The Florida St. Seminoles enter the 2015 season without precocious and oftentimes troubled playmaker Jameis Winston, but will also miss standout playmakers such as Karlos Williams, Rashad Greene, Cameron Erving, Ronald Darby and P.J. Williams.
The Seminoles ended the 2014 season with a loss to Oregon in the national semifinals in Pasadena, a loss that ended a 29-game winning streak that is tied for the 13th longest in NCAA history.
Last year the top-ranked Seminoles came back to beat No. 22 Clemson 23-17 in overtime, but this year’s party is in Death Valley. The Tigers host the Seminoles on the first weekend of November – going away from the early-season battles of the last few years – and on the line might be a division title and an appearance in the ACC Championship Game.
