It was the recipe for disaster if you are the powers that be who run the world of ACC football – the title game that season would include a FSU football team who had lost badly the weekend before to rival Florida was taking on a 6-6 team from Georgia Tech that we’re still trying to figure out how they got there.
It was the first time that the ACC championship game did not feature two ranked teams and the Seminoles, at least on paper, were supposed to run all over the Yellow Jackets and their option offense on their way to the first BCS bowl game in a while – a trip to the Orange Bowl waiting for them on New Years Day.
