Yes, we (FSU included) need to start winning these early year OOC games.  Losing the SEC matchups at the end of the year hurts badly as well, but the ACC being more or less wiped out of the top 25 by the third week makes it impossible to catch up.
 
Look at the Big 12 last year.  They did almost nothing OOC (KSU did drum Miami) but the entire conference made themselves look good by whipping up on WVU.  Never mind that WVU turned out to be lousy.  They started highly ranked and were there when conference play started.  After last year's bad Big 12 bowl season, they aren't likely to have highly ranked teams, and they're going to see themselves take a hit to their perception.  In my opinion.
 
Too many years the ACC starts the bulk of conference play with everyone having been knocked out of the rankings, so no matter what anybody does in the conference schedule, there's nowhere to climb.
 
I think there's a case to be made that the ACC needs to lighten up or at least be a little more strategic in their OOC scheduling so they can get into conference play in one piece.
