2. @ Florida State Seminoles

Florida State is much more talented than its 7-6 record from a year ago would communicate.

The Seminoles will now be playing under a new coach in Willie Taggart and it seems that he has been a breath of fresh air for that program.

Deondre Francois and James Blackman are currently entrenched in a QB battle for Florida State and the one that wins the job will have running backs Cam Akers and Jacques Patrick in the backfield with them.

FSU has some depth and experience defensively, but they lose Derwin James and all three of their starting linebackers.

I think Florida State takes a step forward in 2018, but not quite enough to return to a top-10 ranking.
