After Alabama fell at home to Texas, we’re going to see Florida State move up a spot. I did mention that I think there’s a chance that the Longhorns jump the Seminoles, but I don’t think voters will be that aggressive here.

The Seminoles took care of business against an inferior foe as Southern Miss came to town. Consider this a bit of a tune-up before ACC play starts in a couple of weeks.

Although Jordan Travis wasn’t the most accurate on Saturday against the Golden Eagles, he still looked like a Heisman candidate and didn’t make many mistakes. It’s not like he needs to prove anything after beating LSU.

Oh, and Keon Coleman is still really, really good.
