The only thing FSU did was beat the bad teams they were supposed to beat. Yes, that's what we didn't do but they are not as good as all the hype. They lost against all their ranked opponents.

Their last 4 recruiting class rankings are: 19, 20, 23, 22.

They do not have a championship roster. They're heavily reliant on the portal for their starters.

I'm not impressed with their OL. Yes, they gave us a beatdown against a bunch of our guys that quit on us and Steele made no adjustments (should have been fired) against their counter running game.

The FSU OL recruiting classes for the past 4 years:

2020 - OT: 3-Stars 4
2021 - OT: 4-Stars 1, IOL: 3-Star: 1, (transfer) OC: 3-Stars 1 1 Transfer, 0 with eligibility left
2022 - OT: 4-Stars 2 3-Stars 1, IOL: 3-Stars 2, OC: 3-Stars 1, 4 Transfers, 1 with eligibility left
2023 - OT: 4-Stars 1 3-Stars 4, IOL: 3-Stars 4, 4 Transfers, 1 with eligibility left

The FSU OL recruiting is horrendous!!!! When you look at it, they have only four 4-Stars in the room for the last 4 recruiting cycles in total. The OL numbers have been low. In the last 4 years, they've recruited or transfered in 22 OL. in the last 4 years. 9 of which were in 2023.

Norvell is living in the portal. This is just smoke and mirrors. 9 OL in 2023 symbolizes the bad recruiting and lack of numbers.

This is not a talented OL. I believe they benefit from Travis as runner which takes at least one defender away. They will struggle against good trench defenders.

I predict FSU goes 9-3 with losses to LSU, Clemson, and Miami.

There should be a gambling disclaimer on this thread.

Not the gambling quit line information, but to indicate this may be the worst place on the internet for predicting the records of Miami and our rivals…

I can see 10 wins especially if TVD goes nuts and the schemes click. I just think it’s too big a leap to go from 5-7 to 10-2 in one year. If Mario pulled that off though, he’s definitely COTY and we’re probably in the ACC Championship Game.

FSU and CLemson are likely the only games we are true underdogs.

TAMU and UNC are toss up games.

So,10 is a reasonable best case scenario. Actually, 11 is possible. Not likely, but possible. FSU is beatable. They don't have depth and I think they are overhyped.

I agree 100%. For me though it’s just that they always have some random miraculous win that they shouldn’t get. I was definitely being optimistic with them.

Well, they are going to need 2-3 miracles to get to 6 wins. I have their over/under at 4.5 wins.

UNC is a true underdog game (esp on the road).

ATM is a TD favorite on the road. thats a true underdog

UNC....Nope. Their defense is soft as butter on a summer day.

I don't care what the betting odds are. I'm looking at the teams and roster. WTF would a 5-7 TAMU be favored over us? It's because of our bad blowout losses which have nothing to do with this season or our roster. We are not an underdog.

ATM has a ton of talent. their biggest issue was offense. their D is good. we should have won last year and i think can win this year, as well. i just think we are an underdog though. their roster is still better than ours. their coaching may not be and could be the difference .

UNC D sucks but Maye is elite and we havent won over there in a long time. i didnt say theyre not beatable just that it is a true underdog game.

anyways, we lose to ATM, i dont have much faith in the rest of the year esp the clemson unc b2b. we beat atm, we gotta come out with a split of Clemson UNC.

i have us at 7-5 8-4 this year. likely 8-4 which ill take compared to last year. still **** but better than last year

What happens in Trailerhassee if Norvelle ***** the bed and Spew goes 7-5 or worse? If he loses a few games, starting with LSU, chances are the doubt creeps in to those prima donna's planning on playing Alabama for the NT.

Did you watch last year's game? We ran up and down on those guys. We just didn't put it in the endzone.

I love how you project with them but don't project with our massive OL and stellar RB room as well as QB.

Drink their Kool-aide, but not our own. Both teams have much to prove. So, NO we are no underdog.

"Miami will steal a win against one of Clemson/FSU/Texas A&M/UNC." from OP.

This is what MUST happen for us to be on the way "back," along with no more sub-par losses to teams like UVa, GaTech, and the other middling ACC teams, not to mention the slumdog non-conference teams. I think we do beat one of those teams, but I am not confident that we will not lose a game we shouldn't. Therefore, I'm with your 8-4 prediction. Anything better than that is a bonus.

Nice post.

Miami going 5-7 is more likely than FSU going 7-5.
