No. 12 – Delaware State Hornets (0-11 in 2016)
It doesn’t matter how much money you are giving them or however the school will spin it…this is a horrible game to end the home portion of the regular season schedule.
No. 11 – Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks (4-8 in 2016)
The Seminoles go from USF this season to a Sun Belt Conference team that lost four of their final six games this year. At least it’s a guaranteed win to start the home slate.
No. 10 – Duke Blue Devils (4-8 in 2016)
The men from Durham went back to losing this year, replacing a North Carolina team on FSU football’s schedule.
No. 9 – Boston College Eagles (7-6 in 2016)
I don’t care that the Eagles went to a bowl game and got the win to go above .500 on the season – they are a bad team on offense and get penalized for it.
