Moderate concern from folks, some of it justified, worried about our destiny and how our current ranking sets us up for a potential playoff run. I thought it was interesting to recall where the playoff teams were ranked this time last year. Any guesses before you look below?
AP ranks
FSU- #2
Alabama- #7
Oregon- #9
OSU- #13
FSU currently sits right around if not higher than the teams that made the playoffs last year. I think we underestimate how brutal of a month November is. Rivalry games, hardly any bye weeks, brutal conference slates. Just win and we're in.
Also for some laughs, here's where some other teams ranked at week 8 last year.
#1- MSST
(45 First Place Votes HAHA, finished 11th)
#3 Ole Miss (Finished 17th)
#5 ND (finished Unranked after they lost their super bowl)
#6 Auburn (Finished #22)
