    Obviously, factor in returning starters/starters lost, incoming 2013 recruiting classes, coaching changes and NCAA probation.

    1. Alabama
    2. Oregon
    3. UF
    4. Ohio St
    5. Texas

    Way too early to tell. Don't know who's leaving early yet.

    Latt is good but a running back is not hard to replace

    I agree. Mike Davis and Brandon Wilds are very good, the drop off shouldn't be too much.

    Should return nearly everybody on defense

    Werner, Jones and Joyner won't leave early imo... Maybe Rhodes but we will see

    That leaves only Tank and Vince Williams among those who will leave for sure

    Jenkins could return too, imo he should

    The OL will return its 4 best starters and lose its worst

    Hopefully we finally get a QB that can pass, either way Coker or Winston will be better than EJ right away

    All the good WR's and RB's return... Only 1 senior WR this year

    FSU will be very good next year

    but should still have a very stiff D.

    That's what she said

  • MJRuffalo said...

    Never suggested it would not be. Just that very possibly that the increase of talent at the LOS will be greater than the drop off of talent at the QB position. It is not like USC is going to be bad at QB. Defensive front is going to be special next year.

    Ya but also Khaled Holmes, Robert Woods, Mcneil (Hardly impressed with Redd) who knows maybe Redd leaves as well. You guys will be stout on D, but there are so many questions on your offense.

    Honestly, Redd has been impressive, IMO. He's taken over as the #1 back and is on pace to have a better year than McNeal had last season. A new QB may even force USC's offense to be even more balanced which could be a good thing. I would predict a drop off, but not a huge one, IMO.

    Yea... we've heard that before. its seriously getting old. I'm just wondering when the polls are going to make you guys earn a top 20 rank. You know start in the mid 20's or unranked, actually beat a good team or two (looks like you might have to schedule some more non confs), climb your way up the ranks with good performances every week (course the problem is most games your opp. sucks so much good performances are expected), oh and youd also have to not lose a game to a shitty team every year (sometimes more than one).

    look FSU isnt a horrible team, they dont suck. they are just a decent team and when a decent team has a bad game against a bad team they lose. Good teams have bad games too but they win them. You know what you and USCw should get together and figure this one out.

  • Just thinking outloud for Bama here but we lose possibly 3 OL, our TE, Jesse Williams, Square, Lester, Nico and possibly Milliner or Mosely.

    Talent will be there, experience not so much

    Florida's in a similar spot. We lose a lot of defensive talent next year and though I expect us to win/challenge for the East, I can't imagine we would be experienced enough to be a top 5 lock end of the year after going through an SEC schedule.

    I agree with this, two very talented defensive Jrs are most likely going pro along with the seniors. on Offense we also lose at least 4 and maybe a 5th. But we do have good young talent top 5 is possible but not probable, but its college football so who knows and thats why i love it!

    I expect Ohio State to be preseason No. 1 next year. Just a hunch.

    i agree if all of Bama's juniors turn pro early. surrenderlol

    I'm more worried about losing Barrett Jones, Chance Warmack and DJ Fluker. Our TE is easily replaceable.

    LBs just pick up where the past ones left off. Losing DB's always seem to be a little more difficult to replace but Belue will be back, Fulton needs to step up and grab a spot. Geno Smith's progression will be interesting.

    Our 3 safeties of Sunseri, Clinton-Dix, and Landon Collins will be deadly. Nick Perry and Jarrick Williams will provide some solid depth

    What's so funny about stats?

    Top 20 in yards given up when was the last time that mattered. How about 38th? your DEF rank in points given up

    FSU will be better than UF next year

  • tosu will be in the mix...

    ooc is very easy and we get whisky and psu at home, however, going to ann arbor will be a tough road game...

    glad denard will be gone, the kid plays tough at home...

    the schedule sets up nicely missing msu and nebraska, but still gotta win the ccg and will have to beat msu, nebraska or um 2x

    but that's next yr,

    for now, its one game at a time and hopefully finish 12-0 this yr

    Thanks for the warm welcome i joined 5 days ago and just found the Blue boards 2 days. and im not sure where im talking bullshit. Ok maybe the last paragraph a bit but you did lose to a bad NCST team did you not. My first paragraph was just wishful thinking that the pre-season polls would make you earn a high rank.

    We did, so what ?

    We could win out and that shows progress

    Either way I see it where I want to, don't care what a Gator thinks

    Facts are FSU will make upgrades in 2 very important areas next year, QB and OL

    That will make the one point difference in close games we lose to shit teams

    If you don't think FSU will be a consistent top 10 team from here on out you are only fooling yourself

    FSU is still very good, they needed that loss imo

    I didn't think it was gonna be NC ST but Im kinda of glad its over with cause that will be the last loss for awhile
