Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting! No one does it better in the South other than Nick Saban and now Jimbo Fisher. FSU will take a major hit on the offensive line. The Seminoles are well known for replacing speed and skill positions but this rebuilding phase of the offensive front will be their biggest and most important. Young Dalvin Cook has provided Tallahassee with a dangerous ground game and the young receivers are extremely gifted athletes. On the other side, FSU doesn't lose a single starter on defense, all 11 are set to return barring NFL departures. Out of the four teams currently playing in this new playoff system, FSU returns the most starters including a whopping eight All-Conference selections. The big obvious is whether Jameis Winston will be behind center for another year. If not, this team falls out of the preseason Top 5. If he does, the Noles are right back where they have been the past two seasons, undefeated. They will have to go undefeated given the non-conference schedule the administration has put together.
