Alabama beat #3 ranked FSU 24-7 first game of the season. They dominated them start to finish and the FSU quarterback was knocked out late in the 4th quarter. You might not remember but the BCS committee sure will. They’ll make the playoff, especially if OHU beats WI in the Big 10 title game. They also beat LSU, who beat Auburn.
Pre season rankings are the most subjective if them all. Fast forward and Florida State has 6 losses on the year, hardly a resume enhancer
