I disagree. I think FSU can compete. We will see in week 3 when they play Oklahoma.


I honestly don't understand the hype about Florida State. First of all, they're replacing Christian Ponder with E.J. Manuel so there's a big question mark at QB. Secondly, FSU played three teams that were worth a shite last year. They got crushed by two of those teams (Oklahoma and Virginia Tech) and needed an epic meltdown by Stephen Garcia and the Gamecocks to barely scrape by South Carolina. If USCe plays Florida State again this year, I would bet dollars to donuts they would beat them head to head.

Manuel has played pretty well when given the chance because Ponder was out with injuries. Most are expecting him to really perform well now that's it's his team.

I think FSU are a better team than they were last year.

fwiw they only lost by 10 to VT.

Manuel actually started that game and played pretty well throwing for almost 300 yards.

It's possible. I want to see them play Oklahoma before I would have them losing vs. USCE (a top 10 team)

FSU is recruiting like they did in the 90s. They definitely have the talent to compete with any SEC team. Having said that, they wouldn't beat us, Bama, or LSU this year

Any of those teams can go undefeated and get to the NC.. but when they meet the winner out of the SEC, it's game over.

tcu,texas a&m,va tech and boise state lulz they are stupid as frick.

none of these teams are winning a title. okie state is an eh as well considering they can't get over the sooners.

the whole list is really shitty other than fsu,oklahoma and oregon.

of course oregon will lose in week 1 but they are a better choice than the rest of the clowns they listed.

I stopped reading when they had TCU listed in the top 10. It's highly unlikely that they go undefeated again this year with all the players that they've lost.


When I saw TCU ,....my first thought was to name 10 SEC teams that can beat TCU head to head.

Okie State? Can they even make a legitimate run for the B12 championship?

Considering we traded blows with OU in the final 4 mins and wound up on the wrong end last year, yes. Win that game, and we would have played NU in the B12 'ship game. I would consider that making a legitimate run. So yes, we have made a legitimate run at it, and we will do so this year.
