The first poll that was posted in this thread is actually the Coaches poll, not AP poll.

I don't see how Florida State got so high up there...bogus.

I don't see how Florida State got so high up there...bogus.

They had to play 17 true freshmen last year, mostly on defense, due to injuries.  They didn't lose many guys to the draft as usual.  They got Chuck Amatta back as the DL coach (he head-coached NC State the last several years and had gone 4-3 against FSU and beat us in our first bowl game).  They got Jimbo Fisher as their offensive coordinator (he was at LSU before, won a National Championship under Nick Saban and recruited Jamarcus Russel).  They got our WR coach (FSU alum).  They had another good recruiting class.

Those are some of the reasons.

We're ranked ahead of Notre Dame, so I'm not complaining too much.  They are constantly overrated.

We're ranked ahead of Notre Dame

I don't care who you are, if you say you predicted this three years ago, you're lying.

I had to reread that.  Amazing!
