COLLEGE PARK, Md. --- Christian Ponder was pleased as time expired at Byrd Stadium on Saturday night. The Florida State quarterback had returned from injury and helped the Seminoles secure a 30-16 victory in his final regular-season conference game.
Still, as he approached some Terrapins during postgame handshakes, he couldn't help but want a little more.
"I told all those Maryland guys that we'd appreciate it if they'd beat up on N.C. State next week," Ponder said with a smile.
While the Seminoles (8-3, 6-2 ACC) head home for their annual game against Florida -- a once-fierce rivalry turned one-sided since Urban Meyer appeared on the Sunshine State scene five years ago --- their dreams of an Atlantic Division title remain rooted on the same field where they beat Maryland (7-4, 4-3).
If the Terps knock off N.C. State (8-3, 5-2) on Saturday, Florida State collects its first division title since 2005. N.C. State clinches the division if it wins the finale.
