FSU's schedule is weak enough to allow them to win a good number of games.

GT, Louisiana, and BC are atrocious. FSU will beat them easily (3-0).

NCSCU and Clemson are probable losses (0-2).

Wake, Miami, UiF, Syracuse are toss ups (let's say 2-2). We should win, but could very easily lose that game.

That's 8-4, which is a serious improvement for them, and very likely lands Norvell another year.

I don't think their roster is very strong, and their recruiting class is highly uneven (again), but the optics are trending up.

That's worthy of a 18 year extension if you ask me

I'm not prepared to say they go 3-0 easily against GT/UL/BC and split those four games. They've probably won two games they should/could have lost. The college football gods always take what is theirs, and they owe the college football gods at least one L in a game they should/could win. 7-5, which is still solid improvement and likely enough to keep Norvell around considering their $$$ problems.

Let me also be clear that I do not believe they are significantly improved from an overall program lens. They have an easy schedule, and have squeaked by their two mediocre opponents (with a win against an awful one).

The problem is, if we don't beat them, and don't have a significantly better season, we won't be moving as fast as I'd like in recruiting.

Did the extent of the injuries to Travis and Verse ever come out? Verse is a game changer. They got DE's in the portal 2 years in a row who will play on Sundays.

They should survive this weekend without any of them unless Phil J and Flowers just catch fire. But even with most of those guys back the stretch after that is likely not going to go well.

I think man of us thought 2-2 through 4 was possible. Maybe 1-3...but most didnt realize just how bad Louisville and BC were going to be...they can have 4-7 teams but still be a nuisance. But they are just really bad this year. So FSU should get to 4-0.
