Breakdown of what Sony Michel did on 6 carries against Florida. Offensive line has improved so much since last year. Pittman is a wizard. And this is with only one of the top guys he's recruited.
Also, newsflash, Florida is really bad.
I don't know if this is the dreaded vote of confidence for Lyle or if he really is safe.

My guess is 1. UGA 2. Bama 3. ND 4. OU 5. OSU 6. PSU/Clemson or Wiscy but I doubt it.
If they beat ND they will.
Clemson will be top 5 based on having the toughest strength of schedule. You heard it here first!
Probably. I think the top 3 will for sure be UGA/Bama/ND after that I think you can have any order of the next 4-6 teams. OSU/PSU/Clemson/OU/Wiscy/Miami
Lol yeah. Is this going to be a weekly thing now until the conference championship are over?
Meltdown Time!
Miami will be in the top 10 just based off the strength of being undefeated, but they won't be much higher than that right now.
Not likely to reach it either. ND is probably taking them to the woodshed.
I'd throw ole Clempson right at 6 or 7. Basically swappable with Pedo State, whom they do have better wins than, but also a much worse loss than. In any case, they're close enough that they'd definitely jump in the top 4 if they just win out.

Will be an interesting barometer of where Richt has Miami. I'm not sure if I'd say Miami would spank ND next week though. ND has looked solid for a while now. Miami has struggled.
Replace Jimbo with a coach willing to self-evaluate and make the necessary changes. Just because FSU smacked the fire out of Michigan in the OB doesn't mean the program was healthy. That team got blown out by Louisville and had to sign a "Do Better" letter. nah bruh nah
It's entirely on Jimbo that he kept all the same old staff on board who has lead this team to 2-5. It's entirely on Jimbo that he went to bat for Charles Kelly and got him a pay bump and fat buyout.
A program like FSU is loaded with blue chippers and plays in the ACC. The team should be able to out-talent its way to 9-3 each season at minimum.
I mean, TAMU could do us a solid and take Jimbo. He's a great change agent, but poor maintainer.
Jimbo's $40MM buyout means he's staying put for a long while. I don't see any scenario where he isn't the coach for years to come.
Yep, he does need to get rid of his coordinators though. That's not working out.
That's completely different though. McElwain didn't accomplish anything of value at Florida. Claiming sec East titles as an accomplishment would work for low tier schools like Vanderbilt or Tennessee. But you have to look at the actual teams he fielded and they just weren't ever that good.
I beg to differ; they are one Grier GNC visit from being a totally different team.
They would've had a shot at Beating Alabama witth Grier that first season.
Macs problem as has been explained elsewhere is that he has a shit attitude that isn't backed by convincing winning. He died on the Nuss hill when Nuss should have been gone after last year or never hired.
Add that to his relationship with the admin and he was always on borrrowed time. Dude mismanaged his team and is getting what he deserves. UF had talent the last two years and he squandered a lot of it.
Ok first of all beating a depleted Michbigan team by 1 isn't "smacking the fire out of them".
Second, recruiting is a huge part of what makes a good coach. 9-3 most years with a few NC runs every 2-3 years is a great program. Alabama is a major outlier, probably the greatest dynasty in CFB history, so it is unrealistic to expect that.
This this the RB that they've actually been using or the other one?
Think Johnson's the RB that missed those few games early (Clemson) who came back and sparked something. Pettway is the short yardage guy, I believe. As it stands right now, Johnson has about double the carries that Pettway has
Pettway has been having health issues this year. He missed 3 games already. I think he's more talented than Johnson but If something happens to Johnson I don't think they have anyone decent left except maybe that running QB they got.
I was at FSU the first few Fisher years before he won the BCS title. I will never say to fire him. FSU was a dumpster fire like UF currently is before he steadied the ship. This is literally ONE bad season since he's been hired.
Coaching changes need to be made. Stoops was good. Pruitt was amazing. Kelly is shit. Time to go. We need to recruit players to fit the scheme. Our defensive line is nowhere near as menacing as it once was.
To be fair we lost a great deal of talent last year and maybe we will be back like ND next season with some assistant reshuffling. But firing Jimbo could send us on a Florida or Tennessee tailspin.
I got an alert two members made me a Charles kelly avatar, unfortunately it won't display on mobile so I'll take a look when I get a chance to log on my computer. Thanks for your time if you're reading this and contributed
It definitely feels like there's a large chunk of teams in the CFB middle class this year. Only elite teams at this point feel like Alabama, Ohio State, and...not sure who else. UGA, ND, State Penn, Clemson, and maybe Okie are all pretty damn good too, but then 8-130 is this mess of teams that all feel samey and like they're mostly all capable of beating each other on any given Saturday (which makes the Big XII title game even more hilarious, because you just know Okie is gonna enter it with one loss and then somehow lose to a 2-loss TCU/Okie State team that they've already beaten, or a 2-loss Iowa State team that beat them already, eliminating the conference from the playoffs lmfao. Pls football gawds, make it so).
It just feels like we all know where the season is headed at this point.

Wait till they play A&M this weekend: everyone will be a runner. Especially if our offense leaves the defense out to dry again.
Looked, there is this QB with a last name of Willis, who has running yards. Probably helped because he had a 67 yard run against Miss State.
I hear an FSU assistant was let go (or not likely to return in 2018). Randy Sanders? No wonder they've been having offensive problems. That dude was maligned at Tennessee a few years back. Well, a decade ago, so maybe it wasn't just him.
With the way oklahoma's defense is playing, they wont make the big xii title game.
I almost added something similar there, but felt that went without saying. It's CFB, after all. Chaos will have its day (it already has, really).
That said, Bama v. Ohio State for all the marbles feels like the natural conclusion at this point.
Well, yeah. Which is why I said maybe they're pretty good above.
I was referring to the 2nd(or 3rd) string QB that's come in a few times and seems like it's always a read option or qb run.
Yeah, we are going through the same thing(albeit with lower highs and a higher low) and there are people saying Harbaugh should be on the hot seat "we are a team of 4 and 5*s! No excuses" Do they not remember Hoke and RR? (In b4 someone brings up Hokes record is the same as Harbaugh's because who needs context?). I just never understand people people who think their great coach should be fired because of a down year.
FSU hasn't had a down year like this since the 70s. Extremely spoiled fan base. But also extremely awful year.
Someday teams playing us will stop giving easy bulletin board material. Seriously, this is dumb. Someone needs to tell him that UGA runs because nobody has been able to stop them while packing the box.
What he's saying about stopping the run isn't novel, accomplishing it is different. And if you leave receivers in single coverage, Fromm has been eating them alive.

I thought y'all were pretty mediocre in Bowden's last few years.
New here, but glad to see this thread. I have always been a Michigan fan, but have a family member who plays for Wake Forest so they have become my new de facto favorite team. Seeing them beat Louisville this Saturday was awesome. I know they're not a high profile program but they're on track to make a bowl game two straight years. I missed last year's win but this year I am definitely going.
