Tears Nole Tears (“Offcial”)

Btw, FSU's schedule is shockingly weak. They are probably circling their game with us already.

They literally might have the easiest schedule in P5.

I'd put FSU on upset alert week 1. And I dont think they will be 4-8 like the other school bad but they are def going to regress...and knowing them even 9-3 or 8-4 and they will be all over Norvell and start saying he was a fluke.

But unless DJ U gets on a heater they will have their hands full with GTech. They return a real solid group on offense and played really well down the stretch last season including giving UGA all they could handle.

No ****. Spoke with a recent nole grad while on vacation in Destin. Kid literally said it's natty or bust. Just making it to Acc title game isn't going to be enough. He was a nice kid so I just changed the subject.

Have you looked at ours? UF, Louisville, FSU. Similar to FSU. They have Clemson, Miami, UNC, ND, UF. Might even sy they have a tougher schedule.

I can see 3 losses there through my orange and green glasses.

Miami's schedule is much, much weaker. FSU's schedule isn't even close to the easiest in the P4, let's try to be 1% real here. They actually have a sneaky tough schedule, IMO, and it's the main reason that I think they're going to lose 3 or so games.

--Against GT in Dublin 8/24 -- not a cakewalk

--Then fly back across the world and play the following week, although the game is on Monday (labor day), home against Boston College on 9/2

--Bye week 9/7

--Memphis at FSU at noon on 9/14. Another game they'll be favored to win, but again, not a cakewalk. Memphis isn't Ball State or FAMU. They went 10-3 last year, won a bowl game by double digits, their only losses were to Missouri by 7, Tulane by 10, and SMU by 4. All 3 of those teams won 11 games last year. Memphis also returns their QB, Seth Henigan, who will be in his 4th year as a full-time starter. This is a legit opponent

-- Cal at FSU -- should be a win

-- FSU at SMU -- Fighting Lashlee's are gonna be good again, went 11-3 last year. FSU is on the road in this one with Clemson looming the following week. FSU likely less than a TD favorite.

-- Clemson at FSU -- As mentioned above, obviously a tough game here, but it is at Doak. FSU likely a very small favorite.

-- Bye week 10/12

-- Friday night game at Duke. Should be a win but the weeknight games get really weird sometimes.

-- FSU at Miami -- obviously a loss here. FSU will likely be an underdog or very small favorite.

-- UNC at FSU -- So now in the last 5 weeks they've played at SMU, Clemson, had a bye, at Duke, and at Miami, and now UNC comes to town with the best back in the ACC. If FSU has a couple losses at this point, this could easily be another.

-- FSU at Notre Dame -- they're going to be an underdog in this game.

-- Bye week 11/16

-- Charleston Southern at FSU -- here's their one true cupcake

-- The gator at FSU -- Surely FSU will be favored but anything can happen here.

That is NOT the easiest schedule in the P4. Not even close. They're losing at least a couple/few of those games. At Miami. At Notre Dame. At SMU. At Duke on a Friday. In another country against GT. Home against Clemson. Home against Memphis. Home against UNC. Home against the gator. There are a LOT of toss-up or close to toss-up games on that schedule.

Miami meanwhile doesn't play Clemson. Doesn't play UNC. Doesn't play Notre Dame. OOC games are the gator (just like FSU), Ball State, FAMU, and USF. Gross. Miami has a MUCH easier schedule than FSU.

I completely missed the ND game when I read their schedule. It changes a ton on calculus.

I don't see FSU winning that game. There are a few other tossups.

Yup, and it was announced today that it's a 7:30 kick too. Will be loud and cold in November.

If they lose 1 or Jesus can you imagine 2 of those first 3 games (GT in Dublin, home vs BC, home vs Memphis), they're going 8-4 at best. They're losing to us and Notre Dame. That would be 3 losses already. And they're not going 5-0 vs SMU on the road, Clemson, at Duke on a Friday, UNC, and the gator.

IMO their ceiling year is 10-2. Their floor year is 6-6. They likely go 8-4 or maybe 9-3 if they can squeeze out a couple wins in close games.

Accumulation will be a factor there. Though, I think they luck out by playing the gator late. You never know, with injuries, but the accumulation for the gator is gonna be insane.
