The Tar Heels are sitting in 4th place in the ACC but I think their tournament prospects are far from guaranteed.
This is the final BCS Championship Game. It might not be the matchup we thought we were getting for most of the season but it features an undefeated Heisman winner against a team from the SEC so we can’t be too shocked.
Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston will led No. 1 Florida State against No. 2 Auburn in the Vizio BCS National Championship Game on Monday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Florida lost to Georgia Southern last week which is making this matchup between the supposed two best teams in the state of Florida look like a battle between the haves and have nots.
This is a very curious game at this stage of the schedule as Florida State steps out of the ACC for a date with the Idaho Vandals.
No team has surpassed expectations this season than the second-ranked Florida State Seminoles, who face another tough ACC foe on Saturday when they host the Syracuse Orange.
After a statement victory versus rival Miami (FL) Florida State faces it’s greatest foe; themselves. Florida State goes heads to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to play the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in an early Saturday game.
It has been a long time since this game had any real meaning. – I know I am old enough to remember Wide Right, are you?. Both of these teams are ranked in the top 10, leading their respective ACC divisions and of course undefeated.
Quarterback Jameis Winston continues to grab national headlines as he delivers consistently outstanding performances for the third-ranked Florida State Seminoles. Flying high off their biggest win of the season, he’ll look to deliver another strong performance against another ACC opponent, the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
The Florida State Seminoles and the Clemson Tigers are set to face off in Week 7, in what will be the first ACC battle since 2005 when both conference opponents are ranked in the top five in the country. Clemson is No. 3, while the Seminoles are No. 5.
The Florida State Seminoles excite with their wins even if they are not a very exciting team to watch. They took down Duke and North Carolina in the regular season and did so again in the ACC tournament to earn the conference’s automatic bid.
You have to hand it to NC State for pushing the Tar Heels about as far as possible. Sure North Carolina was without John Henson, but that was an inspired effort by the Wolfpack – maybe it earned them a bid.
Florida State will travel to Durham, North Carolina to take on the Devils on Saturday, looking for a rare win at Cameroon Indoor Stadium, a place they have only won once in the last three decades.
The Virginia Cavaliers will look to keep their ACC Coastal Division hopes alive when they face-off against the Florida State Seminoles this Saturday night in Tallahassee. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2.
This season has not gone according to plan with these 2 teams from the Sunshine State, as Miami is still one win away from being bowl eligible at 5-4 and FSU is at 6-3 and had legit BCS hopes this season.
