Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – your most recent OOC results count a lot, and you’ll see me reference that throughout the season.

After clobbering Florida Saturday, the Seminoles finished the season playing some of the best football in the country. Remember back on October 1st when FSU lost 37-35 to UNC at home?

This was supposed to be the year that Georgia Tech’s so-called antiquated option offense would finally run it’s course. Following last year’s injury plagued 3-9 season, Paul Johnson’s critics came out of the woodwork. See they said, the triple option had been solved, and he doesn’t recruit well enough.

I can’t figure out NC State can you? They should have beat ECU, Clemson, BC and Florida State. All were games that the Wolfpack were in position to win. NC State could have easily went into the UNC game 8-3 or 9-2, but they weren’t. This was a 5-6 team playing for their bowl lives …
