if FSU's main concern is competing for a national championship - and i am not saying it is - but if it is, then the ACC is head and shoulders the place to be.


Sorry, but you don't win national championships from a conference like that. There's a reason why the SEC is the current title holder and has been for a while. Better competition makes you better. Period.



FSU won't have that in the ACC. Maybe they make the title game next year, but they won't have had the practice to beat up on an SEC team.


When the road is easier, you may get to that title game, but you aren't going to win it. Plus, the ACC, as of right now, is still the 5th best football conference in America. A one loss SEC team gets in over an undefeated ACC team.

do you really think if FSU had beat OU, and went on to be undefeated, that there is any way there were getting left out of the BCS title game?

really?

furthermore, sec teams dont win "because of" the conference, we win in spite of.

sec teams win because of #1 talent, #2 coaching, #3 money to pour into facilities (and possibly recruiting )

FSU has all of that as well, plus an easier road to the title, providing less injury potential.

All hypothetical since Fla St lost, but yes, there is a way, depending on who else finished undefeated. Undefeated SEC would be guaranteed a spot. Undefeated Wisconsin, Stanford, or possibly even OK St (since they would have also beaten OU) could have jumped Fla St.

Depends on who is up there. LSU or Bama or Arky are in above them.

Who would the second team be?
