It also doesn't help that the 3rd ranked team was clearly there on luck and little else, and the 4th ranked team lost to a team that ended the season with a losing record.

Virginia Tech ended over .500.

I assume everyone in the Big Ten except maybe Wisconsin has an awful record against the Pac-10 because they usually only play in the yearly Rose Bowl slaughter.

Ohio State is 59-26-2 against the Pac 12.

Edit: Michigan and Michigan St. are also over .500 against Pac 12. Wisconsin is well under .500.

And I think you guys hating Clemson are confusing with what I said, which was that they are the favorites to win it this year(and rightfully so) and will reign over the conference as such. I didn't say they were due to beat everyone by 40 and roll into the playoffs.

They're the favorites next year, they should be the favorites, people will make assumptions associated with a team being the favorite to win a given conference. Like now, when we assume the SEC champ will win the MNC. Of course, if recent history repeats itself then I guess we should be no more worried about that than Clemson winning the ACC, right?

Why do you believe this? They return the same amount of starters as Florida State, but less than Georgia Tech. Clemson's phenom QB can't seem to stay on the field for any sustained period of time. They lost one the best offensive minds in the country. To say without a doubt that Clemson are the favorites this year(especially before spring practices) would be fairly presumptuous.

- FSU is going to take a step back. May or may not be a large one but it will not be going forward. No Winston and 4 of 5 OL gone means trouble for whoever takes snaps next.

Ohio State won a national championship doing exactly that last year. So it's not impossible. Clemson also lost the majority of its O-line.

Crotch Bat posted:

- Their schedule isn't easy with GT and Miami on it but they get GT at home and FSU at home, a place I don't believe the Noles have won at in over a decade.

Florida State destroyed them in Death Valley two years ago.

It was funny at the time, instantly became less so when they won the title that year. Heralded QB rallies team after loss en route to national title is a story every team in the country would love to be able to tell.

They beat every team after that game by at least ten points, and that included 5 ranked teams. Moral of the story is don't anger Tim Tebow.

He's just an obnoxious lovely commissioner who stuck us with Rutgers but this one time he fired some shots at the SEC so he's ok with me! :patriot:

For a commissioner to actively undermine the coaches in his conference is mindboggling. Coaches both in football and basketball have already said that Delany's insistence for freshman eligiblity have already harmed recruiting efforts.
