RE: state will lose to maryland

Duke is still at the top. State improved in the last game. Miami got some kudos last night, and UVA's stock went down at WF. MD has lost only two games. One was at K'Tucky. FSU has won several since losing early in the season. Based upon the wins UNC is maybe the 7-8th team right now. Four teams are at 2-0. Duke, State, Miami, and FSU. That's going to change this weekend.

If State loses to Duke they will be fired up to not lose another soon.

RE: state will lose to maryland

I saw the end of that Maryland-FSU game and trust me FSU is pretty darn good ...... so is Maryland. The reason Maryland lost that game was the tempo and Leonard hamilton's coaching. FSU is a very good defensive team (Hamilton trademark of all his teams). Maryland has a great perimeter game but I'm wondering if the light schedule early on might hurt them. I watched many of their games early on thru my XBox on ESPN3 (square TV feed, standard def), so that tells you the quality of their opponents. State can compete with them, and yes beat them.
