Recognizable names have started to drop off, and we’re getting closer to officially (see: unofficially) awarding the title of greatest Florida State Seminoles football player in history.
Round 2 didn’t see too many upsets, but now in the Sweet 16, we have some exciting ones to ponder.

Sixth-seed Jalen Ramsey is the lowest-ranked player still in the tournament, and now, he has a tough matchup vs. No. 2 Dalvin Cook. All four No. 1 seeds are still standing, as well as all three Heisman winners.
Go ahead, vote below, and head to comments to yell about who didn’t deserve to get eliminated.

No. 1 Jameis Winston vs. No. 4 Greg Allen
Our take:
All Greg Allen did was something that neither Warrick Dunn nor Dalvin Cook can claim— he earned All-America honors in four-straight seasons as a Seminole RB. And that began in 1981, when Allen made his way to Tallahassee via Milton, a small town in Florida’s panhandle.

No. 3 Warrick Dunn vs. No. 2 Ron Simmons
Our take:
Dunn became the first back in Florida State history to record three consecutive thousand yard rushing seasons, earning him as many first team All-ACC nods. His 3,959 rushing held him as FSU’s rushing leader until a kid by the name of Dalvin Cook make his way to Tallahassee. He was elected to the FSU Football hall of fame in 2002 and is one of just 11 Seminoles to have his number retired.

No. 6 Jalen Ramsey vs. No. 2 Dalvin Cook
Reader takes:
theKnightNole: Jalen shut down the run to his side of the field. He basically took one side of the field off the table, run or pass.

No. 3 Chris Weinke vs. No. 2 Marvin Jones
Reader takes:
Generator: Weinke was the best QB ever at FSU. Charlie could cover up his mistakes(missed read,bad timing etc.) by running the ball. Winston covered his mistakes by a great team around him and quite a bit of luck. Weinke just knew where to go and what to do every play!
