So one question for you guys. Do you guys honestly believe that LAST YEAR, FSU was a better team than Houston? I don't believe so at all. I believe that FSU put a lot of energy into that game just as Houston did, and the better team came out on top. But to answer you Triple B, I am NOT saying Houston is going to be better than FSU THIS year just because of LAST year's bowl game. That wouldn't make any sense. I am saying that Houston will be better THIS year because Houston has a QB that will be in his third year in the system, and is a real Heisman contender. They have a stellar group of WR's, linebackers, running backs, and CB Brandon Wilson is probably just as good as William Jackson, their CB who got drafted in the first round last year all returning.I legitimately see this team as the #6-9th best in the country.
FSU on the other hand doesn't have a QB, and is looking at starting a redshirt freshman this year in Francois. They have a pretty poor receiving corps. They lose a big part of their secondary (no doubt they can reload) and overall, I just don't think they get back to the Jameis Winston days. I think they drop to about #18, purely on the fact that Dalvin Cook is a top 3 back in the nation.
I hope this clears things up. I think USF has a chance to beat both teams, but will need a spectacular performance to do it. I personally just wouldn't bet on it unless I had a good spread, and I think Houston will be the tougher game. You guys are entitled to your opinions as well, even if they are wrong
