Say what? Florida State is not in a Top 10 preseason poll? Since the 2000 season, the average final AP ranking for the Seminoles is #16, not the same quality they displayed in years prior as they finished in the top five for over a decade straight. For once, they will start around here and be forced to work their way up as opposed to vice versa. We warned everyone last year that FSU had the most seniors of any team across America, and they then disappointed. Logically now, FSU will be operating with the least amount of returning personnel out of anyone in our Top 25. Unless offensive coaching changes are made, how can one expect a better product? Only two offensive linemen are back, assuming David Castillo is granted a sixth year of eligibility. That's grasping for straws for an OL that has continued to underachieve for years with far more depth and talent. Can the QB ineptitude be resolved with a freshman, or a much-improved Sexton? The RB position is stacked, yet FSU continues to throw passes most every down, claiming opponents are loading the box. The strength will once again need to come from the defense, where - outside of Columbus, OH - the Noles will maintain the nation's best set of LBs. FSU needs FS Pat Watkins to choose school over the NFL or the questions here will begin to formulate. Many prognosticators are left dumbfounded as to why this stacked offense has spun out of control, but we know and see what is on the horizon for '05. Bobby Bowden has some very serious loyalty decisions to make over the next few months in terms of his staff. Have the last four years forced an adjustment in the goals of Florida State football? Not even the new ACC Atlantic Division title is a lock in 2005.
