Keep bragging about beating wake in football it is like a overweight out of shape 70 year old man bragging about beating up a 4 year old kid with down Syndrome" - How old are you? Again, Marshall... yes crappy old Conference USA Marshall... put 545 yards against you. It is going to be a long season for you. Maybe you can make shirts to thank them like Mizzou did for their SEC homies.
- "It is going to impress no one, especially the UFC type fighters of the Big 12 and the SEC."
Yea, we weren't impressed either.

Greg Reid laid Marcus Lattimore out - YouTube
or

FSU drains the Swamp 2011 - YouTube
Fun Fact: Alabama couldn't defeat FSU in the BCS era.
- "You lost to Pitt which is an average Big E team" - My team didn't lose to Pitt.
- "At the end of the day actions speak louder than words and WVU has more success than your whole conference" - They haven't had anywhere close to the success of Florida State. If measure by BCS bowl wins, sure congrats on how you measure success. I and others measure success on National Championships and final Rankings, which we kill WVU in all facets.
- "Notice this argument is WVU vs the WHOLE ACC and not FSU." - Actually it has been more focused on FSU, which again West Virginia has never beaten.
- "BCS trophies do." - Again, BCS trophy refers to the National Championship, which we have and you don't. Your trophy isn't any better than our Gator Bowl trophy. Don't believe me... Let me google that for you
