One of the best offensive trios in the country returns this season as Jordan Travis leads the offense with Trey Benson in the backfield and Johnny Wilson at receiver. That’s already a really tough-to-stop trio of players and then you add Keon Coleman to that mix? Defenses are going to be distraught week after week trying to prepare for this attack.

Coleman and Wilson are going to make up arguably the best one-two receiver punches in the country and Benson will likely rush for well over 1,000 yards again while Travis will be a legit Heisman candidate.

Defensively, the Seminoles bring back some key players and even some newcomers who should have major impacts. I don’t doubt that this defense is going to take a step forward in 2023.

Florida State is probably going to be the overwhelming favorite to win the ACC this season over Clemson for the first time since Jimbo Fisher was in charge.
