Have you ever prepared a 3rd string quarterback for a title game on several

days notice? Having a month to. prep the #2 guy for the CFP would have been much different. And Norvell would have been a great guy to do it.

So some of you think FSU is still the same team that ran their schedule?
Bruno • 12/06/23 04:01 AM ET
They're missing one guy, and he's not even their best player
Zanderhokie • 12/06/23 03:50 PM ET
They are a 14 point dog to Georgia for a reason. **
Bruno • 12/06/23 07:31 PM ET
Remind me again, how many was Washington favored by over Oregon???
gahokie • 12/07/23 11:17 AM ET
I think they are better now than they were before
OrlandoHokie • 12/06/23 11:16 AM ET
Bruno, I'm sure there are plenty of posters on your B12 conf board who will

Pull my finger. **
Bruno • 12/06/23 07:47 PM ET
You know what they say about opinions, don’t you?**
GCHokieof91 • 12/06/23 10:30 AM ET
They all stink?
crazylane • 12/06/23 10:49 AM ET
That isn't the point at all.
IV_Hokie12 • 12/06/23 10:18 AM ET
They scored over 20 with the second string guy. No they wouldn't have been
HokiePail • 12/06/23 09:27 AM ET
I'll bite. Yes, FSU is not the same team. But guess what?
goodbadugly • 12/06/23 09:27 AM ET
They're clearly not, however, being a pure "resume" guy isn't some
BG Hokie • 12/06/23 09:21 AM ET
Literally no one thinks that. We get that FSU probably isn't as good
HokieGuru • 12/06/23 09:00 AM ET
Shoot, just plug teams into AI, and skip playoff altogether Bruno.
Techsupport • 12/06/23 08:48 AM ET
Wait...you think this is about playing to determine the best football team?
HokiePokie95 • 12/06/23 09:07 AM ET
And none of that matters… P5, conf champion, undefeated
WestyHokie • 12/06/23 08:38 AM ET
So, if for whatever reason
GvilleHokie • 12/06/23 08:32 AM ET
Didn't they whoop UF in the Swamp with their backup? That's the QB who
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 08:07 AM ET
No, they didn't whoop FL, they barely beat them and...
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 10:07 AM ET
UF was also playing with a back up QB. Graham Mertz was injured too. **
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 08:29 AM ET
Bama needed a miracle to beat an avg Auburn**
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 08:33 AM ET
The week after Auburn was trounced at home by... New Mexico State
Zanderhokie • 12/06/23 03:53 PM ET
I agree with that but that is a very intense rivalry and if you go back and
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 08:39 AM ET
Meh. Auburn had just been destroyed by NMSU. Bama was 7-3 the past
reestuart • 12/06/23 09:01 AM ET
and the week before AU demolished MSU, who the week before beat FL in swamp
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 10:10 AM ET
so is beating UF in the Swamp a quality win or not? You want it both ways**
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 10:17 AM ET
never said that, I said cherry picking certain games shows nothing**
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 10:19 AM ET
I hear what you're saying... it is hard to predict what will happen in the
goodbadugly • 12/06/23 10:13 AM ET
I agree that FSU should have gone, but not that FSU is better than AL
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 10:17 AM ET
Bama defense looks soft**
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 12:06 PM ET
Agree to disagree. Having been to a Iron Bowl there the atmosphere is
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 09:10 AM ET
But the committee looked the other way when F$U beat SEC teams.
EDGEMAN • 12/06/23 08:23 AM ET
you lose your ranking by losing a game, not a player...**
HOKIE75-79 • 12/06/23 07:55 AM ET
They played Loserville better than Meechigan played Iowa, so...
EDGEMAN • 12/06/23 07:14 AM ET
With that logic the Jax Jaguars should be excluded from NFL playoffs becaus
sacramento hokie • 12/06/23 06:55 AM ET
The 4 best teams are in playoffs and on a side note, I would have ranked
Jeffroww • 12/06/23 06:43 AM ET
FYI, Uga is -13.5. What would the line have been if Uga had won and played
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 08:32 AM ET
More parody this year than in a long time
crazylane • 12/06/23 07:07 AM ET
Yup**
OldRetiredHokie • 12/06/23 06:45 AM ET
Their second team qb played fine and beat Florida- their 3rd team beat UL
tallahasseehokie • 12/06/23 06:35 AM ET
You think Florida and Louisville
Bruno • 12/06/23 07:58 AM ET
People seem to be forgettng that UF was playing with a backup also. It make
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 08:35 AM ET
Florida is also the 2nd worst team in the SEC**
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 10:57 AM ET
You think Auburn is good? **
ModerateHokie • 12/06/23 08:08 AM ET
They are when they play their rival. **
Bruno • 12/06/23 08:49 AM ET
Ah yes special pleading. The logic doesn't apply when its Bama. **
IV_Hokie12 • 12/06/23 10:19 AM ET
mmm... FSU and UF are pretty big rivals as well
Rationalist • 12/06/23 10:14 AM ET
Both barely beat their rival on the road, point to neither, next**
Vienna_Hokie • 12/06/23 11:13 AM ET
BS, why didn’t the committee drop them to #8 immediately after the injury…
ombandit • 12/06/23 06:34 AM ET
To watch them play without him?
OldRetiredHokie • 12/06/23 06:44 AM ET
The Fl.St Louisville game was absolutely painful to watch.
Jeffroww • 12/06/23 09:49 AM ET
UL QB was horrendous. The endzone pic was the 2nd worst pass of the weekend
VTBAMA • 12/06/23 10:26 AM ET
They would’ve had Rodemaker back for bowl/playoff
hokiepro • 12/06/23 06:30 AM ET
I think, even without disputing what you say, FSU earned a spot...
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/06/23 06:12 AM ET
AMEN ..Preach It..
