Va Tech will not get past Florida St in Jacksonville for the ACC Championship game. Florida St is already about 99% in the inagural ACC title game ( they would have to lose to Virginia and Clemson and Boston College would have to win all their remaining confernce games for FSU to miss out).

Va Tech must beat Miami to get in. I belive Va Tech will win vs miami. But they aint beating Florida State in Jacksonville. I already have my tickets to the ACC title game.

FSU needs to beat Virginia away, Clemson away and Florida away. Their other games are gimmes for a team of their caliber. The Florida game is the real stickler. If they can win all 3 of those, they get to Jacksonville undefeated. It isnt crazy to think they can do it. They will be favored by at least 8-9 at Virginia and Clemson. Florida is a REAL tough one. But they may prevail.

Va Tech in the ACC title game is a toughie, but I know what would happen. FSU wins games like this routinely. Miami ( usually) or Florida ( happened once in the 90's) can sabotage our best teams, but not out of state lackeys like Va Tech. It aint going to happen for them.

Then its on to the rose bowl vs USC? :suomi:

Or maybe I should have another? :drink:
Actually I like VA Tech against FSU, I believe thats a winner for the Hokies

I agree. FSU might lose to Clemson.

USC will not be beaten, Kermit. But to say the Big Ten is weak....c'mon brother. I know you aren't drinking the strong stuff tonight, are you?

no offense taken Kermit, we are having a good time here. FSU is not the juggernaut USC is so their road to the Rose Bowl is uncertain. but do heed my warning. IF FSU gets that far, look out. we aint scared of no one.

we stand toe to toe with Miami every year. they have been getting the best of us yeah, but rivalries go in streaks like that. we have been getting the best of florida

Now We are on the same page my friend. Last year or the 10 years before have nothing to do with what is taking place this year ! GL on FSU future games and I hope you make the correct decision when they meet.... if they meet ?

Fla St should beat Virginia next week. next real game is at Clemson. oh boy. not good. clemson has lost 2 VERY tough close home games ( BC and Miami). this shows they are obviosly a good team but more so that they are desperate to break thru and win a big gamefor the home folks instead of falling slightly short. With a win Bobby might be putting the final nail in his sons coffin at Clemson.

Clemson is going to go all out. Even more so than vs Miami and BC. They need to beat FSU badly. Very tough spot for FSU to have to go into. Its not like at Clemson is an easy place to play anyway. This is a very tough game.

As for Virginia Tech, I realize they are a very good team, but I am not worried at all about them. I am much more worried about at Clemson. I realize I SHOULD be more worried than I am about Va tech in Jacksonville, but I am not.

Success against a team will do that I guess. We beat them in the sugar bowl in 1999 and beat the crap out of them in the gator bowl a few years later in jacksonville.

Mr Smith, I agree with you about Virginia, and they should not pose much of a problem for FSU. But I'll be on Clemson heavy with the points, and I'll have some ML as well. Remember going there as 17 point favs two years ago? That line was a joke, but I still didn't expect them to lose the game outright by 3 touchdowns.

well looks like we finally have some FSU common ground Illini. I am heavy on a future " game of the year" line FSU -6.5 at Virginia. I should be in good shape when the real line comes out and I intend to let it ride.

As for the Clemson game, I cant blame ya for taking the points, whatever they are. That game will be a very tough spot for FSU. There are no locks, FSU might play very well like at BC and win and cover. But Clemson is going to go all out, they are desperate to beat somebody good after their tough beats vs Miami and Boston College. Could be an outright upset. I wouldnt bet 14 cents on FSU at Clemson. So if a homer like me doesnt like it, there ya go. Fire away.

What difference does it make where FSU finishes? If FSU lost to USC by 20, those southern voters would probably vote FSU higher because Bowden is a great interview. USC would beat them by 30+. This week, they will be lucky to leave ND with a win.
