Even with Clemson as the two-time defending ACC winner and defending national champs, Florida State is the favorite to come out of the conference. Sophomore quarterback Deondre Francois is a tough player that can lead the Noles to the next level.
Running back is a position of concern for FSU with the departure of All-American Dalvin cook, now with the Minnesota Vikings. Jacques Patrick and freshman Cam Akers are solid options to replace Cook, though.
The receiving corps and the defense for Florida State is extremely talented. Wide receivers Auden Tate and Nyqwan Murray give Francois a lot of options to work with. Safety Derwin James and defensive end Josh Sweat, among others, could be All-Americans in 2017.
