Where does undefeated Florida State rank among the greatest teams ever? - SBNation.com
For 59 minutes, Florida State didn't look like the best team in Pasadena. And FSU played a very weak schedule. But putting together all of the 2013 season, the Noles rank as one of the best of the BCS era. How about beyond the BCS era?
