Don't quite understand the hype. Very good defense, but lost their best playmaker in Reid and are mediocre offensively.

USC...sure

FSU... , that offense isn't good enough. Although, they do play in the ACC, so that's nice...

Under the BCS, you have to pick an SEC team to be there if you're being honest.

Until we get a playoff, reputation matters.

How many fricking times are these dumbasses going to pick against the SEC before they learn?

The funniest part was Herby was just ON a Grantland podcast discussing how superior the SEC is to every other conference and how much better our defenses are than any other conferences.

Anyone that picks a team outside of the SEC should have their head examined, given the current winning streak.

I guess they need to start giving some other conferences some love before the season starts.

Remember when FSU and Oklahoma was a big top 5 match-up early last year? How did those teams finish in the end last year?

it's very possible with their weak arse schedule. but they'd have to go undefeated, and both LSU and Bama would have to lose 2.

I don't see them going to the BCSCG game but winning the ACC seems very realistic, especially with the young talent they have coming back and Clemson appearing to be the only true threat in the conference.

Still, they have only had two 10-win seasons in the last 10 years so I'm really not buying into the national title hype.

Overrated. Fsu won't make it.

first thought is most posters will blast the pick as if he was picking Florida Atlantic instead of Florida State.

Its not a bad pick. Its not completly out of left field but not the chalk either. The most common comment from those blasting the pick will be something about FSU is over rated every year and "always" fails to live up to expectations. Which is of course silly, since their coach is just in his 3rd season as a HC, so his great recruiting classes are just now coming into their own.

They dropped 3 in a row last year after their QB got hurt. They have a lot of talent on D. Toughest game will be at Va Tech, whcih they could lose. If they do drop a game, they are probably out, but I think they play in Miami this year, it wouldn't shock me with if they run the table and make it to the BCS CG rather than the Orange Bowl.
