2-0 to two mid tier at best teams. Not one team in the ACC beat an even decent SEC team. In fact, Kentucky beat their #2 team the week before.
So what's the point of scheduling OOC matchups if they will be irrelevant? FSU is penalized for scheduling 2 Tier 1 SEC Programs years in advance who happened to have mediocre seasons?
Outside of leaving the ACC, what are they supposed to do?
FSU played 2 more Power 5 opponents than Bama, which included 2 SEC schools. Bama has the better top end wins, but FSU may have a better overall schedule of "good" teams.
The SEC was 4-6 vs ACC with the ACC having the better wins.

Lol all of our better teams won their matchups while all of the SEC bottom feeders lost theirs.

FSU should get credit because LSU was elite 4 years ago and Florida was elite 15 years ago?

Wut. The SEC #7/8 beat the ACC #2. ACC doesn't remotely have a win that good. Best one is ACC #1 beat the SEC #4. Well, yeah, they should win that.

They definitely won the head-to-head matchup, but "better wins" is definitely a subjective metric.
3 of them came against South Carolina and Vanderbilt. Teams that are a combined 3-13 in conference play.
You're really comparing these wins:

LSU 0-1 (FSU)
A&M 0-1 (Miami)
to this win:
quote:
UK 1-0 (UL)
However, it should be noted that these:
quote:
UGA 1-0 (Ga Tech)
Miss 1-0 (Ga Tech)
Came against a team that had a winning record in conference play in the ACC.
The SEC had 3 wins against teams with winning ACC records; the ACC had 1.
So I'd have to presume you REALLY mean win over LSU > win over Louisville.
Which means win over #3 SEC West team vs win over #2 ACC team.
So if your argument is that LSU > Louisville, then that places LSU as FSU's best win.
LSU, however, is only Alabama's 3rd best win and 4th highest opponent.
