Well, the SEC East is presumed to be pretty weak this year. Presumed! We'll see how the season ends up. All I know is that a "weak" SEC East is an aberration, not a norm. And everything I wrote above is historically accurate.

tufsu for some weird reason cites Southern Cal playing Notre Dame every year as relevant to this discussion. Um, are you crazy? Over the last 25 years Notre Dame somehow approximates FSU? In what bizarre universe? Similarly, over the last 25 years Clemson somehow approximates FSU? This is laughably absurd crazy stuff. Stop with the foolishness. And none of the above comments contemplate our occasional playing of both Miami and FSU in the same year in addition to an SEC slate with multiple teams that have won national championships is the last quarter-century. No one else does that, and it isn't open for debate.

The silence of Noles or Canes addressing any of those points are instructive.

No one else in the country even debates this. That's why CBS was the only national network in the 90s to give a football conference a national contract. But, envious Noles and Canes have to do their whining. Cool. Duly noted and rightfully ignored. Again, while proudly sipping my Gatorade, I invite the "Anybody But Florida" crowd to go back to the archives. Read Bobby Bowden in the St. Pete Times. Then take the hint; there's really nothing for you to say.

I dunno.  A perennial Big 12 "also-ran" walked right in and dominated it...in it's first 2 years.  Kind of shatters that myth.

By that logic, Notre Dame must be the greatest team in all the land.  I mean, they have their own television contract...years before CBS/SEC partnership.

How is this conversation still going?  Give it up.  We'll all find out how bad FSU sucks in a few weeks anyway.

And we won't have to wait that long to see how bad the Gators suck, might even be tomorrow.

The gators are 2 plays away from complete mediocrity. If Tennessee kicker was 2 feet to the left and the East Carolina quarterback had not dropped the ball you might very well be a 3 loss team.

Wrong !!!

Well, keep hope alive MusicMan. Grievously wrong on this point, grievously wrong yesterday, but -- a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Maybe your Noles will come through for you in Gainesville.

^ Ha....Anchors Down!

I believe UF has what RattlerGator would call an epic offense!

MusicMan

The Seminoles just barfed all over Clemson's Memorial Stadium. Hard to believe Jimbo would never give Everett Golson a chance to move the team.

The offense was putrid, and S Maguire was awful. Defense played well enough to win.

ProjectMaximus

I was pretty disappointed. Would much rather have seen Clemson come away with a loss, and a 1-loss Noles team showdown with a 1-loss Gators.

sorry, but I just don't see it that way.  Golson is more mobile, but Maguire has the better arm.  Not sure either of them would have been super effective today.  Clemson has a Top 5 offense and a Top 5 defense.  They clearly have a better team than FSU this year, and likely are the best in the country.

Maguire is the correct choice.  Wish he would've played a little better but Rome wasn't built in a day.

Way to prop up your loss.  Clemson was the weakest looking garbage "#1" I have ever seen.  They will get DESTROYED by OSU, Bama, Baylor, LSU, and could even lose to the Gators. ACC is such a joke.

We beat LSU in Atlanta a few years ago in a really close game.

We beat OSU in Miami year before last in a game that was not nearly as close as the score suggested.

I haven't seen a 'garbage' win yet this season.  I guess we'll just have to wait until January to find out.

Ummmmm have you watched college football at all this season? There is no clear dominant team this season, so to say Clemson would get destroyed by any of those teams is just silly. Baylor? They are playing a true freshman QB and went to the wire against a mediocre K-State team while Ohio State has continued to struggle all season against sub-par opponents.

Bama had that loss to Ole Miss, but since then has been pretty impressive.  Their defense looked scary vs LSU last weekend and they haven't been having trouble getting points on the board.
