Saw this on TOS and thought it would be a good topic for discussion.
What are everyones thoughts?
I think it's NCState. We are clearly the better and more talented team but I think they will give us their best shot. They played very well at the end of last year and were also ravaged by injuries. It's our first real out of state road game right after an emotional game against USF.

Wasn't it 34 zip last year, does everyone really think they have improved that much? I know its an away game and all but we destroyed them last year I just don't see it.
Not sure I see a trap game this year, if we cant manage this schedule this year I don't know what to say.

NC State without a question. Reminds me of Wake last year after we beat them 31-0 the year before (Same score we beat NC State by in 2011). Glennon is no slouch and they will have a solid O line and a good defensive backfield.

The only team besides NCSU I could see us looking over is VT. Sounds nuts but they could be a 2 loss team, and we could be undefeated coming off a bye week looking toward UF. None of our players have played at VT.

Yeah, I think the easy answer to this one is NC State. That place can be difficult to play in.

I don't think UMD will win one conference game this season, unless Duke is on their schedule, and even Duke has a 50/50 chance of winning that game.
Their starting QB this season is going to be a walk-on since C.J. Brown is done for the year.

Respectfully disagree. With the definition of a trap game being one immediately before or after a game with a rival, USF falls in that category. Don't we play Clemson before USF and between the NSCU game...

Probably should have prefaced that with it was my opinion. I typically think of a trap game as a game FSU could lose because they don't take the opponent seriously due to looking ahead to a game against a higher ranked opponent or rival.
The only games I consider trap games would be Wake (looking ahead to Clemson and USF),
NC State and Boston College as the rivalry game with Miami would be next after those, and Maryland since the UF game is after that.
Out of those I think NC State poses the best possibility of upsetting FSU. I don't think it will happen but they have the best chance in my opinion.
USF would be more of a let down game as the team will be coming off a highly contested game against Clemson.

Naw, USF tucked in between CU and NCST.
No way a Rival, UF or Miami, is EVER a trap game. If it is, your coaching staff isn't doing their job. You ALWAYS get up for your rivals!

They didn't play that well and we had arguably our best game of the year against them. NCST beat CU, UNC, UVA, and Louisville last year. They weren't a bad team last year and will likely be a better team this year. I think the blow out last year actually increases the danger this year. NCST imo is definitely the trap game this year and I would not be surprised at all if they have a pretty good season.
