Link: How Would FSU perform in the SEC? (Prediction machine)
- Thread starter Ldlane
- Start date
I tend to defer to record, at least within the power 5 conferences, but there's no question at all that if FSU loses, they should fall below quite a few one loss teams. The fact that they are (luckily) undefeated is the only justification for such a high ranking.
They knew what they were doing when they chose the ACC over the SEC when they chose a conference to join. There is no way they would be living as high on the hog as they are now in the SEC. I don't even know if the teams in the sec west will be surviving with the round robin they are all having to go through.
Agreed - if they win out then they have earned the right to lose in the first round of the playoff.
Reminds me of how I like to "fix" Bo Schembechler's most famous quote: "Those who stay will be Rose Bowl runners up"
They beat the SEC champ last year and they're undefeated since then. That's all that matters right now, whether I like it or not.
I would welcome meeting FSU in the first round of the playoffs, though. If that scenario were to play out, we would treat them like we did Notre Dame. I would personally enjoy every second of that.

It there are two SEC teams in the playoff's then rest assured they will play each other in the first round. The committee would not want an all SEC final.
If two SEC teams get in, neither will care who they play in the first round. Only the fans will notice or care about something like this.
East or West? Which team do you swap them with?
Really, you see this said a lot about a lot of teams and there is merit to the argument, but no way of knowing. I doubt seriously any of us thought (I know I didn't) that Missouri or A&M would have done as well to date. I think they would be a strong program with at least a loss or two every year and a down year here and there. I think the team they have now is talented enough to probably win the East and be at least as strong as LSU is right now in the West with an outside shot at winning that side too.

My apologies. I did read the link afterwards, but was just reacting to the thread title. They have already proven they can beat Auburn. They would have had them at home too. They could have had trouble with LSU and possibly TAM at that point . No telling, but I could easily see them undefeated at this point.
IF, they were in the SEC they would be like Georgia. A winning program going no where.
Thought this was a different season? 2014, not 2013. Just sayin' ... I only post here.
They would probably perform the same way they do in the ACC. Unfortunately for them , that sort of performance would cost them a couple of losses in the SEC.
I'm not sure how they'd perform, but I bet Spurrier's pre-game press conferences would be comedy gold.
