FSU in ATL

[buzz_wiser©]

I dont think Jimbo Fisher and FSU will ever want to come back to ATL for a game.
Houston has them off their game today!
Is the ACC really this bad as a whole for the season? Clemson luckily is one bright spot.

The ACC was very weak this season and if I was going to bet I think OU will beat C U by 10 to 14 pts and if OU plays their best they will blow CU off the field

I think OU and the big12 may be a little overrated as well, i'm hoping Clemson can get it done

Trams play 12 to 13 games, take a month off during the top holiday season of the year and then try to play another game. The whole idea is a farce!

I don't mind hyperbole so much unless the speaker actually believes it. This is just silliness. And, probably, wishful thinking.

... well that just sucked for FSU and the ACC

Yep. This is why, despite the lengthening of the season, the football championship series in FCS is sooooo much better. Personally, I think the whole business is going that way. True, the bowl season would be longer and we'd all have to get adjusted to the, say, Independence Bowl being an initial game, but, shoot, the fans are going to the games regardless of when they are played and, for the minor bowls, the fans of the two teams are the only ones to show up. I say: let's cut to the chase and start a 16 team elimination two weeks after the regular season is over.

Hard to agree with overall post ( and have seldom found anything In the very few posts with which I can agree. ), but ou could thrash cu.
Son was a ga with ou about 15 years ago - his contacts say 32 pierne (rb from suburb of austin) could really put on show if defense tries to stop pass. Ou has two good rb. Also ou defense ( even though all conference dt is out w concussion) , will suprise.

Hate to agree w ross but he actually put a number in a post.

The obsession with how well a conference does in bowl games is one of the dumbest things about this sport. Conference loyalty and conference perception are completely asinine. All it does it let **** teams ride on the coattails of teams that have actually done something. People should root for their schools. Not the conference.

Kinda got to pull for your conference. How many times do you hear kids wanting to play in the SEC because of the perception and exposure. Sad but true

I wrote F$U off when Golson announced he wouldn't be there.

It was good, I guess, that L'ville won but I have no respect for the coach or the school so I got nuthin out of that. UNC gives up one-third of a MILE on the ground; NC St looked like crap. Pitt loses to Navy. Geez.

And don't even go there with duke - I hope they lose by 1,000.

So, Clemson is all I got left.

Louisville coach is trash when it comes to morals and commonly accepted virtues.

NCST one was obvious from a mile away. Shouldn't even be allowed to play the non conference schedule they had this year. Even we would have had a shot at bowl eligibility with their schedule

Looks like Big Game Bob is more like Big Game Boob!

 

[iceeater1969]

Never agree with b Ross! He is always wrong. Clemson is fast.

I will never pull for Miami, VPI, and Duke. Unless the dwagz are their opponent.

At one point the talking heads said something to the effect "doesn't look like FSU even wants to be here..."

 

[LongforDodd]

While not today, FSU certainly is the better team, aren't they? Perhaps a little lack of coaching and focus caught them flat?

Certainly the SEC-ACC script was flipped from '14 to '15. But I had the same type of crazy glue reaction to Oklahoma on extra points: their LOS seemed to barely move on the snap. A couple of times just kind of stood up and watched. Very odd.

I hope they can work something out to make the field more representative of the actual season. I don't pretend to follow the game closely -- I do GT and figure I'm done -- but only from reading and comparing, somewhat, MSU had little business being in the final four, and Oklahoma should have been matched against Alabama in the first game. (As it turned out the committee served up a fastball right in Dabo's wheelhouse and he rode the disrespect card hard for two weeks in getting his team prepared. Shades of Paul Johnson.

But a larger field would help to further eliminate subjective bias from the process, and if MSU were included, then so would the other 1-2 loss teams -- Stanford, for instance. Swinney has a number of factors at play against Alabama: a direct link to Bear Bryant through Gene Stallings, and his team won on what essentially was a popular vote. His players, thanks to the playoff, can win it on the field. That's where it ought to be.
