Do you want FSU early or late this year?
Jan 19, 2016, 9:46 AM

We're in their house...
Is it better to catch them early, when they are breaking in new guys (and we are too, unfortunately, on D)?
Or late in the season when both teams could still be highly ranked but we have hopefully a better gameplan, knowing what our teams are like?
I think I'd like an early match if it was at home, but maybe on the road I want to make sure the D is battle-tested and get them later. I bet Louisville will come either right before or right after just to give us that yearly "oh boy look at this clump of hard matchups right here all bunched together"...

Early, it gives both teams time/distance from the game for the loser(FSU) yo recover in the rankings so they will help our strength of schedule. we are already at a disadvantage in SOS because of the 2 worthless SEC teams, Aw-burn and Carobama.

Later. Give big Mike a chance to get into the groove. Also, we could use the defense getting some experience before then.

I think we have to beat them, playing them early doesn't help us.

Can we get the offense to play them early...
Jan 19, 2016, 10:42 AM

and get the defense to play them later? It might help with developing the D since we have so many losses on that side of the ball.

Don't see why not. Post yesterday suggested that we play one Clemson team the first half and another for the second. Just split the fsu game down the middle

I would prefer to have them around week 5 or so and I'd like to have an ACC game before them (so not week 4). I'd rather use the bye before GT (for obvious reasons). And hopefully we avoid the thursday night game this year. And as I'm planning to finally get to Boston this year, I hope that game isn't in November.
IE, something like this (thrown together in about 2 minutes off the top of my head) .
Aubarn
Troy
SCSt
*@ Wake/Cuse/Pitt/@ BC
@ FSU
bye
@ GT
*@ Wake/Cuse/Pitt/@ BC
Louisville
*@ Wake/Cuse/Pitt
NCSU
*@ Wake/Cuse/Pitt
USC
ACC Champ in Charlotte

Early. We have a vet QB and offense coming back and they are still young on that side and
Jan 19, 2016, 11:50 AM

unsettled at QB. Offenses take time to gel while defenses are often much more stable from day 1. I wouldn't mind playing them in sept.
That said the acc probably wants to milk their one marquee game that will surely have playoff implications so expect Nov.

Better for us to play them early this year because they will have a new QB. I think it's more exciting when we play them later, feels like the first game of the playoff when both are undefeated.

Play them early in October. Our offense will be settled and secondary play will need growth time. Their offense will be a question to some extent so split the difference. I just hope we do not have Ga. Tech on either side of FSU.
Go Tigers!

However, the earliest that could be is September 24th since the 1st 3 weekends are already scheduled.
