Gus is one of the best coaches in college football.

UCF will cover many spreads and upset a few teams this year. KJ Jefferson & RJ Harvey in Malzahn offense should be tantalizing

Don't forget about the USF Bulls who won their Bowl Game and are finally on the upward climb. Get them in the mix.

Don't overlook Florida state's defense this year Greg.

They were spectacular in the orange bowl

@@danielking3134 All y'all keep bringing that up. It just makes us FSU fans laugh that you think that that was a legitimate game. There was no Jared verse, Tatum Bethune, Fabian Lovett, Braden Fiske, Ronaldo Green, kalen DeLoach, Akeem Dent, or Jerrian Jones. Every one of them NFL draft picks this year. So all you haters out there just keep talking it up. As a 42 year Florida State fan, Seminole booster, and member of the battle's end, I choose to celebrate a 13-0 season. Like most of Seminole Nation. When we win repeat as conference champions and have a guaranteed top four bid and a complete team We are going to show you and the rest of the world what really would have happened in the 2023 playoff if we had made it. You can bank that.

@@jamesb0255and Georgia had multiple opt outs on defense too bud. don’t act like THAT didn’t exist. that game proved to y’all that you have 0 depth when the starters choose to quit and either transfer or go to the draft. Georgia has that depth that Florida State will never sniff. only 4 teams in the country can opt out their starters and still kick your a$$.

@jamesb0255 28 днів тому

@@GoatedAtNFS how old are you 12? You certainly can't say never because in the '90s we had elite athletes all over the field. I know we're talking defense but in regards to that game you also have to think about the fact we were on our third string quarterback, we had a receiver playing at running back, no Johnny no Keon no bell, no Benson And of course no Jordan. By the way nobody transferred out We had injuries that made it 23 total not playing in that game. Many of the players that opted out had already forgo the draft the year before to come back and do what they did going undefeated and winning a conference championship. Nobody with any football sense or love for the game or that supports the players would ever fault them for choosing to move on to the next level. Especially after the way they performed in their pro days and at the combine. Florida State is going to have anywhere from 8 to 12 players drafted this year. We'll see what that lands us as to what program had the most drafted. We are now getting back to that 90's level...oh yeah, all 22 of our starters on defense and offense got drafted in 2013. Put that in your pipe and smoke it because obviously you're smoking something. So you can hate all you want, you can deny what is happening right in front of your eyes That's fine with me I don't care. Let's see if you're talking all that smack after this season, and the next, and the next, and the next....
