Watching live, I was genuinely concerned for the FSU receiver in the End Zone. He was fine (ESPN did a good job finding him to show a coach walking him out of the rush), but as someone who has thought the pearl clutching over the risks of court storming is silly, the prone FSU receiver seemed like he could be at real risk of getting trampled.

That's what happens when there are no barriers for the fans, particularly students, to navigate. They were all lined up ready to run directly onto the field as soon as the ball hit the ground.

All ACC teams are middling to bad.

FSU and Clemson may want to reconsider leaving the ACC and heading to the SEC or Big 10, as in their current state they'll get killed and will be consistent also-rans in those conferences. I'm sure they'd argue that by moving they will get a lot more money to recruit top talent and transfers, but other SEC schools will likely still have even more cash to throw at players. If Clemson or FSU do leave they may never play for a national title again, or even a SEC or Big 10 title.

But of course if they get the chance they'll jump anyway, largely on the belief that what do they have to lose.
 
Some good games today. #21 USC at #23 Illinois at noon. #4 LSU at #13 Miss at 3:30. And tonight #17 Alabama is at #5 Georgia, and #6 Oregon is at #3 Penn State

Yeah, I've never seen the fans get to line up, en masse, 3 feet from the playing field with no one really trying to stop them to rush the field. A few of those fans on the sideline were so close to the play they could have reasonably picked up a PI call had they attempted to do so.

And they were there for a while, too. They were on the field before the end of regulation ready to storm once the game was over. But then FSU tied it. I thought it would be funny if FSU ended up winning and all those fans would just have to sadly walk back up to the stadium.

Nah. Those three losses are just flesh wounds. We still have a chance. Right? 😢

I honestly dont think they are very good either. They won't win a playoff game.

They dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. At the very least, the won’t get blown out by anyone. Whether Cristobal can keep it together is an open question, but you’d be hard pressed to find a team better built for success.

Yes...against not great teams. Is Notre Dame really very good? I dont think so. South Florida isnt either. Florida definitely is not good.

I think Miami is a top 20ish team by the end of the year. They would not be in the top 1/3 of either the SEC or BIG.

Ok, I’ll check back with you at the end of the season.

Do that. Im sorry it hurts your feelings as a fan but it has been a few seasons since the ACC has produced a decent team.

Doesn’t hurt my feelings at all. I totally get the skepticism. But your comments give the impression that you’ve not watched much of UM this season. For the first time since they joined the ACC, they actually look like a damn good team. We shall see how that pans out as the season progresses.

I watched the Florida game and I understand what you see in them but I just dont share the enthusiasm

Had Coach K been out on that field, there would be an FBI Special Agent in Charge leading a press briefing this morning.
