August 5, 201412 yr 1) Florida State 2) Oklahoma 3) Alabama 4) Ohio State Bama gets revenge on Oklahoma for last year. FSU blows out OSU. Coker beats Winston and Bama gets #16.
August 5, 201412 yr 1. FSU- weak schedule/conf 2. LSU- watch out for these guys 3. OSU- another weak schedule/conf 4. Bama- rebuilding with tons of talent Bama vs. LSU in the final with Bama winning on missed last second field goal attempt by LSU returned for a TD. Charma..... The ACC is weak? Really? FSU has a weak schedule? Really? Don't confuse my incredulation with the belief that the ACC is anywhere near the SEC but I wouldn't think they are any lower than 4th toughest conference.

I wouldn't call the schedule weak. Not saying it is one of the toughest ones in the country. I think it is a quality schedule though. Especially compared to past years.
August 6, 201412 yr Did you mean Florida State? Nope. I mean Florida. Two years removed from a 11-2 record (7-1 SEC). Last year they were killed with injuries. Driskell is in an offense that suits his style better. Florida will be back to the Florida of old this year.
August 6, 201412 yr If Florida made it, they'd have earned it for sure. They have road games at the preseason #1 & 2 teams in the country (FSU and Bama), also travel to Georgia, and to top it off have home games against LSU, South Carolina, and Mizzou. Plus to be in playoff they probably made the SEC title game so there's that too. If that's not the toughest schedule in the country it's close. I see a bounce back year too, but I see it with four losses (FSU, Bama, LSU, and either Georgia or South Carolina).

August 7, 201412 yr Oklahoma/Baylor Oregon/Stanford Georgia/Alabama Ohio State/Michigan State Florida State I think that 4 of those 9 make the field. I see FSU dropping a regular season game and it being enough to torpedo their chances.
August 20, 201412 yr I'd say 4 SEC teams should make it. Ala LSU SC ??? Why has no one picked Auburn? They were 13 seconds away from a National Championship last year. Their schedule is toughest in the country, but until someone stops Malzahn's offense Im picking them. Other three are: Oregon LSU Florida State
August 20, 201412 yr Oklahoma/Baylor Oregon/Stanford Georgia/Alabama Ohio State/Michigan State Florida State I think that 4 of those 9 make the field. I see FSU dropping a regular season game and it being enough to torpedo their chances. Boo this man! In all honesty, I just don't know who on their schedule would beat them. It would have to be the old "what the?!?" loss that seemingly got FSU every year before last year. I don't see anyone other than perhaps Clemson coming into Doak and winning - unless Florida is better than I anticipate. And with all due respect to Louisville, their worst road game will be at Miami. OK State will not be ready for them in the first game of the year.

I don't think Florida is better than you anticipate, but I think that they're good enough to play one inspired game and be a spoiler to an FSU team who is distracted by Jameis and has an ACC loss. My Final Four if I had to pick today: 1. Oregon 2. Alabama 3. Oklahoma 4. Michigan State
