Florida State Looks Too Good

As a long-time fan of college football I was amazed at what FSU was able to do in mid-season of this year in never letting down. Every great team loses focus at some point during the regular season as they march to January. FSU, except perhaps in the first half of the BC game never did and beat everyone by at least two TDs. Most impressively they followed their dismantling of Clemson with routs over North Carolina State--to avenge an upset loss from last season--and rival Miami. After three straight games that they had circled preseason it would have been easy to ignore the upcoming opponents but the Noles put up consecutive 59-3 scores over Wake Forest and Syracuse. Dominant competition? Hell no. But they could have easily played sloppily in those games and won 24-7. That they then finished the season with blowouts of Florida and Duke was impressive as well. I cannot look at their performance this year and look at the talent on both sides of the ball and think this game tonight will be close. The Seminoles will begin to pull away by the second quarter.
