So, all the talk about Florida State doing what the ACC normally does, which is gag in the spotlight…well, that never happened.
The #1 ranked Seminoles took care of business Saturday night, winning the ACC Championship in Charlotte, NC over a game Duke squad, 45-7.
And was never that close.
Famous Jameis Winston threw 3 TD passes, 2 of them to Kelvin Benjamin, and Florida State's defense shutout the Blue Devils until the end of the game when they gave up a late touchdown.
The win, seals FSU's berth in the BCS title game on January 6th, likely vs. Auburn. And it gives the so-called college football experts, a month to argue about who is better…
((note--It also sets up what should be an interesting month for Brother Jon, who went to FSU and his better half Patty who went to Auburn. Have fun with this one kids))

CFB Recap: FSU Stakes Claim to #1 After Whipping Florida
The game was over shortly after Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo drilled a 49-yard field goal in the 1st quarter.
FSU scored as needed and the University of Florida--well, they barely scored at all as the Seminoles beat their in-state rivals 37-7 in Gainesville.
Jameis Winston threw for 327 yards and 3 TD's, all to WR Kelvin Benjamin as Florida State climbs to 12-0 and after Alabama's loss, likely becomes the #1 team in all the land.
As for Florida, the loss, their 7th straight drops them to 4-8 and an offseason of change. The Gators offense, injuries aside struggled in every game and the defense while good, wasn't good enough to make a difference.
FSU moves on to the ACC title game next Saturday vs. Duke, a game where they likely will be heavily favored. And while the specter of Winston possibly being charged in a 2012 incident still hangs over the team, it doesn't appear it will change their status.

CFB Saturday: FSU Steamrolls Clemson
So, what happens when a "Game of the Century" ends up being a blowout? Or when you pick the home team to win it, and that team loses by uh..37 at home?
Well, Florida State ended any question about who was the king of the ACC and may have inserted themselves into the BCS title picture after absolutely embarrassing Clemson 51-14 in front of 80,000-plus stunned fans in Northwest South Carolina.
Once insanely talented Florida St. QB Jameis Winston threw an early 23-yard TD pass to WR Kelvin Benjamin just a couple minutes into the game, well, the rout was on.
27-7 at the half, 41-7 after 3 quarters and everyone in Tallahassee could take a deep breath, their beloved Seminoles are back.
Winston would end up throwing for 444 yards and 3 TD's, 2 of them to Rashard Greene to lead FSU to their biggest win in many, many years.
As for Clemson, we've all been waiting for them to, well, pull a Clemson--lose a game they shouldn't. We aren't saying the should not have lost THIS game, they looked over-matched and unable to keep up with a much more superior and rested team.
The Tigers fumbled on their 1st play from scrimmage and turned the ball over 4 different times.
Florida State moves to 6-0 and will be heavily favored to win the rest of their games this season. The only question is whether it will be enough to move them ahead of Alabama or Oregon.
But hey, that's why they play the game.
