Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
You're a hilarious parody of yourself.

I am absolutely sick. I think I'm just going to cry myself to sleep.

Oh don't give me that BS. There was the missed personal foul against FSU for the hit to the head of Sammie Coates that should have wiped an interception which FSU got a TD off of. There were clear holds not called against FSU but they made sure to call holding against AU. Just take your football and shut up.
I was pulling for FSU by the way. But whatever.
7-3 in bowl games. Clearly overrated..... LMAO.
How did that "Top 50" Ohio team do again? Such a good team were they according to you? 7-6 and curb stomped by East Carolina of Conference USA? LMAO! Clearly you're a college football guru.

Just stop. You know very well Auburn played with FSU till the end. You were expecting a complete blowout and it didn't happen. The only thing FSU proved is that they are as good as a top tier SEC team. If FSU had an SEC schedule they would have played many more close games.
There is no doubt though that FSU brings in as much talent as the best SEC teams year in and year out.

Blaming the refs, cute....I suppose we should just ignore the 4-5 calls that didn't called on Auburn? They flat out mugged FSU's WRs in the 1st half and nothing got called.

Being a child of the 90's I always felt like cfb was better off with the Noles in the hunt. They get some serious talent from South Georgia, and Bowden was always a stand up fella to root for. They have great tradition and good program.
LOL, that was no where close to a personal foul on the int. How about the horsecollar tackle? The "unsportsmanlike conduct" on the td that could have completely changed the game? Auburn defensive backs were grabbing the entire game...not surprising with a Big 10 officiating crew that they would overlook that. How about Auburn recovering 3 of their own fumbles?
You talking about this year or last year?
Was expecting blowout, but FSU played like ****. But, they still won. They proved that they were better than the top tier SEC teams.

You could play that game 100x and that sucker might turn out 50\50. It was one of the most evenly matched games in recent memory (NCG). You are high as hell.
There is a reason FSU was 10.5 point favorites. Once they stopped beating themselves, they rolled over Auburn.

Did you watch the game? Auburn's DC called a great first half and confused Winston big time with all those blitzes. Auburn has SEC speed in the front 7. Winston was struggling mainly because of that. Auburn played a terrible special teams game (the injury on the kick return) and had some calls go against them as well, so it goes both ways. I'm not going to tell you that FSU wasn't the best team in football as I personally thought they were. But they weren't head and shoulders above this year's top tier SEC teams. They would have been challenged in the SEC. They just weren't challenged in the ACC.
The blitz got to him at times, but they had several dropped passes that is very uncharacteristic of FSU. Mainly Benjamin. They also were getting mugged by the Auburn defensive backs and it took them time to adjust to how the refs were allowing contact.
LOL; Auburn has "SEC" speed in the front 7. FSU has "SEC" speed at every position.
Of the 22 offensive and defensive starters, 18 arrived as four- or five-star recruits, and 11–fully half–were rated in Rivals.com's top 100 prospects in their respective classes. Nine were projected as the No. 1 or No. 2 prospect at their respective positions, including Jameis Winston, the No. 10 overall player in 2012. (To put that last number in perspective, Alabama has five starters who were ranked No. 1 or 2 at their positions, and the Crimson Tide have assembled Rivals' No. 1 overall recruiting class five of the last six years. Auburn has three.) After a solid decade of diminishing returns on good-not-great recruiting efforts under Bowden, the celebrated 2011 and 2012 classes under Fisher are leaving the hype in the dust.
(*If you're keeping score at home: Jameis Winston, James Wilder Jr., Nick O'Leary, Mario Edwards Jr., Timmy Jernigan, Eddie Goldman, Christian Jones, Lamarcus Joyner and Ronald Darby.)
All of which is to say that any and all comparisons to Notre Dame last year (or, say, Ohio State in 2006-07) in respect to"SEC Speed," etc, are woefully misguided. True, the schedule (like the vast majority of college schedules) hasn't presented FSU with a week-in, week-out gauntlet. But where the Fighting Irish scratched, clawed and lucked their way into the championship game against Bama by the skin of their teeth, the Seminoles have obliterated every opponent on that schedule with historic ease: At 42.3 points per game, they're on pace to record the widest scoring margin of any major team, against any schedule, since World War II.
