CFBHurts 17 SMU is a tough call, on the one hand they completely dominated FSU down to down, but it was also their own unforced errors that kept FSU in the game. For now they're going in the middle of the pack

elnino550 17 The score against FSU didn't do them justice, they dominated this game and I believe they're the 2nd best team in the conference, the game against Louisville next week is huge in terms of who will make the ACC title game / get an at-large spot in the CFP.

Justanother_0 21 The Florida State game is still fresh in my memory. However, I am pretty confident that the Mustangs will get right as the weeks go on.

xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx 21 (+1) Really front-loaded schedule. FSU & Louisville to start the season, then only really Virginia & Notre Dame for the rest. Maybe VT and perhaps Syracuse are thought of as good by the time they play, but not that much to be afraid of here
douchebagjack 22 P4 + FCS win. I think FSU will be worse than Kansas
