Football:
It’s ACC preview week and Athlon predicted 11 Seminoles to make the All-ACC teams including three first team members. They also predicted Florida State to finish second in the ACC Atlantic.
In the print version not available online ACC defensive coaches had some very unflattering things to say about Florida State’s defense last year:
“They don’t get after the quarterback like they used to, and as important, they don’t cover like they used to. They used to man cover as good or better than anyone in college football. They last couple of years, guys in our league have been running wide open on them.”
Vegas has Clemson, Notre Dame, and Miami favored by at least eight points over Florida State.
Speaking of Notre Dame; they’ve got an issue to fix at quarterback.
WWE and College Football? Don’t laugh they’re more connected than you think.
Why are all these former five-star quarterbacks flaming out?
Florida State’s APR score is too close for comfort; just another example of what bad culture can do to your program.
Recruiting:
2020 four-star athlete Tank Bigsby (cool name) has been offered by Florida State.
247 National Recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong says that 5-star linebacker Nakobe Dean may be leaning towards Georgia (bad news) but 247 Composite No. 1 overall 5-star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux may be leaning towards Florida State, good news.
Other Sports:
It’s time for revenge against LSU for softball in the Super Regionals.
Baseball beat UVA in extras on Tuesday; so they’ll take on NC State tonight at 7pm.
Ka’Tia Seymour just broke one of the oldest records in Florida State Track & Field History:

That’ll be the 13th fastest time in the country once the rankings update.
