I thought "SLEEPERS" meant like the Utahs or the Marshalls or Louisville. NOT The football giants that are always there.
Right now, everyone has penciled in VT to win the ACC. The media is hyping VT as one of the few teams that would have a shot against USC. Meanwhile, FSU has already beat Miami and BC, who are toughest teams on their schedule. This has all the ingredients for a FSU upset after VT has a let down after beating Miami.
FSU has been one of my suprise teams this season. I kept saying they were overrated to be ranked 15th... but that is a talented team. With a more developed QB they would be deadly.
I see it differently. I see VT as a dump-truck rolling downhill with no brakes, particularly if Vick keeps up his current play. And VT's defense is worth at least 1 TD/game. FSU's offense is too weak for that D. Yes, FSU has a solid D as well. But I think VT will be too much for them to handle.
On paper, VT looks to be the obvious choice. But these two teams are developing quite a rivalry and also thrive on, "special teams," play. The VT - Miami game should paint a clearer picture.
