Non-Binding Forecast. Aside from Ponder, this is probably the least interesting, least explosive Florida State team in decades; it may be the first time I recall thinking that an FSU lineup lacked the players to contend with pretty much anyone in the country. Whatever the problem has been here – out-of-touch coaches, injuries, discipline, division on the staff, whatever – "talent" has never figured into them. Maybe it still doesn't, especially compared to the rest of the Coastal Division, which seems to be in a universal down cycle. In that context, the 'Noles can still easily get back to eight or nine wins and compete for the conference title. But it will take a couple upsets to get there, still a decidedly unfamiliar proposition for a team that's always considered the renaissance right around the corner.
