How do some of you see us stacking up against Florida State?
- Thread starter Loam
- Start date
Good offense, very questionable defense. They wouldn't stop us very well at all. The one thing that they may find success at though is in their passing game. As much of a punk as JW is, he is a surgical passer, good on his feet, and fairly clutch when the chips are down. That's a matchup in their favor against our secondary.
I think we'd win decisively though: 34-20.

Why do you feel the need to play a team that plays nothing but chumps all season long? They'll get what's coming to them this season, whether by your hand or by someone else's.
Well that's one good thing to take away from these playoffs - even though I think FSU was better last year than they are this season, I don't think they would have won the NC last year had we had a playoff. I think FSU lucked out facing Auburn, perhaps the weakest team matchup-wise that they could have faced between Auburn, Alabama, and Michigan State. And Auburn still almost took 'em. Only maybe Stanford and Baylor would have been weaker against FSU, and I think it would have been unlikely that they would have made the final cut.
At least under a 4-team playoff format, a pretender has to make it through two games against decent opponents instead of just one.
I don't think this is really saying much, either. ND's best 2 games are a W vs a 3 loss Stanford team and a loss to FSU who doesn't have a signature win, IMHO. I think that both FSU and ND should be at the back end of the top 10.
Unless they put 4 SEC teams in the playoffs that's going to be the case anyway.
Like FSU or not, they are the only team to be beat a SEC team in a National Championship game since 1996. They buys them more credibility than any other team outside of the SEC.

Three reasons for me:
1. I would love to see our team pound Winston for multiple reasons.
2. I would love to see our team win a NC beating the team that Auburn couldn't. Lots of fun poke backs when my Auburn friends get uppity.
3. It would hurt my feelings getting an easier route. We have been beat up with injuries all year.
I believe LSU would be a tougher game for us.
I think Florida would finish no better than 5th in the West, and probably would not win the East if they played in the SEC this season. But we're going to be stuck with them making the playoff this year unless Louisville can somehow trip them up Thursday night.

Wouldn't it be nice to hear the war chanters saying for the next 30 years "If Jameis hadn't got hurt"?
Louisville defense is pretty solid. JW has never scored less than 30 points in a game as a starter and Louisville D has not allowed 30 pts. in a game this season... Here's hoping...
Even if Florida continues to stumble and bumble along, they will still pull out all the stops for The Winstons on 11/29. Probably wishful thinking but they should be healthy and motivated coming off a home game against Eastern Kentucky. I will pray to the voodoo gods for Bazza's team between now and then.
I wouldn't count out Miami either. They are capable of rising up at home against the Noles.Even if Florida continues to stumble and bumble along, they will still pull out all the stops for The Winstons on 11/29.

I'd love to see a re-appearance of the Cane Thang/Thug U show up and play as dirty as possible.
I forgot they haven't played Miami.
Florida and Miami have enough talent to give FSU a game if they can figure out how to pull their collective heads out of their collective rears.
