FSU football defeating Miami Saturday night could signal the changing of the guard in the Sunshine State.

Who would have thought that was possible after the second week in the season? The coaching staff showed their work ethic and willingness to grind in the offseason, doing the recruiting legwork to put themselves in a position to have a better class than Florida and Miami while coming off a 3-6 season.

I explained why it would happen six months ago.

Just like the last four years, Florida and Miami failed to capitalize on FSU’s misfortunes. They failed to take advantage of FSU beginning the season 0-4. Miami was 2-4 at one point, and Florida was 4-5 before going to life and death with Samford on Saturday.

FSU will close out their regular season with a chance to be bowl eligible if they can avoid the letdown game against Boston College Saturday.

I don’t think FSU has to win that game, but if they do win, it would be a definitive statement about the direction of all three programs.

Here’s why the state of Florida is ripe for the Noles to take back over.
