(10) Florida State vs. Georgia Tech, Saturday at Noon on ESPN - Aer Lingus College Football Classic

I don't understand the ranking of fsu. They have 8 returning starters. Four on Off and four on Def.

 

It is because they gave Georgia such a beating last year in their bowl game.

 

I remember sitting next to this 400 pound FSU fan in 2016 who would stand up, spread ass cheeks, laugh and fart in front of everyone nearly all game...it wasn't until I told her husband she needs to sit down did anyone have peace or fresh air.

 

You lived in Lehigh Acres. My sympathies, sir.

 

Really thier QB was the biggest lost. After he got hurt they were never the same.

 

Nah...they needed every ACC officiating call and balls bouncing just right to barely barely escape several should be losses last year with that very QB playing. They had no teams of top 20 quality on their schedule all year and when they got a chance to face their first decent team all year got jackhammered into oblivion in epic fashion. Don't kid yourself either Georgia had far more talented players sit out that game too. Hell even our sorry ass team nearly beat them last year....At least the Nolies aren't complaining about people stealing their signals as an excuse anymore.

 

An example of why I don’t like “move back you suck”. Trashy

 

Let's go Rambling Wreck!!!

 

They're (Their or there for you FSU grads) going to forget about the 60 point beat down quickly after beating mighty Georgia Tech and their protractors today...Surely the Georgia Tech tomato cans will be one of the toughest matchups on their schedule this year. On our schedule they would be one of the easiest but hey that's life in the ACC for you.

 

I noticed the ACC Commissioner kept referring to SWAC as “undefeated” last season. Do they have a different definition of that than the rest of us? I mean, if everyone gets to decides what losses “count” and which ones don’t, can’t everyone be undefeated?

 

I agree Skink. I’ve never liked that. So tacky it sounds like a Nole chant.

 

Their schedule isn’t exactly daunting. Only have to win a couple or three moderately tough games to go through the regular season undefeated. ACC officials will help with the close games.
But I agree with you eastwest. Ranking them so high, especially after the debacle of a bowl game against a certified top10 team, is a head scratcher. Maybe the pollsters are afraid of a lawsuit if they don’t give the Criminoles a lofty ranking.
I will add that I’m aware that FSU played Georgia with lots of opt outs and missing their QB. But Georgia wasn’t at 100% either and as I recall Kirby called off the dogs,(pun intended), in the second half and still continued to administer the beat down FSU so richly deserved.

 

Fsu WR Hykeem Williams minor injury out vs GT.

 

They just did it again when interviewing the new SWAC QB. Something along the lines of “You’re joining a team that went 13-0 last year.” No qualifier. Unbelievable.

 

Ignoring the bowl game beat down is pathetic, but that's what fsu is from top to bottom, pathetic.

 

It will be interesting to see how FSU does without their offensive coordinator.

 

Hopefully as well as we’ve done without one the last two years.
