Bottom line is most BCS teams played teams they should destroy... and most of those teams did just that... IE Louisville, Rutgers, and USF... others played teams they should beat handily.. IE WV and most did just that... Only a few played up or even.. and those schools did what u would expect.. break about even...as for FSU/Clemson... Clemson did not have the buzz.. but had more coming back from a team that had won 3 of the last 4 vs FSU.. only idiots tied up in the buzz...such as most of the media.. thought FSU had the upper hand playing at clemson.

PS. Regardless which team lost last nights FSU/Clemson game...the loser will blame mistakes they've made as reason for the loss...and those same mistakes probably wouldn't of cost them a LOSS if they opened up vs a patsy I-A or I-AA team.

Wrong answer. Mistakes can cause a loss against a patsy. Ask NC State or MIchigan. The fact is an elite team must pay at a high level every time it takes the field- failure to do so knocks you out of the elite.
THe truth is FSU hasn't been elite for over ten years. They barely kept the ACC in the good graces of the BCS-- making the ACC raid of the BE a matter of ACC survival. By now, stick a fork in FSU, they are just another midrange program who's glory days have passed.

Well... Clemson did return a fair portion of their players. They could be better than you are giving them credit for. They have a legitimate shot at winning the ACC this year. I would say they are at least the same level as Rutgers.

Uh, yeah. UK proved how much talent they had by embarassing them in the redneck bowl, nashville.

Agreed, Rutgers would wipe the floor with them. Not only would they not be able to score on Rutgers they couldn't stop Rutgers running attack. They're to slow. Florida State is just bad and overrated and that made Clemson look better then they really are.

Can you please tell FSU fans this? They somehow believe that they're still better than us. And I'm not talking just historically. Granted I think much of the reason they care is because of the few of our Rivals posters that are on a mission to kill our reputation of having good fans. Although watching once woeful Rutgers pass you by and seeing upstart, in-state USF to your south doing the same has to hurt.
