They were playing a Top 5 team. Why would anyone be surprised that a top team struggled to beat another top team? It is literally like you have to win by 50 points and not give up a first down or your team sucks unless you play in the SEC and then, it is "well they are another SEC team, so it is natural that you struggle". The expectations are too high for all non-SEC teams even by fans here. Is it TV causing this or what? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Look A&M is a talented team. BUT they are so shell shocked that they didn't even TRY to beat Bama, yet Bama gets a bounce in the polls from the win.

FSU played like Champions and lost votes. I agree with you to an extent....but, I can also play devil's advocate here. A lot of voters thought 'Bama had lost a step this year offensively and defensively, but the A&M game (regardless of how overrated the team was) showed what Alabama is capable of on both sides of the ball. They shut down a decent scoring team, and absolutely obliterated them on offense. On the other hand, I believe a lot of voters expected FSU to beat ND by two touchdowns. Instead, they struggled for 60 mins in that game, and almost lost. FSU has had difficulty in a couple of games this year, and its possible that voters are losing faith in their ability to win. That being said, I don't believe you can drop them out of #1 or #2, as they still are undefeated. Honestly, the polls are only good for internet forum arguing. All the teams have to do is play their games, and it will work itself out....maybe. ;) What if a 1-loss East team beats an undefeated West team for the SEC Championship....do both end up in the playoff?

They're not near as good as some of the teams over the last few years, but I'm not counting them out just yet. |

I'm shocked FSU did not break an attendance record last night, then again I'm used confused as to how our record attendances are thousands more than stadium capacity. Anyways it was the craziest and loudest I've ever seen Doak. Yup, I was truly surprised I will tell you it was PACKED elbow to elbow at least 45 minutes to an hour or more before kickoff. |

It was pretty clear what happened on the play: Florida State blew the coverage and they got rewarded for it. It's unfortunate.
-Brian Kelly http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11728483/brian-kelly-notre-dame-fighting-irish-upset-penalty-end-game-vs-florida-state-seminoles Brian Kelly is an embarrassment. OPI could have been called on two different receivers on the one that was called, and it could have been called on two different receivers on ND's first TD as well. And to whine about not getting a personal foul for a player taking off their helmet when they believe a TD was just scored, give me a break. I guess he doesn't have anything to say about the missed holding call on 4th and 18 on the player who ultimately hit the qb, or the multiple poor spots that weren't reviewed, or the OPI on the first TD. Penalties (and uncalled penalties) are a part of the game. Get over it. If I were a ND fan, I would be supremely disappointed in Kelly. The fact of the matter is FSU stopped sleep-walking and outscored his team 21-10 in the second half. |

You never know.............upsets are always possible. I dont think they lose to UT, but the AU and MSU games will be tough, as they always are and cant be taken for granted by anyone. I dont think any SEC West team can take the others for granted., nor can the East take them that way either........too many good teams. Bama doesnt have the horses it had in previous years, and many on this team are young and inexperienced, but I dont count them out at all

You guys know why we are arguing right? It's because damn near every scenario and opinion in this thread has a possibility of actually happening.
I'm glad it's being decided on the field, the next few weeks will be fantastic to watch. And fsu guys, welcome to being hated for being good. The hate keeps me warm at night. |

And there you have it.....on the spot. Any given Saturday. That's what it all comes down to.....any given Saturday. No one I think is saying the SEC is not a great conference. But they are not the end-all-be-all. Plenty of good AND great teams in all the other conferences. Hell, even Big10 has really good teams....some just haven't been any good lately. Look, people scoff at UNC and Duke but I gurantee play enough times and they could both beat just about any SEC team. And I do remember not being liked in the 90's.....but I don't remember the visceral hate. Don't know if the times have changed or the team has. But yeah, I agree...they hate us because they fear us, wanna be us. I like that they keep finding a way to win, no matter what. |

As I said, you never know...............While UT does have a decent defense, Bama's is pretty good as well. It should be a good game, and I think their success will come in the running game this week.

That might be the case for some people, but it seems to me the majority of people that "hate" FSU don't hate them because they're good. IMHO, they hate them because Jameis Winston is their QB. Though I think "rooting against" might be a more accurate description than "hate." |

Then during the second half, Worley will throw a costly interception in the end zone after getting hammered a handful of times by Bama's DE/LB blowing past our young, slow O-Line earlier in the game. The UT defense will get winded from being on the field constantly and the Tide will walk out of Neyland...except for Kiffen...he will run. |

Had a really interesting conversation today with some FSU buds today that were at the ND game. I havent ever been to Dookie stadium, so I wasnt aware of this. It's also something kind of hard to tell on tv as well. They are very unhappy with game coordination, in general, in terms of crowd noise. Not just this game, but just about always. Ei band wont sync to tempo/plays on the field, they wont sync with the cheer folks, who also arent in sync with whatever is happening on the big screens. So it ends up being a fragmented effort, some folks doing chops, some doing whatever the cheer directors are trying to get going, some doing what the megatron says. It rarely lines up.
They were talking in context with the ND band, their band director would watch the play on field to sync up noise/music and the cheer folks would queued on that. The two guys were sitting in different parts of the stadium and both of them commented on how much it was different and how impressed they were with ND's band and general crowd control for max noise effort. Anyways, thought it was an interesting topic. Certainly something I've never but much thought into before. Just wanted to see what the non-troll FSU folks thought on this one. Is that something you've noticed? |

I can agree with the this, ND band was loud and playing at all the right times, Irish band made the Chiefs their bitch, not sure what the hell the band does over in their section but they weren't on point with supporting the team. The Marching Chiefs should spend less time dancing to Beyonce during half time and more time coordinating with everything else going on. The crowd was crazy loud and whoever runs the screens did a great job at getting people fired up. The chop doesn't need much coordination, once it starts everyone jumps in. |

It looked like the whole stadium was doing chops and doing the yell at the right times. IDK |

I've been to a few ND home games and their band and mascot both do a good job of guiding the audience.

Current odds to win National Championship... Georgia at 15/2 seems a little optimistic to me, even as a Georgia fan. They certainly have an easier path to the SEC Championship game over anyone in the West, but the defense still concerns me. The Auburn game in a few weeks will be huge, and should be a good indicator of the legitimacy of their title hopes. I've said this before, but Georgia's hopes do not rest iin the hands of the offense and whether or not Gurley plays, but depends entirely on the defensive side of the ball. Of course, if they play with the same defensive intensity as the last two weeks, then they should be OK. I think they match up well with Auburn, so we will see. First, though, we have to see how they play against Florida in two weeks. I don't care how much of a dumpster fire the Gators are right now, they are still a dangerous team defensively. Regardless of the score against Missouri, they held the Tigers to 20 yards passing and 119 total yards of offense. If they can limit their turnovers, they may be able to make it a game. Interesting statistic, Georgia is +13 in turnover margin, Florida is even at 0 (with 6 turnovers last weekend against Missouri). |

Florida is NOT dangerous this year. You completely underestimate Georgia's ability to play down to their competition, especially in a rivalry game. Case in point, the South Carolina game... |

Oklahoma State has received notice from the NCAA's investigation on allegations of misconduct.
OSU's investigation from NCAA Oh and there is some sex involved...luckily Jameis was on their campus for only one night so I don't think he had time to rape anybody but there was a Publix near by...so crab leg theft would definitely be a legit claim.

I was going to post that here yesterday after reading the title at espn.com, but after reading the article it didn't seem like much of a story to me. ...the NCAA said Tuesday that allegations raised by a Sports Illustrated series were "fundamentally unfounded."
A source familiar with the NCAA's process told ESPN that the Cowboys would probably only lose a scholarship or two for two years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Had a really interesting conversation today with some FSU buds today that were at the ND game. I havent ever been to Dookie stadium, so I wasnt aware of this. It's also something kind of hard to tell on tv as well. They are very unhappy with game coordination, in general, in terms of crowd noise. Not just this game, but just about always. Ei band wont sync to tempo/plays on the field, they wont sync with the cheer folks, who also arent in sync with whatever is happening on the big screens. So it ends up being a fragmented effort, some folks doing chops, some doing whatever the cheer directors are trying to get going, some doing what the megatron says. It rarely lines up. They were talking in context with the ND band, their band director would watch the play on field to sync up noise/music and the cheer folks would queued on that. The two guys were sitting in different parts of the stadium and both of them commented on how much it was different and how impressed they were with ND's band and general crowd control for max noise effort. Anyways, thought it was an interesting topic. Certainly something I've never but much thought into before. Just wanted to see what the non-troll FSU folks thought on this one. Is that something you've noticed? Not sure I agree with that. The only issue, which has been one for a long time, is that the band starts to play the war chant just before a big third down. The war chant is awesome, but it's not loud and disruptive like stomping feet and yelling. Third downs are when fans should be screaming their heads off, not doing the chop. Other than that....I'd say it was the loudest I've heard it since Oklahoma. Possibly the loudest it's ever been. |

Quote HistoryIt's not rape if your schedule was 4-8
Also, how many samples of semen in her anus? You need at least two before you claim rape. Surely ESPN will be all over this. EDIT: don't worry FU fans, even though you have a raging dumpster fire burning in "Jortsville" I'm pretty sure it will still be a good game this year. I actually mean that. With nothing to lose and everything to gain in fame and revenge I'll bet they play their hearts out. You'll still lose though
