Interesting. That's basically a home game for FSU. I would rather just make it a home and home.

I like playing good OOC games. This is good.

Ole Miss has a verbal agreement in place for a season-opening neutral site game to start the 2016 season, the first year the rule goes into effect. Bjork hopes to announce it soon.

"It'll be outside the normal rotation of Atlanta, Dallas and Houston," said Bjork, referencing cities with existing kickoff classic games. "... It'll be an exciting matchup, a big-time matchup."

From the CL

I like the idea of playing FSU, even in florida. Would be good for recruiting.

Would love to play ND in an OOC game, and also Oregon or USC. Steal them west coast croots.

I don't want this.
















I NEED this. I hate FSU. I hope Jimbo is still there. I want to drink his tears.

As growing up a UF fan I despise Free Shoes U.

And nothing to worry about with FSU having "Home field advantage" their fans don't show up to home games unless it's UF or Miami. As long as this game is on a Saturday and not a Thursday we will have a great showing

I just don't see the point in playing them. Our SEC schedule is hard enough. Why schedule another tough game. We don't need to play them, especially in Orlando. I am not saying we won't beat them. I am just saying we have nothing to gain from it.

With the new format it matters. A win against a top team early on holds weight.

It would improve our overall SOS which the committee looks at big time.

Ugh.

You sound like a State fan from last year about playing Oklahoma St.

A game like this gets huge national exposure. A game like this lets us hit home to recruits from FL. A game like this is actually exciting.

I would rather play a top teir school and have it be exciting and have a chance to lose but have A HUGE gain then play a Presbyterian and beat them by 50 in a boring arse blowout. But maybe that's just me i dunno

It doesn't matter whose program it is, you're going to have people on both sides of the fence.
