I feel like nobody, here or in the media, is talking about this team...at all. I can't remember the last big time school, ranked in the top 10, who received this little attention.

I also think they're ranked WAY too high. I feel like there are easily 15 teams who would be favored over them at a neutral site. I know that could be said for plenty teams each year, and I don't know where I'd put them, but they seem a few notches below the top 10 teams this year. I kinda think they stink.

Far too early to tell anything. They haven't done anything to overly impress me but at the same time have given me no reason to think they are overrated.

I think they might lose at BC, but Dalvin Cook is a beast

Golston will throw 4 picks in a game vs someone like GT and they will lose by 14 at least once.

They have Cook, but teams will key on him.

To me, they are a way worse version of last year's team. Which, would mean I think they're pretty bad. And it's not so much that I think they aren't top 15 material and suck. But when I think of teams who could compete in the playoff, they don't enter my mind. There are plenty teams that I think could compete in it, but not them. I don't think they would even have a chance for some reason.

Can't say for sure, but they look better than last year.

Despite their record, they weren't that good last year. They'll drop 3 by the time it's all said and done.

They were a weird team last year and are again this year. IMO, they could have a better margin of victory this year but still not be as good as they were last year.

Their average margin of victory was 11.7 in games they won last year. That's horrible.

Very much so. There was terrible chemistry on the sidelines, and even though they were undefeated heading into the playoff, it didn't feel like it. I still feel like they have more talent than last year, but I get the feeling that most of the team doesn't take Jimbo seriously after the Jameis chronicles, and they will suffer a few losses from sheer malaise.

This wasn't meant to be a thread to pick on a good team that's ranked high, I legit think they are weird as hell this season. There are endless facts that could make this statement look retarded, but I don't think Jimbo is a very good coach. Or they don't like him or something. For all the talent that they've had, they seem to just be, blah. Like they're going through the motions, all the time. Obviously Cook is amazing, but he looks like the only guy on the field that gives half a shite.

Just so we're clear, you don't think they're very good this season?

Outside of quarterbacks it seems like a lot of fsu guys fall in draft. I felt like he didn't get the most out of a lot of people Eddie Goldman Mario Edwards christian jones to name a few

The line for the BC game is fishy. -7.5 makes me think joe public will be all over that which leads me to believe they struggle

Correct. Doesn't it just feel like they're taking up a top 10 spot until they lose? That could be said for every team, but they seem off.

I want to fade them every week, but it seems like their spreads are gonna be really small again this year. Took USF without blinking last week. Betting BC is probably a great idea, although I'll be staying away.

It was a joke. It's funny how much you've dismantled them in this thread.

They'll be ok. A lot of teams are in the top 10 right now mainly as placeholders. Fl St probably won't finish there bc their conference is weak and GT will probably win it, but Jimbo is a damn QB whisperer, so who knows.
