Florida State caught everyone’s attention right out of the gate with a 45-34 victory against Ole Miss as a 4.5-point favorite, but a stunning 63-20 loss to Louisville as one-point road favorites in the their ACC opener sent the Seminoles tumbling in the national rankings.

Balance has been the key to Florida State’s success on offense this season. Behind freshman quarterback Deondre Francois, it is averaging 242.5 passing yards a game and with Heisman hopeful Dalvin Cook running the ball this unit is posting 244.8 yards a game on the ground. The Seminoles are tied for 16th in the nation in scoring with 43.0 points a game, but there has to be some concern with a defense that is allowing an average of 35 points to its opponents.
