FSU is going to squash us like grapes

We may have had a losing record vs the SEC back in the 50's and 60's but since '76 we're something like 46-30
No. Are you really so stupid that you post things like this without looking it up?
FSU has a winning record against the SEC since 1976, but not that good
We don't need one. We play them every year. They are always a championship caliber team. We are 31-28-3 all time against them. We don't have to carve out some arbitrary time frame to make it look better. We've lost to them 28 times and I can't think of a single of those losses that was embarrassing.
We don't play in the acc
I found this article from 2014
" Since FSU has held a conference affiliation, its record against the SEC is quite impressive. The ‘Noles joined the Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference (better known as the Metro Conference) in 1976, and moved over to the ACC in 1991. And since ’76, the Seminoles’ record against teams currently in the SEC is 45-30-2, a winning percentage of 59.7%."
Anyone whose team plays in the ACC is walking on thin ice when speaking of tough or quality wins .UF has already surpassed expectations and FSU keeps winning high school contests.By the way how is Oddjob these days?
I think the key word in my article is teams that are "currently" in the SEC but fair enough. From your link I think it's pretty impressive FSU doesn't have a losing record vs any conference. Nice!
Goldmom may I ask you a simple question? How is it that with more posts than Hilliary had emails you have a grand total of 11 likes? That is a like ratio of .00022580777
You're counting wins against SCar and Tx A&M from before they were in the sec. But why start at 1976? That's bs. Since 10/31/2015 the Gators are undefeated against the SEC. See how that works?
Florida state is
48 - 65- 6 Against the SEC.
So you have a LOSING record against the SEC. They actually kept scores before 1976

You go by your article, I'll go by mine. If you want to beat your chest about a game we lost in 1943 then go ahead.
I know you're a null and so naturally, automatically as dumb as a bag of bricks. But let me say it again. YOU. HAVE. A. LOSING. RECORD. VS. THE. SEC.
In other words, FSU would average about 5 conference wins (5 / 8 = .625) a year were they in the SEC as opposed to the 7 or 8 they customarily get in the ACC. LOL!
Shame the Semenholes aren't getting any buzz this year in America's Cupcake Conference. And "who" have they won against this year? No one ranked to date, but they come here...and EVERYWHERE to talk ridiculous smack?! Their season typically consists of TWO games at the end - this year Clemson (much better team and who will win the ACC) and Florida. Florida, who was "hoping" to win 7 games this year due to OL depth and a whole new coaching staff - has only one loss to undefeated #6 LSU (at that time) due to a trick play. fSU lost to unranked Georgia State who was 2-5!! Again they come here and talk smack?
Gone are the days of just having a winning record Semenholes...now you are judged also by the difficulty of your schedule, and who you won or loss to. Better step up your OCC with better teams because your conference is pathetic enough.

Who cares what fsu's record is against whatever conference. This just keeps proving our point that the ACC is a one or two team conference.
Frankly, fsu should rule the ACC. For one, the conference sucks balls, and second, they're a large school in a fertile recruiting state.

Memphis would boat race your secondary and turn Ramsey in circles.. It would be a damned interesting game. Memphis is one dimensional anyway, that's all they need.
FSU's defense is it's Achilles heel. We'll have a tougher time with Clemson's offense than UF's based on what I'm seeing. I also think we'll score more easily against Clemson than we will Florida. In either game I think the Noles will have to play mistake free...and will be underdogs.
Probably in both games. Right now, there is no line for the Clemson game, as Vegas wants some clarification on the status of Cook and Golson
Not sure. We weren't in the ACC for much of that. Regardless, I celebrate the accomplishment with a custom, commemorate plaque.
In all seriousness...for you (or other thread participants), do you prefer one super-conference (SEC) or other powerful football conferences to share in the wealth? The reason I ask, is FSU joining the ACC was actually pretty brilliant...why go play 2nd fiddle to several football schools in the SEC when you can go lead/build your own conference and make it a power-house. FSU was supposed to lead the way. Va Tech and Miami were supposed to help build as well. Imagine if these schools would all pull their weight; Clemson, Louisville, Miami, Va Tech, NC State, FSU, Ga Tech, Pitt...it could be a solid football contender which would go nicely with its basketball prowess.
Yes, the ACC sucks in its current state, BUT if all parties would do their part it could be a pretty good conference in football.
1. I prefer to be called a "thread contributor".
2. The ACC will always be a basketball first conference. It is what it is. The fans of the schools see football season as something to do until the BB season tips off in November. Until that changes, the powers will make decisions that most benefit basketball.

what parties are you talking about? It's a basketball league. All those schools you mentioned haven't done anything in the modern era. The only programs that have any chance of consistently being good is Miami, FSU and Clemson. When is the last time any of those schools you listed won a national championship as a representative of the ACC? VT isn't ever going to be a consistently top football program. The last time Pitt was any good Dan Marino was their QB. Lville - huh? Heck Syracuse was more relevant recently than Pitt when Cuse had McNabb. NC State??? You just rattled off a bunch of mediocre football programs that haven't done anthing in the modern era. I don't ever see it happening with the ACC and football. I see basketball when you rattle off those schools.
"Kept scores"!? Oh, suuure! I suppose the next wild claim you'll make is that televised sports broadcasts and digital computers actually existed waaay back then?
Verily, a revealing choice! FSU and UF neither won nor lost any games in 1943: There was a world war[*] going on at the time. It was the only year since UF had initially opened for classes in G'ville, that it didn't even field a football team. Young men were dropping out of colleges in droves, to enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. Others were transferring to colleges that offered officially accelerated training for eventual service as military officers.
Had you taken advantage of a crucial detail presented at 1 of the Web-addresses given above, you'd know that the 1st year of competition in football for Florida State U., then very recently renamed from the Florida State College for Women, was 1947.

Note *: Being the historical scholar that you've proven yourself to be, I doubt that you'd need to be reminded that it was the war featuring aircraft carriers mysteriously absent on a memorable day at a Pacific harbor little known outside Hawaii; abundant Nazis, one with his notorious moustache copied from the "Little Tramp" character of Charlie-Chaplin; the blitzkrieg; an Allied record-setting amphibious invasion in Normandy; a purge-crazed Allied dictator kindly-&-gently nicknamed "Uncle Joe", whose spies already knew about the newfangled atomic bombs that we planned to drop on the "Land of the Rising Sun"; a peace treaty signed on-board a battleship named after 1 of the 2 newest members of the SEC; and the subsequent descent of an "iron curtain" across Europe "from [...] the Baltic to [...] the Adriatic".
