FSU football: 4 huge reasons FSU poised to stay among top national programs

FSU football has gone 23-4 over the past two seasons and projects to win at least nine games in 2024, not including a bowl game. Many pundits counted FSU out when Willie Taggart got fired, and Mike Norvell had a horrific start during the 2020 COVID season. I've always maintained things wouldn't have gotten as bad as they had if the pandemic hadn't interfered with Mike Norvell's first offseason (they only had three spring practices in 2022) of implementing and installing their schemes, plus the summer months of strength and conditioning. That was valuable developmental time lost, and the coaches went into that season flying by the seat of their pants because of it. The pandemic still had its effects going into the 2021 season, and it wasn't until the last 5-6 games in 2021 that we saw what FSU was becoming as a program.

At least I saw it and wrote about it and why I predicted FSU would win nine games (including their bowl game) when most others projected seven wins. I also predicted FSU would finish 12-0 and compete for the ACC Title before the 2023 season. I've been ahead of the curve for a while with FSU, and it was good to see Youtuber Josh Pate finally caught up to what I've been saying for a while. Pate predicts FSU will be one of the top programs over the next 2-3 years. He attributes his reasoning to better recruiting, but it's way more than that. Here are my top three reasons why FSU will be among the top programs over the next few seasons (as long as Mike Norvell is the head coach).
