They might could make a game out of it. They wouldn't win. That defense of yours would get torched though.
I just don't know how you are so confident after losing your last two games that you could beat the best team in the country on a neutral field. Before you say "oh but Oklahoma was a disappointment because we didn't care", realize that you shite the bed as a 10 point favorite for "all the marbles" at Auburn.
Yes, every game is different, and upsets happen. I suppose it could be close or go Bama's way. Hell, Georgia could hang with them if we caught them on the right day and had a ton of lucky breaks. But Bama would lose 8/10 times.

thats exactly the case you make. no way in hell their starters play that little in SEC play. ask UGA if its valid or not.

It's about the grind. It's not about one on one. It's not "could FSU beat this team or that team?" It's "could Florida State beat ALL these teams?"
The SEC is just too tough. A couple of teams would get them. No question.
Maybe FSU drops one game, but they wouldn't lose 2 unless they're playing road games against LSU, Bama, Auburn, USCe, and Missouri.

People aren't implying that. The problem is that there is a difference between going undefeated playing in a conference with 2 top 25 teams (one of which is you) and a conference with 7 top 25 teams.

Yeah our defense has been something awful all year in getting torched. Hell we're a little shaky everywhere. Oh and you're right about us shitting the bed...we really shite the bed...no doubt about it. On your FSU wins 8/10 times I think we win more than that.

But yeah I don't see the logic here either.

Well my main point is addressing the OP asking if they would go undefeated. They could. But it's not crazy to think they could lose 2-3 games. LSU did. If I'm not mistaken, I think 2010 Auburn is the only NC from the SEC to do it in the 7 year SEC streak.

If they play the Alabama SEC schedule no they would not lose a game.

It's not that illogical. You have 20 dogs separated into two groups.
In one group (GROUP A) you have 3 Pitbulls, 4 Rotweillers, 1 Jack Russel and 2 Minature Poodles.
In the other group (GROUP B) you have 1 Pitbull, 2 Rotweillers, 4 Jack Russels and 3 minature poodles.
You fight the dogs in each group until only one dog is left standing. Let's assume, 1 of the Pitbulls from group A would win and the other Pitbull from group B would win. The question to you is, which dog would be healthier and have less physical problems after the tourney to compete in the final.

To run an SEC schedule week in and week out would've been too much for FSU. Put it this way, what would the record of the big six playing FSUs schedule be?

FSU was the best team. The SEC is still the best conference. The end
