FSU will go 7-5 in the regular season

I know I predicted the Noles to finish 6-6 in my game-by-game predictions. However, I also said I wouldn’t be surprised if FSU pulled off at least one upset.

The only thing that makes this BOLD is it’s hard to not expect the Noles to lose a game they probably should win. It’s unlikely they will win every game considered a coinflip by the oddsmakers.

However, it could happen, especially if FSU made the strides they needed to make in the offseason.

It’s hard to quantify how much they could improve since they didn’t have an offseason and lacked development under the prior two staff.

I suppose another way to look at it is FSU likely hadn’t reached their max when it comes to development compared to other teams like Wake Forest, Syracuse, and Boston College.

FSU has been the more talented team when compared to those teams. But, it has been the lack of development and discipline that has gotten them beat against those types of teams.

Of course, all of this is based on good injury luck, which can change everything. I mean, these are bold predictions after all!
