That performance by Deondre Francois way electric ..
419 yards passing
85 rushing yards

That's just insane. Instantly in the Heisman race.

FSU has the real deal at QB, he is raw but the raw talent i have seen now is very impressive. I am glad we are not playing them this year. He was not afraid to thread the needle at all and that will cost him soon.

Yep, gave up on this one when Miss was up big. Totally missed the comeback. Got a good night's sleep tho so there's that.

Hate to see FS"U" win, love to ess-eee-see lose.

OK, there is bias in these numbers below since they incorporate last year's results too. But not counting last night, JHowell has SEC #1 at Power Ranking of .669 and ACC #4 at .612. {Bottom of http://www.jhowell.net/cf/cf2016.htm .... it'll be interesting to see how the one game last night changes things. Shouldn't be much since both were highly ranked and the higher ranked home team won.}

But that is a decrease in one week of .009 for the SEC and an increase of .006 for ACC. Bottom line is that when you win tougher games OOC, the conference gets better, when you lose the conference goes down. Playing cupcakes hurts. So just win baby.

We are at #46.

No the difference was they forgot they didn’t actually have a defense and started playing a conservative offense which they also don’t have. And the fact they decided to start tackling receivers on underthrown deep balls.

The emperor has no clothes. The book on the first week is closed. SEC 6-6. "It's only one week" laments Herbstreit as he chokes back the tears of fear. The SEC played the toughest slate. Give them credit for that. Dominant conferences win games against anybody, or should anyway.

If you want to know what happened to UNC you don't have to look any further than this chain of events that lasted about 2 minutes: Catch the kickoff right next to the sideline and run out of bounds at the 12 instead of letting it bounce out and taking over at the 35 yard line. Having a ridiculous Illegal Receiver Down Field call that was totally bogus, negating a positive play, and then going crazy on the refs for an additional half the the distance to the goal penalty. Setting up a screen in your own EZ and still trying to complete the pass 4 yards deep in a crowd. Both players had empty heads, the guy throwing it instead of grounding it and the guy catching it instead of slapping it to the ground. Somebody must be still writing their papers for them. The game flipped on this sequence. A poossible positive drive, continuing their momentum was replaced by a UGA defensive safety.

It was a good weekend for the Special Ed Conf. Here are the results so far comparing our conference to theirs through 2 weeks of action in out of conference games:

vs NON POWER 5 FBS: SEC (7-3), ACC (5-1)
vs FCS: SEC (4-0), ACC (8-1)
vs BIG 10: SEC (0-1), ACC (2-0)
vs PAC 12: SEC (2-0), ACC (0-1)
vs BIG 12: SEC (1-1), ACC (0-0)
HEAD to HEAD (2-2)

So going against other power 5 schools so far the mighty SEC has a 5-4 record for 55.6%, the ACC is 4-3 for 57.1%.
Give the academically challenged credit for playing two more games than us so far in the P5.

Winning percentage against ALL out of conference combined: SEC (16-7) 70%, ACC (17-5) 77%

Sure looks like just another conference to me. I will continue this weekly rant until either the hype stops or the SEC starts earning the praise.

Upate After Week 3:

vs NON PWR 5 FBS: SEC 11-3, ACC 6-3
vs FCS: SEC 4-0, ACC 10-1
vs BIG10: SEC 0-1, ACC 2-1
vs PAC 12: SEC 2-0, ACC 0-1
vs BIG 12: SEC 1-1, ACC 0-1
HEAD to HEAD: ACC 3 wins, SEC 2 wins

So: against FBS power 5: SEC 5-5, ACC 5-5

Give the SEC credit for scheduling more non power 5 FBS games and fewer FCS than ACC.
Give ACC credit for a winning record vs SEC

The fcs should even up. They like to schedule a majority of theirs before rivalry week rather than at the start of the season. I think we have unc playing 2 fcs schools again though
