HLS Top 25 Roulette #3

by

I am done taking one for the team. No way I am the guy putting Florida State in the Top 3. Let’s see how DMQ plays this one, and then we can see if Poot’s head explodes.

KIDDING.

Your #3 is Florida State. Because unlike DMQ, I believe this thing should have SOME shred of credibility.

And while FSU may be a slot or two high at 3, Jimbo Fisher has the Seminoles primed for a solid year. (Side note: USC’s stupid repetitive song is the only thing as stupid and repetitive as FSU’s war chant thing – this is the biggest reason I want them to fail. I don’t want to have to hear that over and over and over).

Fisher brings back 16 starters from a team that went 10-4 in his first year at the helm, and they should be better. The team is strong and deep, with a talented dual-threat in QB Manuel (anyone notice that he completed 70% of his passes last year and can still burn on the ground?) and a strong supporting cast. They bring back all of their WRs, and have good solutions for their losses on the OL.

And on the defensive side the DL is going to be SCARY. It was a productive group last year, and they bring everyone back. Everyone. With improvement, this DL may be one of the best in the country this Fall. If there’s a weakness it’s in the second level and on the outside, but FSU should be able to force teams to be relatively one dimensional this season.

The schedule is tough enough to get respect, but not world-beating. The big game against Oklahoma, as well as dates with UF and Clemson will be tests. If FSU is truly back, we’ll see some fireworks.

Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.

Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.
