I'm trying not to be hyperbolic, but I can't think of a better word than this to describe FSUs current situation: apocalyptic.
You've got a 1-7 (1-6) team that is coming off a two year 23-4 run. They've got UNC, ND, Charleston Southern, and Florida left. Notre Dame beats them easy, and UF does too imo. UNC also has the edge against them and they beat CSU, they go 2-10 (1-7) for the year. I cannot recall such a quick collapse for a program. It's remarkable. Not to mention they have the #32 class right now and no momentum in recruiting.
Unfortunately for them, they also can't get rid of Norvell. His buyout is Jimbo Level A&M high, and they are stuck with him until the end of the 2026 season imo. He's gonna need to clean house and go all out in the portal to get them back to respectability next year (which was the strategy that created the problems he faces today). The HS recruiting is never going to be what it needs to be to catch up.
