Prior to the Notre Dame game, I suggested that this five game stretch on our schedule--which included 4 home games and a road trip to BC--would make or brake our season.
 
Three games into this stretch of games, we've trounced Notre Dame and held on to win closely contested contests against  Georgia Tech /Virginia Tech at home.  Tomorrow night, we play a tough FSU sqaud--the last home game of this subset.
 
At the beginning of the five games, I would have been pleased with 4-1.  However, 5-0 maximizes our chances to qualify for the tournament, and stubbing our toe against FSU would not only put us in the hole record wise, but also squander an opportunity for us to win a winnable game at home, with a tough stretch of road games looming.
 
Given that we've had 9 days off to rest / recuperate from any minor bumps and bruises, I think tommorrow's contest has a "must win" feel to it.  That's not to say that a loss couldn't be overcome, but I want to take all of the guess work out of the committee's hands when it comes to us qualifying for an NCAA berth.
 
Just win, baby!  Rack up a win against FSU, get a weak BC on the road, and we're positioned with 18 wins with 5 games remaining in the season [winnable games against Pitt / NC State at home and FSU on the road, with on paper tougher road games @ UNC / Louisivlle].
