Bama-F$U 2017

That will help both teams make payroll. I've heard players are getting expensive.
I'm aware it's your board, although I am confused why the dollar sign is meant as disrespectful?
If I go over to the FSU board and type F$U, there is a good chance I would get banned.
It is a holdover for the Free Shoes University era. If that is before your time, then google it.
Who cares? The check will clear the bank. And we get a showcase game. Again. Not like some other folks....
That sounds familiar....HEY, I just did that - Saturday night.
Yeah, no one can beat Bama. Not Ohio State, not Ole Miss, not Auburn, not Oklahoma....
I, for one, applaud FSU for taking this step. At least some of the folks there realize this kind of scheduling is necessary. I mean, last year you had three undefeated teams, Alabama, Oregon and FSU. And FSU was seeded last among those teams. Last.
Oh wait. The Ducks actually had a loss. And FSU was seeded behind them. An undefeated FSU team with a returning Heisman trophy winner was seeded behind a one loss team. Think about that for a minute. Hell, one wonders if the committee wasn't considering putting FSU in as a fourth seed.
So, given that, the folks as FSU realize that with the shitty ACC schedule, the ONLY way a one loss ACC team might even remotely sniff the playoff is to play a very tough non-confernece schedule.
FSU can not do anything about Florida being bad. But they can do something about the rest of their schedule. And they did. Good for them
Playing two SEC teams is not as good as playing in the SEC. But they already chickened out on that decades ago and there is no going back. So they do the next best thing.

...the SEC could invite FSU to join any time they wish...I imagine there'd be a team that wouldn't really want that though.
Should we be seeking to play Georgia Southern?
I'll take three years of disappointment wrapped up into one game if it means we win the rest.
You do realize that in addition to your weak conference schedule, you have teams just like this sprinkled in too, right?
But we've never lost to any.
You guys paid them $550k for the right to lose to them, at home, without them having to complete a forward pass. That's pretty remarkable. You will always have that "over" us.
The ACC schedule may not be as tough as the SEC schedule, but it's not 8 FCS schools no matter how much you'd like to think it is. The SEC proved in the post season it's not the juggernaut you'd like to think it is.
This is not what got you banned....(since it didn't strike a nerve, you were trolling).
Will be rooting for FSU, the only team I hate more than Bama is UGA.
Go back and read the history when the SEC expanded in 1992. Even your own coach admitted that the SEC was just too tough for FSU. He admitted it back then and he admitted it just recently.
Bobby has always been tongue n cheek with that kind of thing. Coach has never been afraid of anyone, any team or any conference. He used to always say he was afraid of Miami but never even considered taking them off the schedule. Most people don't take Coach literally when he speaks like that but I guess some do. He does need to realize the media has changed and they won't report that he was clearly joking. The SEC in 92 was nothing to write home about and FSU would have ran through that conference the same way they did the ACC. Nothing would have been different.
