While I agree that it seems like FSU is a strong opponent, lumping 2010/11 Oregon in with Notre Dame is absurd.

I'll concede Notre Dame was a much bigger underdog (9.5 points) than Oregon was (2 points).

ETA: Here's more of the reasoning of why I say FSU is legit relative to Oregon and Notre Dame. They are basically a SEC team. Same caliber of players, same recruiting area and same coaching philosophy. They'll match up far better with a SEC school than Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon or Notre Dame (in their respective primes in the BCS era) would or did.
