How can FSU go 7-6 one year come in next season ranked 19th, and be favored to go to the acc championship? Same thing, but not as much with Miami. Yeah florida st got some new coordinators and stuff, but are they really expected to make a difference right away? Shouldn't you have to do a little more than win a cake walk bowl game and go 7-6 in the regular season to be ranked 19th the next year? Does anyone really remember FSU last year? They were awful. Yeah, they're returning a lot of starters, but they're from a team that almost wasn't bowl eligible last year. Is this just a publicity thing to make the ACC look more competitive by having more than one ranked team (VT) at the beginning of the season? I'll admit FSU is good, but as long as they have Drew Weatherford under center, they will not go to a BCS bowl.

FSU had a bad year, but that doesn't mean they won't rebound. They'll do a lot better this year. Jeff Bowden was a terrible offensive coordinator. Tennessee went 5-6 in 2005 and came back last year and went 9-4 after losing in the Outback Bowl. If Tenessee can come back from a losing record, I don't see why FSU can't improve. Yeah, maybe they're ranked high, but they will have a good team. They're defense is always one of the best in the nation.
Edit: You said that "as long as they have Drew Weatherford under center, they will not go to a BCS bowl." This is a stupid statement, because Weatherford took them to a BCS bowl as a freshman (the Orange Bowl).

I agree with this question.. I've seen alot of Miami and FSU questions on here and they're all implying great improvement.. I just don't see it.. I see FSU getting the better of Miami barely and they'll finish probably 5th and 6th in the conference behind VT, Wake Forrest, Clemson and Georgia Tech.. if that is "back" then someone needs to discribe the definition of that word for me.. I see that game between FSU and Alabama as a matchup of two teams who used to be playing a nostalgia game and trying to pretend they are still relevant.. FSU will resurface in a year or two with Jimbo Fisher (he's really a great coordinator) but Miami? they have so bad a rep that it might take 3 years to put that program back on the map (although playing in Dolphin stadium will help them especially with recruiting)

Smith is a good returned and the quarterbacks could desire to be more desirable. optimistically the revamping of the learning paintings rigidity has made a gigantic effect on the gamers. Their present day issues have been a loss of offensive creativity and flatout motivation. They have not had the comparable hobby for a identify like previous communities. many of the sturdy gamers only use FSU as a stepping stone to the NFL and tens of millions of greenbacks. They play a season or 2 and then long gone. almost the comparable precise element could nicely be stated approximately Miami. the two communities could have sturdy D's. a huge factor as to who does extra advantageous may be the quarterbacks. the two communities have youthful quarterbacks who could desire to be more desirable with yet another 3 hundred and sixty 5 days below their belts. yet another figuring out factor would be which team needs it extra and makes a decision to step up. I gotta persist with my Noles although.

I don't know about FSU, but the Hurricanes, my sources tell me, have hired a new recruiter with connections at the Raiford Penitentiary in Florida and Angola in Louisiana...Those ol' boys will bring back the brand of football, civic leadership and academic achievement Miami fans are used to

Miami is definitely a sleeper to be very competitive this season, but I don't get it with Florida State. But the pre-season polls are reflective of teams with "name" programs when looking at slots 20-25.
