Will they need to? I mean if they don't let anybody score I guess they will only need one a week won't they? I wonder who is better this year, Boston College or MU?
Bobby did well against the top of the SEC conference.
This is nothing new for Bowden, though, who admitted, in 1990: "I like to win games, and I can't think of a tougher place to do that than the SEC. Most conferences have got two really strong programs, but top to bottom there isn't one close to them."
What did he proceed to do against the SEC? Win games. Thus, history shows that he may have capitulated rather unduly, and inaccurately, on Finebaum's SEC Network call-in show, because the Seminoles' ACC -- and championship year -- record against the SEC demonstrates no such SEC dominance as perceived by the rest of the country, or Bowden, for that matter.
Florida State officially joined the ACC in 1991 and began participating as a football member in 1992. From that point on, the 'Noles actually boast a winning record against current SEC teams, at 18-14-1. One of those wins, a 2007 FSU victory over Alabama, was vacated, but the 'Noles nevertheless topped the Tide by a score of 21-14 in Jacksonville.
And, unlike the elite SEC programs, Florida State didn't register these wins over perennial conference basement dwellers. Of the 33 games the 'Noles have played against current-SEC teams since 1992, every single one has come against a team that went to a bowl game the year FSU played them, with the lone exception being the Seminoles' 37-7 dismantling of a laughingly bad 4-8 2013 Florida team. Those SEC squads that did make postseason play competed in overwhelmingly premier bowls, 18 of which are now included among the big six that presently rotate as hosts of the College Football Playoff(Orange, Sugar, Rose, Fiesta, Cotton, and Peach), and another seven played in New Year's Day games.
