3. Florida State Gets The Respect They Deserve

Our friendly ACC foes are coming off a loss to North Carolina on Saturday, but only dropped one spot in this week’s rankings and are still inside of the top ten. As much as I love to hate on the Associated Press every week, they did get this one correct.

Just like the Cards, FSU has been on a tough stretch of games. They are currently heading into their fifth straight game against a ranked opponent, not to mention they still have to play No. 12 Louisville on Saturday afternoon.

I was afraid that, even though they are 16-2, the Associated Press would drop them because of one loss to UNC.

However, wins over #21 Florida, #12 Virginia, #21 Virginia Tech, and #7 Duke prove that the Seminoles are a legit basketball team and they will be hanging around the top ten all season long.
