Yeah, FSU's still pretty loaded. Deion siphoning off a few isn't hurting them. They've loaded up in the portal themselves.

Athlon’s preview underscores the lack of talent on the upcoming team. Rating the units in the ACC they have us 12 at QB, 11 at RB, 13 at WR, 12 at OL, 14 at DL, 14 at LB, and 9 at DB. That is an average of 12.14. That is 13 out of 14 teams, ahead of only UVA that averages 12.29 and slightly behind BC at 11.7. The only other double digit average is Virginia Tech at 10.4.

They list three preseason all ACC teams. Giving 3 points for a 1st team selection, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd, we finish 14 of 14 with 2 points - they have LaMiles Brooks as second team safety. Tied for 12th are Virginia and Syracuse with 5 points each.

Clearly, our talent level, objectively viewed, is at or near the bottom of the conference. Credit goes to Brent Key for not singing the blues, trashing his predecessor and calling his challenge the greatest rebuild ever. Athlon projects we will go 5-7, 3-5, which means they think we will do better than our talent might indicate. I think 6 to 7 wins is certainly possible, but I will keep in mind that with this roster a 5-7 season would be a pretty good result. I do think we will be beat SC State, Bowling Green, BC, Virginia and Syracuse. I think we have a good chance to get a couple of more wins against Louisville, Wake, Miami and UNC.

I didn't even know Athlons was still around - anyway, how did they have the WF units ranked last year preseason? Or TCU? Our last coach had things so screwed up it's impossible to know how much talent is around. They are basing everything off last year's results, which may - or may not be - an accurate way to do it. I honestly have no idea what we've got, but for some reason I think we're going to over-perform.

We are going to win more games this year than we have in any of the last 4 years even though our overall talent composite is likely much lower than it’s been

This. As an example- Give me a lower rated QB with some heart and a brain over that f#cking candyass Jeff Sims any day of the week.
