That stability narrative is ignoring the real on-field regression. Florida State's offensive efficiency dropped 35 spots in SP+ last year, that's NOT a reload. The portal isn't a rental lot, it's how you patch major holes, and their refusal to adapt there is a weakness lol. Being in preseason talks is based on brand name, not recent results. They haven't won the ACC since 2014, and their defense gave up 30+ points in four of their last five games. That's a machine that's sputtering, not humming.
