This is what he wrote: “The Seminoles let me down last year, as I had them ranked No. 1 in the preseason and figured they would go unbeaten. However, they had lost two All-Americans off the defense in DE Brandon Jenkins and CB/KR Greg Reid by the time the first game was over. The Noles were favored by at least two touchdowns in 13 of their 14 games and by seven in the other, but they blew two fourth-quarter leads and lost twice. FSU ended up having 11 players taken in the 2013 NFL draft, which was more than any other program in the country. The talent was there, but the ability to finish was not. “Despite those personnel losses and a tougher schedule than last year (FSU has to play Clemson and Florida on the road), this is a team that is capable of being a national title contender. Seven of the Seminoles’ eight units rank in the top 12 of my positional rankings, with quarterback being the only one that does not. However, Jameis Winston has the potential to become a star redshirt freshman quarterback in the same way that Johnny Manziel, Brett Hundley, Everett Golson and Marcus Mariota did last year. “The Seminoles do not have as clear of a path to the title as they did last year, but four of my nine sets of power ratings call for them to have an unbeaten season.” - See more at: http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/semi...ked-no-3-by-phil-steele/#sthash.wkH7Sd5C.dpuf
