Will FSU rise back to the top this year????...

Admittedly, I know little about their roster. So, I'd like to throw this question out there and find out if anyone knows anything about FSU's roster and their prospects for winning the ACC again.
I have a hunch that without Amato and Richt, the coaching has suffered some over there. I'm not sure if they can go back that easily to dominating again. Oh, they'll always be able to recruit to an 8-3 or 9-2 type of record. I'm just curious to see if they jump back into the top 5 and win 11 or 12 games again.

I think this year, we will figure out if Amato and Richt leaving FSU has an impact. Last year, they just lost way too many seniors, but they should be primed up now. I'll be surprised if they lose more than 2 games. One to Miami, and the other to us

They recruited well again this year. I believe they got the best high school running back in the country.

I don't know much about the recruits, but I would expect Papa Bowden will have the Criminoles back to at least 10 regular season wins. He has built the program up to the point that 2001 was an absolute shock, and I would be very surprised to see them outside the top 5 very early in the season, and throughout the whole year.

I don't like it much, but I think they are too good, too deep, and too slimy not to win!

GO JACKETS!!

Unfortunately, F$U will be at the top again. They return virtually everyone and get back arguably their best player in A. Boldin who you may recall was out all of last season w/a torn acl.

Miami on the road looks like their only loss on paper. They really don't need much coaching w/all of the talent that they have. However, Amato's absence has hurt them in getting S. Florida recruits--most of them are going to Miami again.

This icon sums up my feelings about F$U

I think they will be good as usual but the real hurt comes when the BIG liar retires and his follow on tries to fill the BIG liars shoes (the same way when the Bear retired at Bama).
