As much as I love Cutcliffe, I stress that -Duke- won half the ACC.

A true freshman QB going up against an SEC defense in a national championship game has the entire deck stacked against him. To a larger point, FSU's "best" wins this year are Miami, Clemson and Duke. Duke is #24, Miami is unranked and Clemson is (a generous) #12. This is one of those old school 1980s situations where a team shouldn't be credited for picking on teams that are inferior. If FSU plays Auburn's schedule, can you say with 100% certainty that they win less than 2 games? I just can't see it.

I'm frankly tired of the SEC's run of dominance but I think Auburn's offense is a nightmare scenario. At least Alabama would have been relatively predictable.

- Oh, absolutely. I referenced that earlier today. The monthlong sabbatical is the only reason I think FSU even has a chance. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:06
