Actually, we need to beat them, win out, and hope DUKE loses another game. But I'm sure that is what you meant to say, right? Either that or you where in a medically induced coma, missed the Miami-FSU game, and have no idea how conference standing work

no, if we beat them and win out, it comes down to tie-breakers, and we'd have the head-to-head. Only team that would have an advantage over us is Duke, and that'd require them to win out.

If Duke wins out and we win out, and Georgia Tech wins out than it will have to move to the second level tie breaker because Duke beat us, we beat Georgia Tech and Georgia Tech beat Duke....I believe second breaker is BCS ranking, which I don't honestly know how to predict at this point.

I guess I'm a glutton, but I'd love for our kids to get that chance.
Win or lose, great for them and recruiting: that would mean that we got to play against 2 of the top 3 teams.

There once was an ACC title game with a top 5 team and a team that barely squeeked by to make it to the game. It involved both FSU and VT; how did that work out?
Point is. Make it to the game and anything can happen,

I'd be proud of the team to finish with three straight wins, but I think we can all agree that FSU is clearly the best team to carry the banner for the ACC. The last thing I want is us getting curb stomped in the Orange Bowl by a really good football team.

Duke winning the Coastal would make me a little happy. I don't think we deserve it this year, I don't want Miami to win it after losing so thoroughly yesterday, I don't like GT or UNC at all, or Pitt, for that matter, so Duke is the only remaining team, and a program I respect. They're chock full of seniors this year, so let them win one a la Wake Forest, FSU will win the ACCCG, and then meet Alabama in the MNC.

I truly believe we can win out, but look at it from the view of anyone outside of Blacksburg. We just lost to Duke and BC, why the heck would anyone pick us. I get why he didnt, and he shouldn't have. Now we just need to go out and prove him wrong

A ton of Winston's passes were really really high, and Miami had some poor defense in on some of those plays. They're a good team, deserving of rank. But, I just don't know how well they'd do with an opponent like Alabama.

Well they've got LSU this coming Saturday, and Auburn later in the month. We shall definitely see where they stand. As far as Oregon, I've been saying all year they'll get upset once in conference. They've got Stanford either Saturday or next Saturday, so their game is coming soon too.

I actually don't think it's going to be close, ...I mean, at the beginning of the year, I picked LSU to beat Bama, but looking at where both teams are now, and the teams that LSU has lost to and the nature of their losses. No way I see Bama losing (though, I won't be upset if they do)

I don't see Alabama losing that game, either, but of all teams, LSU probably puts up the best fight. Isn't it odd that Mettenberger is so much better this year and the offense with Cam Cameron at the helm is really good, yet LSU already has two losses? Granted, they lost a lot from that defense, but so did Alabama and Florida State.

Miami playing FSU again in the ACCCG may be the best thing for the conference but I'm not like these SEC jokers I live around that pull for their conference to do well when their team isn't dominating. Go Hokies, beat the U, Famous Jameis meet Lunchpail D.

I bet if Oh St. wins another game in a blow out that he will want to move Oh St above Oregon/FSU...the Mich St defense is the best D in the nation. If they don't drop a game they will shut down Oh St. They held Mich to minus something rushing and way under 200 yards total.

If we beat them and win out we have the head to head for the tie breaker. We win out from her end we're in.
Stop it. You're giving me hope!
Also, Duke has to lose at least one more conference game.
They play Miami on the 16th. That's their best chance to lose. I wouldn't rule out the UNC matchup either.

Okay seriously, half your posts are just insulting other members. Calm down, be nice.
What would you expect from someone that seems to want to encourage a blackout game...

Yessir. And Duke is pretty decent, but not a chance in hell they win out.
Duke wins conference for football...if that happened would only mean Mayans were off by two years
If Duke wins out and we win out, and Georgia Tech wins out than it will have to move to the second level tie breaker because Duke beat us, we beat Georgia Tech and Georgia Tech beat Duke....I believe second breaker is BCS ranking, which I don't honestly know how to predict at this point.
Remember to put Miami in there as well... Unless Duke beats them, I guess.
I'm not sure how much fun it would be to be the sacrificial lamb for FSU in Charlotte.
Although if that craziness happens, sets up the perfect chance for LT to go out in a blaze of glory
I guess I'm a glutton, but I'd love for our kids to get that chance.
Win or lose, great for them and recruiting: that would mean that we got to play against 2 of the top 3 teams.
I agree. I'd rather get an ass kicking from FSU in the ACCCG than not play in it at all.
I want to see our defense against famous Jameis more than anything
There once was an ACC title game with a top 5 team and a team that barely squeeked by to make it to the game. It involved both FSU and VT; how did that work out?

We'll see about that.
Duke winning the coastal would be the most #goACC thing ever. Which means, it's the most likely scenario.
I'd be proud of the team to finish with three straight wins, but I think we can all agree that FSU is clearly the best team to carry the banner for the ACC. The last thing I want is us getting curb stomped in the Orange Bowl by a really good football team.
I agree, but god it stings to admit that. Maybe if we're in the Orange Bowl we can draw Louisville/UCF?
Happy Dance
But in reality I'd love to just win out. Regardless of our ACCCG status, this is an improvement, and brings experience into next year.
I'd rather play in the OB and take my chances, then root for FSU to have a good showing in a BCS game. What is this, the SEC?
Duke winning the Coastal would make me a little happy. I don't think we deserve it this year, I don't want Miami to win it after losing so thoroughly yesterday, I don't like GT or UNC at all, or Pitt, for that matter, so Duke is the only remaining team, and a program I respect.

Who the hell cares what Herbstreit thinks? I don't. He gets paid to guess about college football.
I need to get a gig like that.
Herbstreit admittedly likes the Hokies. As a national pundit, what he thinks actually matters.
I hope our players are hearing this too. Everybody has written them off, even parts of our fanbase. Time for them to go out and prove them wrong.
Is that FSU's unofficial application to join the SEC?
ACC has some of the highest academic standards.
Looks like she forgot one of the O's in "too"...
Why is she holding that sign so weird? And why the heck do i notice things like that?
I noticed it too. Pinkies and thumbs.

FSU jumped back up to 2 in the BCS standings
Where they should've stayed to begin with.
A ton of Winston's passes were really really high, and Miami had some poor defense in on some of those plays. They're a good team, deserving of rank. But, I just don't know how well they'd do with an opponent like Alabama.
Alabama has gotten progressively better over the weeks, but I don't feel like they've been truly tested yet
I don't think they were at their peak potential yet like they are now back when they played TAMU
Well they've got LSU this coming Saturday, and Auburn later in the month. We shall definitely see where they stand. As far as Oregon, I've been saying all year they'll get upset once in conference. They've got Stanford either Saturday or next Saturday, so their game is coming soon too.
Oregon plays Stanford on Thursday night, as well as Baylor-Oklahoma.
