Florida State football, recruiting news: #Tribe19 position outlooks updated

Football

Florida State dropped out of the top-25 in ESPN’s post-spring rankings. The Seminoles face one of the nation’s most difficult schedules in Willie Taggart’s first season as head coach, playing four top-15 teams in 2018.

Florida State’s schedule will be difficult but it’s all about the Jimmy and Joes and Florida State should still be one of the six most talented teams in the country in 2018.

Sports networks, like the upcoming ACC Network, may be highly affected if Nielsen’s May cable coverage is any indication.
