FSU Played Three Ranked Teams...

Jan 10, 2023, 1:25 PM

And lost to all three of them. We played five ranked teams and beat four of them. FSU ended 10-3, we ended 11-3. We beat FSU at FSU. We were ACC champs. FSU was not. For those who say FSU won their last six games...they beat Georgia Tech, Miami Fla., Syracuse, Louisiana, Florida, and Oklahoma, all pretty lousy to mediocre teams. IMHO, FSU should not be ahead of us in the rankings.

Of the ranked teams we beat, I believe FSU was the only one that finished in the top 25. We also lost to an unranked team while every FSU loss was to ranked teams. FSU also beat LSU who finished in the top 20 even though LSU wasn't ranked at the time they played. Every FSU loss was by 10 points or less while we had 2 losses by 17+ points.

Could they have ranked us ahead of FSU in the final poll? They certainly could, but I think it came down to who the voters felt was the better team at the time the season ended. I'm not sure I can say with full confidence we would beat FSU if we played them right now considering we were blown out in 2 of our final 6 games and had a loss at home to an unranked team within those final 6 games. That's not to mention that our bowl game blow out came against a team playing without their Heisman contending QB and their #1 receiver.

I'm as positive of a person as any, but I can't bring myself around to getting angry over FSU ending up ranked ahead of us.

FSU wasn't better than us during or after the season. All anyone remembers is them lining up for an onside kick against us. No one mentions that DJ missed 4 wide open TD's, missed as didn't even see the receivers. DJ kept us from blowing them out of their own stadium yet again.

So how does it work? Do you get credit for the ranking a team has when you play them or what their ranking is at the end of the year? NC State looked really good until they lost their QB. So, is that a good win or a bad win? #6 Tennessee beats Clemson by 17 with a very good 2nd string QB missing one receiver. Clemson (without some defensive players) only scores 14 points with over 480 yards of offense after rolling UNC in the championship game. Tennessee is still at #6 so they must be just as good as before losing their QB, but we drop six spots. Washington beats an 8-5 Texas by 7 points and moves up. I don't see a consistent logic.

It's not how you start, it's how you finish for voters in a year end poll.

be relevant again. On the flip side, when we beat them at home next year, and then again in the ACC Championship, it will only lend credibility.

What?

We played 4 ranked teams and lost to 3 of them.

#6 Tenn
#11 FSU
#18 ND
#23 SCar

Don't do that SEC thing where you use the ranking at the time the teams played. Only final rankings are relevant.

Final rankings are not the only relevant thing

Injuries happen and derail seasons. NCSU is likely an 11 win team with Leary and we beat them with him. The playoff committee factors in who was on the field when you played them - there is a reason for that - also a reason the CFP is the only relevant poll and why they don’t release one post-bowls(exhibitions)

I tend to agree with you looking at the facts you've laid out. Apparently what did the Tigers in were those two end-of-the-season losses. Voters had the season's ending fresh in their minds and not the season as a whole. In any case, if this doesn't motivate the team for next year, nothing will...

Who cares what they are ranked. I would bet they would trade for the win against the Tigers this year and Clemson's 7 game year win streak against them.
