FSU has outrecruited Ole Piss and has more NFL talent and more experience compared to Ole Piss if you going skill for skill. I could take Ole Piss as a legit top 3 preseason team if they returned Tunsil,Treadwell and the dude that jumpin off balconies and shyt. Ole Piss finished the season red hot destroying LSU,Piss St and Okie St so I see why they should feel confident.
I've said before not to take bowl games too serious when looking ahead to following seasons plenty of title teams have phoned in bowls vs schools with more at stake Alabama has done this a few times under Saban for example.
FSU was one of the least experienced teams last season and was pretty much playing walkons and 4-5 year filler players at keep spots on the defense and still ended the season in top 20. Ramsey is our only loss that you can say will be missed but FSU has recruited at beast level especially at secondary that our scheme will make his loss no issue. Most FSU fans thought Ramsey was overrated anyway (I don't agree) but other than that we lost LB's that were always injured and some nice kids that played with motor. Our DE's Walker and Sweat will play better with upgrade in the interior of the line.
Vegas agrees with me on FSU as they have Ole Piss as a bigger underdog than Houston was when FSU played them in the bowl. You will learn Labor Day what having a legit QB that can make all the throws can do for our offense and make things easier for Dalvin Cook.
