Personally I am hoping Tennessee wins so that Georgia gives u a better game in the sec title game. Even without gurley I think they are stronger than mizzou. So if the university acts slowly on this allegation perhaps it could be said it's for the greater good. I support Dew in this.

FSU is such garbage. They only have 2 wins against current Top 25 teams: #22 Clemson and #24 Louisville. The only teams they have beaten by more than 2 touchdowns are The Citadel, Wake Forest, and Syracuse. They have four wins that were within 6 points.

 

You are NOT an all world football team if you are just a few bad plays away from being 6-4 or 7-3 in that ishtty conference.

 

I'm not saying I disagree with them being ranked so high, because yah, they are undefeated, but jeez...

 

Yeah, we're terrible - FSU is the only team to have beaten 4 teams in the F/+ top 25. No other team has beaten even 3. :roll:

The same F/+ rankings have Florida State #10, so if you're going to use them to prop up their schedule you should probably also acknowledge that they say FSU belongs nowhere near the playoff.

I could never have imagined that a CFB season where FSU is undefeated would be quite so miserable. Instead of being able to enjoy it, it's been full of false/unproven allegations, NYT investigations, and speculation about how bad we suck in spite of being undefeated.

 

If we were to win the inaugural playoff, it wouldn't be joyous, but rather a giant "F YOU" to everyone for doubting how good we are. So I really hope it happens, just so the story can change to it "being a down year for CFB."

 

The mounting excuses are getting to be ridiculous, especially when they completely discredit every other team in the top 5/6 of the playoff rankings - but they only seem to apply to us.

 

Whatever. Just keep winning.

People are skeptical because FSU isn't really dominating anyone they play and are squeaking by some teams. FSU is barely half as good as they were last year.

 

Last year FSU beat their opponents by an average of 39.4 points. This year they are beating their opponents by an average of 14.2 points. Last year through 10 games they gave up 111 points. This year through 10 games they've given up 228 points. The only teams they have beaten by more than two TD's are Wake, The Citadel, and Syracuse.

Or any of dozens of other schools, for that matter.

This year through 10 games they've given up 228 points. The only teams they have beaten by more than two TD's are Wake, The Citadel, and Syracuse.

 

We play the teams on our schedule this year, with the team we have this year. And we're undefeated, unlike all but one other team - and no other P5 teams. Our schedule, overall, has been as tough as anyone else outside of the SECw. Even taking into account that the OOC opponents scheduled haven't lived up to their expectations, we still have one of the toughest OOC schedules in the nation. And all we do is win.

 

I still want to know what is the basis for the SEC being so highly regarded. Their major OOC wins are LSU beating Wisconsin (coming back like FSU did - oh, the irony), West Virginia (are they even top 25 anymore?), Kansas State (with Auburn having 3 losses already, how good of a win is this?), and Clemson (who we happened to beat without our starting QB). Heck, lowly IU managed to beat the likely SECe champs.

 

Here is the list for the entire conference, in all its glory: http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2014-07-02/sec-non-conference-schedule-rankings-georgia-tennessee-missouri-arkansas-south-carolina-auburn-alabama

 

poor guy, buck up

 

Yeah, probably deserved, but it's irritating.

Being a Cubs fan is bad enough.

 

false/unproven allegations. Awesome.

 

I'm going to assume that you're honing in on the rape allegations, since it's the most serious of all. Knowing who I know, law enforcement was closer to charging her with filing a false police report than Jameis was to facing actual charges.

 

If it's something else, please let me know.

No that came out easy and it worked. As long as there are people who love college football more than we hate teens who were once the subject of an accusation it works.

She was teasing a college football player, just blatantly teasing him!

 

Besides, it's the woman's responsibility to not get raped, she just wanted to make a name for herself by getting violated.
