The expectation should be at least 10 regular season wins
When I look at this schedule, I don’t see more than two games where FSU could be betting underdogs.
There are 10 games I’m counting as wins off the top, with LSU and Clemson as the only teams that can match up talent-wise across the board.
Folks might think I’m crazy, but I was one of the few that said the 2022 schedule wasn’t as difficult as most made it out to be. I also predicted FSU would win at least eight regular-season games before the season began. I’m confident in what I say because I know what’s on the FSU roster, and I keep track of what the other teams gained and lost.
FSU has added more talent than any other team from the transfer portal, not to mention they return several ALL-ACC caliber players from last year’s team.
The lack of depth on both sides of the ball has prevented FSU from reaching it’s potential the last two years. Mike Norvell has finally addressed that issue in totality(aside from the safety position, but that’s coming).
As long as Jordan Travis remains healthy and plays at the level he did much of last season? FSU should meet these expectations and then some.
