Kirk Herbstreet picks FSU for NC

[Rack Em]

Dude just picked Florida State to win the NC over U$C.

 

[PraetorianND]

I could see FSU getting to the NC game. Their schedule isn't terribly difficult. WINNING that game is the tough part.

Murray State

Savannah State

Wake Forest

#14 Clemson

South Florida

North Carolina State

Boston College

Miami (FL)

Duke

#16 Virginia Tech

Maryland

#23 Florida

FSU will go 11-1 during the regular season IMO with a loss at VT. I think they'll will there conference champ game and be 12-1 so they will have a great shot of going to the championship game.

 

[ACamp1900]

FSU has an easy road compared to many... I can see it, if only for that reason...

 

[STLDomer]

So did David Pollack, I don't think it's outrageous, undefeated is not out of the question for them at all.

 

[dublinirish]

they wont beat VT though and they are bound to fall in a trap game

That's what I was thinking.

Plus I don't see any scenario in which Florida State BEATS USC.

 

[Irish YJ]

Yes on FSU having a good chance at getting to the NC.

 

[irish1958]

Perhaps another reason to consider joining the ACC. This looks like the easiest way to get to the NC game.

 

[tadman95]

FSU is loaded and by the end of the year the young guys will be pretty seasoned.

Good schedule. With a little luck, anything is possible.

 

[pumpdog20]

Well, he also has Manti as the 3rd best inside linebacker.

 

[phgreek]

..I don't see them in the NC. Their o-line had a ways to go...

 

[STLDomer]

Since Herbstreit is the subj he gave Eifert the Herbie award for TE but in his all Herbie team he had Stoneburner.

 

[Irish YJ]

If they made it, I think they would get crushed by any SEC team or USC/Oregon. Great D, but think they are lacking O and ultimately believe they underachieve. I know Clemson has unanswered Qs and issues, but I can easily see them, or VT knocking FSU off.

I'd love to get another shot at them. Would love to see a 1 loss FSU get pounded by a two loss ND. BCS baby (even though I hate the BCS system)

 

[dublinirish]

How does any team let alone FSU get away with playing 2 FCS teams?

they had a game vs WVU but it was cancelled when the Mountaineers moved to the Big12 if my memory serves me. But yah its still a joke.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

They will lose to VT and Clemson, and another team that they are looking ahead of.

 

[RDU Irish]

Vegas line for them is something like 8/1 to win the national championship. Then again we were listed 30/1.

 

[dublinirish]

ACC is just full of trap games: NC state, BC, maryland, wake..Pick and choose!

 

[Grahambo]

USF will trip them up.

 

[NDhoosier]

I still want to know how he has Manti as the #3 Inside LB...

 

[BGIF]

Amen!

[FLDomer]

If there is a game on their schedule that could get em it's NC St. They have Clemson at home and VT is not going to be that good this, their oline is a joke, they lost their best WR and RB and I see this being a down yr for VT. I can see FSU making it too the NC game on ease of schedule but I hope they drop a couple like they do every yr, preferrably early so my neighbor shuts the F up!

 

[SoJerseyIrish]

I got 10,000 vbucks that says they don't make it..........

There are valid criticisms of ND football, tough scheduling isn't one of them.

How does any team let alone FSU get away with playing 2 FCS teams?

SEC schedules are full of FCS teams, or just awful teams. It's a joke.

BAMA: FAU and Western Carolina
ARK: Jacksonville State, LA Monroe, and Tulsa (gulp)
LSU: North Texas, Towson, Idaho
Florida: Bowling Green, La-Lafayette, Jacksonville State
UGA: Buffalo, FAU, GA Southern
Auburn: LA-Monroe, Alabama A&M


... just a few examples.

Mark May just said the NC Game with be the winner of the Sec championship game and between Oklahoma and WV.

How is OU going to get into the NC game with a loss to ND on their record?

 

[Btown7]

Mel Kiper Jr just said on Mike and Mike that he's picking FSU and LSU in the NC game. smh..oh and that we will only have 8 wins this year.

FSU will have atleast one loss in the ACC. Either Clemson or Virginia.
