I was watching that game in a downton Milwaukee brew pub on Saturday. Who knew there were so many Iowa grads among the Cheeseheads? Floyd comes home!

Way to go Hawkeyes!

Outside of a Maiden show that's gotta be the best way to score a fat heavy-metal pig.

We're savoring this one. Not only will wins be pretty scarce this year, but I also read that the price of bacon will be going up soon

I missed going to the Maiden concert when it came here. Just had surgery and didn't think the mosh pit would have done my arm much good at all

That being said, it really is one game at a time. Nc state upset us in '98 and somehow we still made the title game. Won't happen this year. that is a tough home crowd there with a team that has beaten us. I do credit a lot of that to amato knowing exactly how to defend us back then, and having more talent as well.

Noles lost there on their last visit in '10 after Amato departed (and rejoined Bobby). Also, O'Brien has had success vs FSU as head coach at BC. This will not be a gimme...they put up 37 against Miami so the "D" must be prepared.

Good news for the Seminoles with Florida taking down LSU. If FSU can keep winning (along with UF) and then take down the Gators at the end of the season, they have a real shot at making it into the championship game.

[NadalDramaQueen]

Unbelievable. What a waste. Terrible game.

Crazy day in CFB with #3, #4 and #5 all going down.

Oregon dominating UW so far, that's what we like to see!

[soyizgood]

FSU just another overrated ACC team. How do you blow that lead against a weak NC State squad that couldn't run the ball the whole game?

Beavers off to a 4-0 start. Could be a shootout with the Ducks at the end for the division....

Yeah, OSU looks really strong this year, especially on defense. Already eclipsed their win total from last season. Should be interesting to see how we handle the rest of this UW game, and to see how we handle ASU, Stanford, USC and Oregon State. Not an easy schedule the rest of the way.

[NadalDramaQueen]

Alright, given that FSU is terrible, I'll have to go with Oregon. Anyone but Alabama.

[soyizgood]

We may need a LOL @ Miami thread. I'm sure the Noles and Gator fans would gladly chip in for that one.

[stringertom]

Having to settle for FGs is a recipe for disaster! Ask Jimbo and Les. Add in an INT, a fumble, a couple of key injuries or a blocked punt and you're on the losing end in a game you need to win.

BTW, what was the blue/white side of the Notre Dame helmets? Very FUGLY!

We a not overrated, we will put so many guys in the nfl this season it will be a joke. The problem is we coached down to our competition. There is no excuse to lose to nc state. It is a shame..our season is over and we wont be in the NT hunt next year.

But imo it was a very poorly coached game on the offensive side. Far too conservative for the talent we have. An outsider might say we are overrated, but it is simoly not the case. We have 20x the talent of nc state and the scheme was set up like we were inferior.

I wont be suprised if we beat um and uf. There is no pressure now. The acc is a clown conference and winning that means almost nothing except a bowl game. (money for old men) . So we will probably play better now that the presure is off, and unfortunatley we are playing for nothing but a state title.

Well, FSU will win the ACC if NC State loses again. If NC State can beat Clemson and win the rest of their games, then they will be in the ACC championship game. They hold the tiebreaker over FSU, and Clemson would have 2 conference losses. NCSU is the only ACC Atlantic team that controls their own destiny at this point.

With that being said, LETS GO WOLFPACK!

[Power Player]

Ill tell you what..those 3 straight 4th down conversions were clutch..wow. Amazing game.

[stringertom]

They say if you lose, lose early and not by much to a ranked foe. Two of the three criteria were met. If NCSU continues to rise, the third one will make the loss less impactful. FSU obviously needs to win out and have some help from another ACC foe, most probably Clemson. Then, if Florida comes to Tallahassee unbeaten and we can win, it will boost our power number. Losses by WVU, Notre Dame and Oregon (where is the Civil War this year?) would bring the Noles back into the NT picture. Stranger things have happened.

The ACC and the Big 10 are lousy. No way they should be guaranteed a BCS birth when the top team is so mediocre.

I agree, they were, but I admit that Florida State should have won that game. If they had played the second half with the same mindset as the 1st half, then I think we are talking about a 34-10 blow out.

FL State was ranked number 3 and lost to a mediocre team who had only beaten The Citadel, UConn, and South Alabama. Thats the definition of being overrated.
