FSU should pass us.

Putting us at #1 is the easiest way to make sure we lose to USF.

 

[AntoneM]

We've been savin' em up for 3 years.

:jnc

 

[MightyHealthy]

FSU's next opponent is @USF. The same USF that lost to Ball St. today.

Don't count on USF to lose, they will find a way to disappoint you.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

31-7 at halftime, not bad

 

[impirius]

FSU should pass us.

TDs surrendered to FAU:
Bama 1
FSU 0

I don't get this reference. Can someone explain it to me?

jakncoke liked smilies. They were taken away. Jnc raged. Jnc became the tag for smilies/lol.

 

[AntoneM]

Arizona has been inside Oregon's 10 four times too.

Unfortunately, since we aren't in the SEC, the story will be about how overrated the Pac 12 is, despite both of these team being near the top of total offense this season. This is seriously an impressive defensive battle.

 

[Tim_South]

So many upsets should've been upsets (WVU fan here).

Where does ND end up? Who do they jump?

Ha! I didn't make the connection between him and jnc.

Speaking of which, did PSU beat Temple?

So is FSU back?

We usually beat Clemson at home.

This man gets it.

 

[outunderthestars]

So is FSU back?

I'd say so. Clemson isn't a top 10 team, but they are still a damn good team and FSU outcoached and outplayed them.

Pitt & USF are very good at playing spoilers. They win big games that are meaningless for their teams, but important for others. They shit the bed, when it's an important game for their team.

 

[Yaboosh]

If this game were on the road it would be more indicative of us being "back" or not. But if we were on the road we would have lost.

 

[Meier]

So is FSU back?

(*knocks on wood*)

 

[Goro Majima]

Notre Dame is going to end up in the top 10 most likely...

Gross.

 

[impirius]

So is FSU back?

"FSU is back" is back!

 

[AlteredBeast]

Can't complain about Nebraska's game today, 73-7, and the 7 was given up with the bottom of the bench on the field.

Obviously, you can't really gauge a team well against an FCS team...unless you are Colorado, Michigan, or Kansas!

but honestly, Nebraska hasn't performed this well even against FCS teams in a LONG time.

 

[outunderthestars]

Notre Dame is going to end up in the top 10 most likely...

Gross.

agreed.

Georgia gave up 3 tds to FAU.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

So is FSU back?

I understand the context of this question, but as I was explaining to the wife just today, I don't like this aspect of cfb. FSU is top 10, and now coming off a win over another top 10. Notre Dame is going to be top 8 next week.

Like how someone posted that SVP quote, "I talk about the SEC because it's relevant; I don't talk about irrelevant things like Notre Dame." What a jackassy, ratings-grab thing to say. Sure, in some grand historical context FSU and Notre Dame are far from "back"; in the context of - I dunno what you call it, I think some people refer to it as "the present," in other circles they refer to it as "right now" - they're both top 10 college football programs, yes. How is this even arguable?

Lowered expectations.

2. For those interested, like me, in muting commentary in favor of natural game atmosphere, I found last week it IS possible - two requirements: you have a surround-sound setup; two, the game itself is in surround-sound. Unplug center speaker, unplug subwoofer, DONE. Full-game audio - the bands, the crowd, the hits - NO COMMENTARY.

I used to do this at my parents house several years back... haven't been able to do it since because I've never paid for cable myself

But Louisville almost lost to FIU, which we destroyed. I'm pretty sure FIU is better than FAU too. I'll just pencil us in the orange bowl here.

Only 4 SEC teams in the top 10? we need at least 6 + Notre Dame +FSU + 2 more teams in there for filler (preferably from the SEC )

It's GLORIOUS. I was like a pig in shit last week when I "discovered" it.

 

[outunderthestars]

I am not a college football expert, but after watching FSU's second half tonight, I have to ask....

Who can really match up well with them at this point?

edit: Where do you see Clemson falling? still in the top 20?

 

[mre]

I'm just predictilating. Blame the voters for the SEC bias.

13-0 at half I'll take!

Bama's D.

I think Clemson's offense is going to be the fiercest that Florida State will play this year. particularly since they don't play Georgia Tech unless they meet in the ACC championship game, but another strong defense will be able to stop FSU's offense.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Oregon - Arizona halftime timing was perfect...now it's Belfort/Jones time. Arizona has some solid D.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember FSU looked pretty good in September last year, then Wake Forest happened.

 

[The Outsider]

Florida's undefeated. Put them in there!

 

[Yaboosh]

No, we were rocked by OU week two.

 

[truly101]

No, we were rocked by OU week two.

Thats right. FSU has been coming back for so long, I get mixed up with the times they ended up not coming back after all.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

No, we were rocked by OU week two.

And then Clemson in week 3.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I may be wrong but I seem to remember FSU looked pretty good in September last year, then Wake Forest happened.

Wake was the third L of the three in a row. Lost at home to Oklahoma (and lost Manuel), then lost in consecutive weeks by scores of 35-30 on the road at Clemson and Wake Forest.

 

[Yaboosh]

I think the difference for us this year is our running game.

You couldn't rank ND higher?

 

[chuckddd]

Four games into his Lobo coaching career, Bob Davie has already matched Mike Locksley's win total. Progress.

It will be funny as shit if they get a first place vote.

FSU would get rocked by Bama's defense
