Time to overcome an early loss

Who knows how the LSU game will go, we’ll know more about what LSU will bring to the table as we go through the offseason.

I know they lost a few key players from last year’s team, but Brian Kelly will have a lot of talent on that roster going into year two.

The good news is the LSU game, and the Clemson game is early enough that if the Noles were to lose both, there’s enough time to run the table against lesser opponents and make the ACC Championship game.

I know I’m doing a lot of assuming, but there’s no reason FSU shouldn’t make the ACC Championship game, where they’ll likely have to play Clemson again. If FSU is in this spot and avenges a previous loss while winning the ACC Championship?

It’s possible they could still make the College Football Playoff. However, if they were to lose to LSU and play Clemson later in the season and lose?

I’m not sure they’d have a high enough time to climb back in the rankings to make the final four spots in the playoff.
