Ahh ok, so your irrational hatred of FSU is based on the 2013 game. Jimbo hatred I can understand, but FSU is just like any other shady southeastern team.
Yes. In adjusted YPP for the year they are a top 25 team (actually just ahead of Notre Dame). They are 55th in Sagarin but 40th in his "Recent" category. S&P+ has them at 34th and 15th in defense. I know they LOLost to Villanova and then were legit beaten by Buffalo (who's turned out to be better than expected, at least) but since then they pretty much did exactly what a good team should against a true grind of mediums; statistically dominating all 6 games against @Maryland, Tulsa, @Boston College, East Carolina, @Navy, and Cincy last week. 3 of those games had postgame win expectancies of 100% and the others were in the 70s. Even the 10 point loss @ BC was a 77% PGWE.
That is all really hard to do without being good. I did not have any expectations for them after the first two games, but it's week 10 and they've looked like a good team for the last 80% of the season straight now. @Houston and South Florida next and I think they should at least split that even with the injuries.
You may just want to go ahead and poach this coach before somebody beats you to it. Like imagine if 2018 FSU just stopped sucking after 2 games and got better as the season went on.
