FSU football confidence drops slightly, hoops confidence remains high, with Top 25, CFP picks

As fans and voters, you’ve shown much more dramatic swings during this football season, so an 11-point dip in confidence isn’t really a huge deal. It could be tied to FSU’s 49-12 win over Alabama State, which took a little longer to become a blowout than some would have preferred, or perhaps it’s the decreased likelihood that Bob Stoops takes over as the Seminoles’ next head coach.

And here’s the national poll:

And last week’s national Top 25:

Most think the three remaining undefeated FBS teams — LSU, Ohio State, and Clemson — will be in the College Football Playoff, but there’s been a good deal of conversation about which team will be the fourth into the CFP. So that was the focus of this week’s national question: which team is most likely to make the CFP?

Georgia edged Oregon by a razor-thin margin:

1. Georgia: 30.4%
2. Oregon: 29.7%
3. Oklahoma: 17.5%
4. Alabama: 15.5%
5. Utah: 6.9%

On to basketball, where y’all couldn’t be more consistent. For the third straight week, 99.1% of you are confident in the direction of the FSU hoops program, which kinda prompts the question: who’s honestly not confident, and why? Those are the explanations I’d love to see in the comments section. Oh yeah, the Gators are down to 61%.
