And it is why they are undefeated once again. They have to lose for us to knock them off the top spot, plain and simple.

But this ACC Championship game is going to be the toughest test yet for the Seminoles. They can’t afford to screw up against Georgia Tech because this is the one team just good enough to capitalize off every mistake. So watch out Florida State. They can’t let this one slip away, but it could easily happen, and it will certainly happen if they do what they have been doing all year.

Florida State Seminoles 12-0 (8-0)

Last week: Defeated Florida Gators 24-19
Last rank: 1

It happened once again. The Florida State Seminoles made sure to keep on winning with a close win against the in-state rival Florida Gators.

Add them to the list of close wins in games littered with mistakes that also includes Miami, Boston College, Louisville, Clemson, and Oklahoma State. These guys, led by Jimbo Fisher just keep finding ways to win.

Jameis Winston, despite all his mistakes, obviously has all the intangibles as a quarterback and comes through in the biggest moments. But with weapons like Nick O’Leary, Dalvin Cook, Karlos Williams, and Rashad Greene always there to step up as well, it’s simply hard to keep these guys down.
