I think FSU has been good this year...people seem to forget that we lost 7 players to the NFL in this past draft (18 in the last two)...all of them were starters.  So 1/3 of our starters last year were drafted (not counting back ups like Wilder, ect)...and we lost others to graduation, transferring, ect...We are playing two true freshman WRs a lot...not to mention a lot of the players that left were considered leaders on the team.  That is a lot of turn over on a team in one year and yet they keep over coming it and winning games.

 

Then you think about ALL of the off field issues/distractions (and yes I know that 99% of them are self inflicted) and it is amazing that this team is still winning...close ones or not.

 

People want to say that all of these other teams would blow out FSU...but FSU has been down to multiple (top 25) teams only to come back and win the game...I also love how people like to say it's all about who you play...well you can only play who is on your schedule.  Do you think Alabama, Auburn, Oregon, ect are trying to schedule home and homes with FSU?  NO...because they are afraid to lose the game in the regular season...and thus fall out of the CFB playoff picture.  And yes a million years ago FSU could have joined the SEC but they didn't...and you know what if the reports are correct the SEC don't want them to join now as they reportedly were open to joining during this last expansion.
