When did Boston College leave the ACC. This article says that FSU will be seeking its first conference win playing against Clemson???

Yes, but as we've learned with these sports talking heads, facts don't mean a thing, and they won't allow the actual FACTS get in the way of them saying whatever to fit their own personal agenda!!! Go Tigers, just make it a fact that you guy's spanked FSU in the real college FB Death Valley!!!

Love how these so called national experts don't mention that BC beat itself against FSU with 18 penalties. That's enough infractions for three games.

Call it orange-colored arrogance if you want; I am confident going into this game. And, I was confident going in pre-FSU v. BC.
The Duke game was 1 in 100. The perfect storm against a well-coached veteran team playing at home.
I think we handle business; Dabo being good in these situations doesn't hurt either!

whatever..."
So it was windy only on FSU's side of the field? What an incredible weather phenomenon.

Spot the ball and let’s see how good this team is. I pull for Clemson and I bought into the hype from preseason, but then the Duke game happened. Spot the ball and show us what this team has!

Y'all have nailed it, and to add, what I found funny was the guy literally illustrates his need for his talking points when he's frustrated by the results his computer gave him, lol.
What is also funny is all the pundits talk about how FSU went on a roll at the end of the year, blah blah.
They lost to the 3 best/better teams in the division, then went on to win the rest of their games - I believe their opponents combined record for the rest of the season was below .500; then they beat I believe was a .500 and not good OU team. Whooopeee
Apparently they're a top 5 team then after accomplishing all that, haha.
Now they have a ton of talent, are moving in the right direction and have certainly made GREAT portal adds. AND, they did play lights out for a half against LSU - which was helped by LSU (at the same time) playing awful. Some of that could be because FSU, but watching it certainly seemed more like LSU went flat.
And to that point and I stand by this, if we'd played Duke on Saturday of that weekend I bet we win by the spread or more. I truly think FSU/LSU the night before we played hurt - it shouldn't but these are kids still - you gotta know the kids all watched that game. Huge hype and then to see FSU win the way they did, guarantee it distracted our kids as they started looking ahead; and thus, didn't show up ready or focused to play Duke.
And here we are. I like our Tigers on Saturday. As long as we don't turn the ball over I think we win, and it could be handily. FSU doesn't strike me that they're mature enough/yet to handle not only being the hunted, but getting over the hump of 'being the guy'.

something about our offense being able to score, when our offense is in the top 10, while FSU's defense is average at best.....
