According to www.bodog.com, one of the top sports betting sites, Florida State has the third best chance of winning the National Championship among the 120 division 1A teams.
Oklahoma 9-2
Alabama 11-2
Florida State 10-1
Oregon 12-1
Boise State 14-1
LSU 14-1
It is interesting to note that LSU and Oregon play each other in week 1 whereas Oklahoma and Florida State play each other in week 3. Therefore, in the first three weeks of the season we will see some shuffling among the teams most likely to win the National Championship.
I will go on record and say it right now: I think Florida State's preseason hype is a little bit too high.
Will FSU be better than it was last season? Yes.
Will the 2011 Florida State team be the best FSU team since 2000? Yes.
Is this the Florida State team that'll win the National Championship? No.
The Seminoles are building up to the 2012 season. The 2012 team will be the most elite team in Tallahassee since Florida State's last National Championship. The current team is loaded with a bunch of juniors who will all be seniors in 2012, including EJ Manuel. Not to mention, the #1 recruiting class from last season will begin seeing playing time in 2012.
Yes, 2011 will be a great year for Florida State. Anything can happen, especially if the 'Noles pull off the upset against Oklahoma on September 17th. Only time will tell, however, there's no doubt that right now is a great time to be a Seminole.
