FSU or Louisville? Who should we pull for?

Either way I'll be watching. Just what are the chances FSU loses two conference games this year? Who should win Thursday?

FSU to lose twice, so that's what I'm pulling for. However, most of tnet seems to be rooting for us to finish second place in our division

I don't see FSU losing twice........however a team like FSU

who has their hopes set on a National title........if they lose ONE it could open them up for a "letdown" game again.......it's very difficult to see that happening though.
until FSU actually loses to louisville i have to pull for FSU to win out and us to win out to get the orange bowl.

Our chances for that decreases if FSU only lost one game.

If FSU ends up having a letdown this Thursday night, then they may feel deflated because their playoff hopes would likely get dashed, and they could end up playing flat in their subsequent games. Their opponents will likely be having something to play for as they will probably be playing for bowl eligibility.
It could kinda look like our 2011 season where we had our first loss to Georgia Tech. Our season took a downward spiral afterward with more losses following that game (except for a win to Wake Forest to clinch division).
If FSU loses to Louisville, their second loss could possibly be like our NC State loss in 2011 where we played flat (in our case, we already had the Atlantic division clinched), but NC State had a lot more to play for than us (going for bowl eligibility).
Also, remember what happened with Alabama after they lost to Auburn last year in the Iron Bowl. They followed with loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl (to whom they were a double digit favorite over). No one imagined that Nick Saban's team (as tough of a coach he is) would have two losses in a row, and everyone thought that Alabama would rout Oklahoma.

Looking through my orange glasses I want them to lose twice, but realistically they wont lose the rest of the season, so realistically I have to root for them to win out.

Well its a tough position because we either need them to win out or lose two...I think UofL will give them a game but I really don't see them losing another one anyways...Miami depending on how healthy Duke is could possibly give them a game but I don't know that Miami could beat them passing...just think FSU wins out easily

I don't see any 2 loss teams making the playoff. Our best hope is the Orange bowl as FSU's understudy if FSU goes to the playoff. Have to pull for Mr Crab Legs.
