Danny Kanell thinks FSU should be ranked above LSU

FSU could absolutely win this matchup, but there’s a reason LSU is a 2.5 point favorite on a semi-neutral field.
FSU, a team that was more established in terms of coach, quarterback and overall roster having played that “tune-up game”, needed LSU to have a first-possession muffed punt and 4 points lost to blocked kicks to squeak by with a 1-point win.
Even with the aforementioned disadvantages, LSU wins last year’s game with a more-refined FG kicking operation. They win by 2 scores if Nabors catches that first punt clean and those 2 kicks are made–maybe 3 scores if Maason Smith plays the entire game.
Again, FSU very well may win week 1, but I’d wager good money that LSU finishes the season ranker higher for good reason.

Well, he played at Florida State so I’m sure this is unbiased.

These aren't last years teams. Winner will be ranked higher the next week. Case closed.

Well they play in three weeks so we can just wait until then instead of having a hissy fit opposite Kannel’s

No he doesn’t. But he gets paid to say stuff like that.

Of course Kanell thinks FSU can win because they can. They return most of their starters from last season and did well like us in the portal.
The key match up is their WRs vs our DBs. FSU has very good WRs and added Keon Coleman who we recruited at one time. If our DBs can limit big plays LSU wins. I feel good about LSU in every other match up.

There's a reason I don't follow sports writers or talk heads during the off season. They have nothing useful to say, it's all opinions and frankly chatgpt can give you more informed opinions these days.

Him and Orlovsky can't get off TV soon enough.

I keep seeing this posted over and over. The 2022 matchup and its result have nothing to do with what will transpire next month.
College football is hard to pick week to week. Drawing conclusions from previous seasons is a waste of your time.

SEC bias? LOL. He just completely glosses over Clemson being ranked over Tennessee even though Tennessee's last game was a 3 possession win over Clemson with the backup QB that is starting this year. Dude just sucks.

So y'all both have opinions...
And both are probably biased....
Great

Why are people mad about this…it’s a win win situation if FSU is ranked higher than us for the matchup
Posted on 8/9/23 at 8:48 am to jepapo
Of course he’d say that about the Noles
